It’s no accident that Boebert’s profile in her home state these days is diverging from the Freedom Caucus rabble-rouser she’s known as on the Hill. After squeaking through a recount to a second term last fall against Democrat Adam Frisch — Boebert won by just 546 votes — it became clear that her rhetorical bomb-throwing was wearing on GOP voters.
The tl;dr of the article: Boebert is a MAGA bomb thrower for the D.C. cameras/punderati, but she's learned to lean into bread 'n' butter issues at home.
“She’s really done a good job of moderating,” said Cody Davis, a GOP Mesa County commissioner. “I think she realized, when she had to run against Adam the first time and barely won, that ‘I’ve got to start governing now.’”
One wonders if Trump will get the message.
