Whoever is named as the replacement would end up as the favorite. But if Lauren Boebert is a skilled politican, she can use this event and work it so she'll gain advantage from it. It's easy to point out the corruption in D.C. So that's the angle I would use.
Otherwise, people are tired of Boebert because her personal life is messy. But I don't care. She's solid and in the Freedom Caucus.
His seat won’t be filled by appointment. There will have to be a special election by August.
“But if Lauren Boebert is a skilled politican”
She’s a disaster as a politician. She’s already abandoned her old district and she’s polled poorly in the new one.
