Boebert Says Colorado Primary Is Settled After Trump Threat

Trump threatened to support a primary challenger to Lauren Boebert after she campaigned for Thomas Massie, and Boebert said Colorado's primary was already settled. Left-leaning outlets frame the threat as retaliation against Boebert for breaking with Trump and emphasize her claim that the primary was settled.
