Trump Says He Is Reconsidering Support for Boebert
President Trump said he is considering withdrawing his endorsement of Rep. Lauren Boebert following her primary challenge against another Republican incumbent. The statement comes amid an ongoing dispute between the two lawmakers. Boebert is seeking a different congressional seat after her current district's boundaries changed.
tass.comTrump stated that he is "not happy" with Boebert's decision to challenge the incumbent in a different congressional district after redistricting altered her own. Boebert advanced from a crowded Republican primary field in her new district earlier this month. She now faces the incumbent lawmaker in the general election.
Trump has previously endorsed Boebert in past election cycles. His comments indicate a potential shift in that position as the dispute continues. The president said he had not yet made a final decision on whether to pull his endorsement.
He added that he would continue to monitor the situation in the coming weeks.
