- President Donald Trump threatened to endorse a primary challenge against Republican Representative Lauren Boebert, labeling her as "weak-minded."
- Boebert responded that she cannot be primaried as the filing deadline for candidates in Colorado passed on March 18, two months before Trump's threat.
- Trump's ire was sparked by Boebert campaigning for fellow Republican Thomas Massie, a prominent critic of Trump within the House Republican conference.
