AINews Summary

Victor Marx has moved ahead of Barbara Kirkmeyer in the Colorado Republican governor primary, with most ballots counted. The race remains close, but the reported margin is not near the recount threshold. Recent coverage also points to party division and strain after the primary. Marx appears slightly favored after moving ahead, but the close count keeps uncertainty high until results are certified. The narrow margin may also leave room for volatility if remaining ballots change the lead.

Victor Marx and Scott Bottoms bring the dumpster fire to the Republican primary (Opinion)

It would be funny if it weren’t sad. A three-way primary race for Colorado governor pits Barb Kirkmeyer, an experienced lawmaker, against two men with little or no governing experience and a propensity for fabrication.
