“It’s hard to imagine what a more-tempered, moderate, careful Lauren Boebert would look like.”
“The combination of nearly losing her seat and now being in the majority could cause to rethink her approach,” Seth Masket, a political scientist at the University of Denver, said. “On the other hand, it’s not clear that she has a lower gear to shift into.”
And while the money Boebert raises through her national profile certainly helps, every two years she must rely on the voters in Colorado’s 3rd Congressional District to send her back for another term, Burgat said. Plus because so much of her rhetoric stems from her religious convictions, Du Mez estimated that Boebert would be less likely to pull back because she’d be unwilling to compromise those values.
