The Spin

Democratic narrative

Boebert and Bowman both represent the edges of their parties, so the contrasting outcomes in primaries speak volumes about the differences between Democratic and Republican voters. While Democrats generally want their leaders to compromise with Republicans, Republicans tend to support extremist candidates, especially those aligned with Trump.

Republican narrative

While Trump's endorsement remains vital as he leads the GOP field in the run-up to the 2024 elections, it's certainly not infallible — especially as shown in Colorado and Utah. Yet not too much should be read into these blips — the former president and presumed GOP nominee for 2024 still has dominant sway within his party.
