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. Center outlets cover the threat and Boebert's response, with some also highlighting her later praise of Trump after Massie's loss as an apparent effort to repair their relationship.
