Trump offers off-ramp to Hope Scheppelman, clearing primary for Rep. Jeff Hurd

Ryan and Chris Rourke (Colorado Inside Out) go in-depth on the latest in Colorado politics. Starting off, a national story in which President Trump dangled the promise of an offer to Hope Scheppelman and her husband to join his administration in return for bowing out of the CO-3 primary race and allowing Rep. Jeff Hurd to run unopposed in preparation for what will be a formidable, well-funded Democrat opponent in the district.

They also discuss the recent county assemblies, where Representative Boebert and Representative Evans gave strong deliveries, while Chris maintains Victor Marx's comments were brief and vague. They also touch on Representative Brandi Bradley's relationship with Democratic Representative Regina English, and the controversy surrounding her alliance. Chris shares her analysis on the situation, highlighting the importance of working across the aisle while staying true to conservative principles. The conversation also covers the upcoming primary election and the dynamics between local politicians, including Priscilla Rahn calling out Rep. Bradley with some eye-opening comments on a video posted in collaboration with Rep. English.
