After Thomas Massie lost his Republican primary, Lauren Boebert posted a message praising Donald Trump, days after Trump threatened to support a challenger against her. The article describes the post as an apparent effort to repair their relationship.
Boebert posted on Tuesday evening after Massie was defeated in the Republican primary by Trump-backed challenger Ed Gallrein. Her post celebrated her son’s graduation and included, “Trump is my President!” and praise for the country. The article characterizes the post as an attempt to regain Trump’s favor.
Trump had attacked Boebert on Saturday for supporting Massie and said he might withdraw his endorsement and back a primary challenger against her. The article says Boebert was one of four Republicans who signed a discharge petition to release the Jeffrey Epstein files; it also notes that Marjorie Taylor Greene resigned in January and that Nancy Mace had so far avoided Trump’s criticism.
