The narrow margin in Congress leaves both major parties fighting fiercely for every available seat in 2024. “By Lauren Boebert district shopping and becoming a carpetbagger so she can keep her office in D.C., she has now become part of the swamp,” he said. Still, Boebert is joining a race that is practically guaranteed to elect a Republican anyway, said Galdieri. Before she switched districts, Boebert had apologized up and down Colorado’s 3rd district as part of her last-ditch strategy against Frisch.

After Boebert won her last race by just 546 votes, she began revamping her campaign strategy. So-called ballot harvesting, which she's decried as an underhanded Democratic tactic, will be part of her campaign strategy. While campaigning in the district this election, Boebert seems “more empathetic" than her disruptive national profile. At events and debates in the last election, Boebert railed against then-Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who became a foil for bloated government, a broken system and Democratic demagoguery. After Colorado's largely city dwellers voted to reintroduce wolves to Colorado, Boebert has also proposed legislation to give ranchers greater recourse to defend their flocks.

The House returns this week from a lengthy August recess to a jam-packed September, with an end-of-month deadline to avert a government shutdown quickly approaching, foisting intense pressure upon House Speaker Kevin McCarthy. With just one of 12 spending bills passed through the House, little time remains to take action to keep the government fully functional by the Sept. 30 deadline. And should McCarthy look to Democrats to sidestep conservative demands, some have warned that they’ll bring up a vote for his ouster. Instead, some suggest that launching a Biden impeachment inquiry is McCarthy’s only true bargaining chip with those on the right. And to complicate matters further, the two chambers have marked up the spending bills at different levels, making reconciling the legislation all the more difficult.
