Mike Johnson 'blindsided' by abrupt departure that could end Lauren Boebert's career
rawstory.com

Boebert had switched districts after Buck announced his impending retirement to avoid a stiff challenge from Democrat Adam Frisch in the 3rd district, but Buck's immediate departure will set up a special election in which the state Republican and Democratic parties will choose a nominee – and there's no guarantee they'll pick the controversial Boebert.

Further complicating matters, Boebert would have to resign her seat in the 3rd district to run in that special election because Colorado law prohibits a candidate from running for more than one office at a time, and her resignation would set up yet another U.S. House special election before the end of the year.

Her career is already over. She just hasn’t accepted it yet.

The past 10 years have taught me not to get up hope that you're right.

She's just going to pivot back into her more honest profession, sex work.

Let's be real here. She is in the process of divorcing he rich husband, in a scenario that appears he is to blame. So she isn't going to be hurting for money.

I'm just saying Republicans aren't known for thinking "Yes, this is enough money" and OnlyFans still exists.

She's also made millions during her tenure, several times more than her salary.

Edit: Nvm, that was apparently desinformation, please disregard.
