Today, former NYC Mayor Rudy Giuliani and leading Donald Trump campaign attorney Jenna Ellis hosted a press conference detailing what Trump billed earlier today is his “very clear an viable path to victory.” Giuliani has a simpler way of describing it: Giuliani is explicitly saying that Trump’s goal is to “overturn the election” pic.twitter.com/U2osm6qiC5 — […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) “If anybody out there thinks that this can’t happen to them and their friends, the Joe-and-Lilly story really woke people up to, ‘Yeah, it can,’” said Chris Holbert, Colorado’s Senate Republican leader, expressing his sadness today over the death from COVID-19 of former state Rep. Joe Nunez of Douglas County and […]

As the Denver Post’s Alex Burness reports: Colorado state lawmakers are preparing for Gov. Jared Polis to call a special session focused on COVID-19 relief. Top Democratic officials in both chambers of the statehouse say they and the Democratic governor’s office have been in talks for weeks on a possible special session, and that the […]
AP via CBS4 Denver reports on Rep.-elect Lauren Boebert’s big weekend in Washington, D.C. at the Million MAGA March rally to celebrate in denial of President Donald Trump’s glorious victory resounding defeat at the polls almost two weeks ago: Fervent supporters of President Donald Trump rallied in Washington on Saturday behind his spurious claim of […]
House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy got his first official taste of what it will be like to be constantly answering questions about House Republicans — including Rep-elect Lauren “Q*Bert” Boebert” — who are QAnon conspiracy enthusiasts. As The Washington Post explains: House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) on Thursday defended two incoming Republican congresswomen who […]
UPDATE: In his column for The Denver Post, soon-to-be-former District Attorney George Brauchler explains that there was no blue wave in Colorado because Republican Lauren “Q*Bert” Boebert was elected to a Congressional seat that Republicans already held and Democrats only won one extra battle in the State Senate: The Blue Wave redux appears to have […]

(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Colorado Republicans are asking their supporters for donations to investigate election fraud, but apparently only in those races they lost or are still too close to call. Two days after the election the state party used the still as-yet undecided race for District Attorney in the 18th Judicial District as a […]
With most of planet Earth outside of Russia, China, and the Republican Party congratulating President-elect Joe Biden on his hard-won victory over Donald Trump in last week’s election, Trump’s refusal to concede and the Republican “dead enders” raging on against hope that some development may yet be uncovered mandating a do-over, or Trump getting another […]
As the Grand Junction Sentinel’s veteran political reporter Charles Ashby reports, Republican Rep.-elect Lauren “Q*Bert” Boebert did the thing every winning candidate has to do–run up the score in your strongholds (with one notable exception, see below), and don’t lose too badly in the places you’re going to lose: Democrat Diane Mitsch Bush didn’t pull […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) After truly devastating losses in 2018 and again this year, the Colorado GOP is left with only one Republican who’s been elected by a statewide vote in Colorado. That’s little-known University of Colorado Regent Heidi Ganahl, who won her statewide “at large” position on CU’s governing board in 2016. Democrats will […]
John Ingold writes for the Colorado Sun: For the first time in 84 years in Colorado and for only the fourth time in state history, Democrats have won … everything. The governor’s mansion. The secretary of state’s, treasurer’s and attorney general’s offices. Both chambers of the state legislature. The balance of power in the state’s […]
Republican Sen. Cory Gardner also lost his U.S. Senate seat today, leaving CU Regent Heidi Ganahl as the last Republican elected to a statewide office in Colorado. (Promoted by Colorado Pols) Richard Murray, a Republican running for a seat on the board that controls the University of Colorado, centered his campaign, in part, on warning […]
The Hill’s Julia Manchester reports as the clock ticks down to the final hours of Sen. Cory Gardner’s all-but-over-but-the-shouting re-election campaign–a final pitch from Gardner making a comparison that has Democrats seeing red: Gardner is one of the most vulnerable incumbent Republican senators. The nonpartisan Cook Political Report rates the race as “lean Democratic.” The […]
CNN’s Manu Raju reports that Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell is pushing back the possibility of another economic stimulus bill even further, from right after election as President Donald Trump promised if he wins to after the New Year no matter what happens Tuesday: McConnell pours cold water on doing a stimulus package in lame-duck, […]
Westword’s Michael Roberts reports on an ugly new mail piece hitting Colorado’s U.S. Senate race from the Colorado Republican Committee, provoking significant backlash over their employment of “Willie Horton”-style racially charged scare tactics: Accusations of racism and more have arisen over a series of fliers supporting Senator Cory Gardner’s reelection bid. Among other things, the […]

As The Colorado Sun reports via its Unaffiliated newsletter, Sen. Cory Gardner (R-Yuma) already has some post-election plans: Ten days after the election Republican U.S. Sen. Cory Gardner is hosting a fundraiser at Disney World for his Project West PAC, according to his campaign. It’s an annual event. It’s nice that Gardner can take his family on a […]
UPDATE: The video is cringeworthy: Kelly Loeffler touts a 100% pro-Trump record. So I asked her if she disagreed with Trump on anything. She said “no.” Another reporter asked about Trump boasting about sexually assaulting women. She said she was “not familiar” with that. I mentioned it was “Access Hollywood” tape. pic.twitter.com/B2TH1oRvPn — Manu Raju […]
Even if you’re running for coroner–or especially if you’re running for coroner–Trump is the most import topic of the election. Yet, some Colorado Republicans running for office this election won’t say if they support Trump, apparently believing that if they do so, they will scare away voters in competitive districts. Since our first report exposing […]
