Representative Ken Buck said Tuesday on CNN’s “News Central” that he was leaving the House next week to “get in the mix of this election cycle.”
Anchor Dana Bash said, “You just came from the hearing before we get to that, you announced some big news. You’re leaving Congress at the end of next week?”Buck said, “Well, everywhere I go in Colorado, Dana, I hear that people are not happy with Trump and are not happy with Biden. I think we need to change our electoral laws here and I have a passion for that. I’m going to leave and I’m going to fight find the right organization to join. I’m going to start work on that issue.
Bash said, “You already had announced that you weren’t going to not run for reelection so why leave now and leave a vacancy in an already very narrow majority for your party?” Buck said, “Yeah, because to me it’s important to get in the mix of this election cycle and start talking about the issues that people recognize our such a problem right now.
