About this episode
This is the fifth episode of a special, limited-run podcast series, Lauren Boebert Can’t Lose , from City Cast Denver. Catch the first four episodes on our website: denver.citycast.fm ! When Lauren Boebert announced late last year that she was moving to run for Congress in a whole new district, the experts all thought she was toast. But here we are on the eve of Colorado’s Republican primaries on June 25, and she is the clear frontrunner to win. She’s polling 35% ahead of her closest opponent, and she raised more money than all five of them combined. So on the fifth episode of this limited podcast series, we’ve got the story of how she came back from the Beetlejuice scandal stronger than ever. Heidi Beedle mentioned evangelical leader Lance Wallnau’s description of Trump as a “ modern-day King Cyrus .” For more from Heidi, you can find their latest reporting at the Colorado Times Recorder .
