Does Colorado getting an extra House seat make Boebert safer

Unlike Greene, Boebert’s current district isn’t really that right wing and is only R+6....so even though she acts like Green those antics could cost her, but now that Colorado is getting an extra house seat I wonder if that means her district will get redder

I would think it depends on how much her part of CO is growing. If it is growing a bunch and the influx is more liberal, then she could be in trouble (she would have to lose people and they could wind up being her voters and not the influx of liberal voters. If there is no growth or little growth in her area her district will likely stay the same.

Following her election, 68+ lawmakers wrote asking to have her removed. With CO going more blue all the time I don’t think she will make it.

She’s on the DNCs list of the 22 most vulnerable qgop congress ppl they intend to target. And they will...donations are at an all time high..18.4 mil last quarter
