GOP Rep. Lauren Boebert wins primary against moderate challenger

• It's another win for Trump, who had endorsed Boebert last year.

The back story: Boebert overcame a shift from Democrats to unaffiliated voters who wanted to support Boebert's opponent. Numerous political groups took aim at Boebert by supporting Coram, the New York Times reports.

• Boebert has been at the center of numerous controversies since joining Congress but is one of many Republicans who see themselves as "untouchable."

The big picture: The swell of voters crossing party lines in an attempt to tamp down some of the country's most right-leaning candidates is part of a national trend, including in Georgia and Utah.

By the numbers: The 3rd District is definitively Republican — with Trump winning the district in 2020 with 52% of the vote — and the latest congressional maps have pushed the seat even further to the right.

• Boebert's strategy to take hardline stances and position herself as a lightning rod for controversy resulted in a major fundraising advantage.
• She raised $4.6 million in comparison to Coram's $226,000.
