Her resounding win showcases her political cachet among hard-right Republicans and positions her for a likely easy win in the November general election.
By Jesse Bedayn, Associated Press/Report for AmericaRepublican congresswoman Lauren Boebert speaks to supporters during a primary election watch party, Tuesday, June 25, 2024, in Windsor, Colo.
“America will rise again, and I am so excited that you all are here to be a part of it with me,” Boebert said to applause. Boebert built national hard-line conservative stardom that likely made it easier for her to weather the scandals of the last year, which included the video of her vaping and causing a disturbance at a musical production of “Beetlejuice.”
Sonnenberg congratulated Boebert and pledged to support her, saying, “I look forward to helping her win this seat in November and then being a resource to her on rural issues in this district.” Crank said Tuesday night that he looks forward to being his district’s conservative voice in Congress and urged Republicans to unite behind Trump, posting on the social platform X: “We have a country to save from Joe Biden’s Open Border Crisis and the failure of the Democrats’ economic policy.”
The race is to fill the seat of Republican Rep. Doug Lamborn, who did not seek reelection. As in the 4th District, the winner of the Republican-friendly 5th District will be favored in the general election.
