REUTERS/Kate MunschWASHINGTON, June 28 - Republican candidates who echoed former President Donald Trump's false claims of a stolen presidency were defeated in high-profile nominating contests in Colorado on Tuesday ahead of November's midterm elections.
Those defeats came on a day when a congressional committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack heard testimony from a former Trump White House aide that she had been told he tried to take control of his presidential limousine that day when his security detail declined to take him to the Capitol where his supporters were rioting.In western Colorado, firebrand Republican Representative Lauren Boebert was projected by Edison to defeat challenger Don Coram, who had argued that she is too extreme.
Miller's aides say she meant to say "right to life," but Davis says it is further evidence that she is unfit for office, citing previous controversial comments. A Republican-controlled House could stymie Biden's legislative agenda and launch politically damaging investigations into his administration.
