A Joshi is almost like a Patel.
As of the last report Caraveo has about 7 times as much campaign funding as any Republican in CO-8. In fact, Democrats have major $$$$ advantages in the VAST majority of House districts that could/should be close in November.
A financial advantage of that magnitude doesn’t necessarily mean an automatic win, but it sure doesn’t hurt.
The new, improved RNC had better get on the ball quickly in this and several dozen other districts where GOP candidates are desperate for funds.
