U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert has won the Republican primary in a U.S. House race that she jumped into last year, surviving a scandal over a video of her at a Denver theater and accusations of 'carpetbagging' after fleeing what could have been a tough reelection bid in her current district.

DENVER — U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert has won the Republican primary in a U.S. House race that she jumped into last year, surviving a scandal over a video of her at a Denver theater and accusations of “carpetbagging” after fleeing what could have been a tough reelection bid in her current district.
Boebert built national hard-line conservative stardom through a take-no-prisoners political style in the House. That clout 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.”
Boebert beat a group of homegrown primary candidates who had far less name recognition and generally less combative political styles. She is expected to win the November general election in the 4th District, which is a dark shade of red and tilted heavily toward former President Donald Trump in the 2020 election.
