John,
There are many positive signs that Lauren Boebert's time in Congress is headed toward an appropriately embarrassing end next year.
Beyond what we saw happen last November, when first-time candidate and Democrat Adam Frisch nearly defeated Boebert in what is supposed to be a safe Republican district, the dynamic already this year is encouraging.
There are now many groups putting in the time to organize and focus grassroots strength, including The Colorado Turnout Project. In 2022, CTP was one of only a handful of organizations and political groups that made the argument for Boebert's weakness. When she nearly lost, we were shocked but definitely not surprised.
Additionally, Boebert has tethered herself to the political fortunes of disgraced former president Donald Trump, who is on the brink of (at least) two more credible and damning indictments, both of which carry possible criminal charges.
If Trump falls, Boebert has no chance at winning serious support from her own party, and the voters will all remember she stood with a sexual abuser and manipulative liar through thick and thin—we'll make sure of that.
