Eclipsed in the interim by her best frenemy, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, who has taken on the role of MAGA Translator in Chief for McCarthy, Boebert seemed spoiling for an opportunity to throw herself in front of cameras again. Consequently, when the hint of opposition to the debt plan deal surfaced, Boebert straightened her skirt, flipped her hair and went running to the closest reporters. It is the political equivalent of a Pavlovian bell.
Boebert could not help but undermine her own leadership and party. The opportunity to promote her own brand and social media following pulled more strongly than any political loyalty, much less the best interests of her constituents thousands of miles away.
Boebert did stop short of calling for McCarthy to be removed from office. A part of the Succession-esque “meal fit for a king” Boebert and company forced McCarthy to swallow in exchange for their support in his Speaker bid, she demurred when asked about whether a snap vote should be called to oust McCarthy. Instead, Boebert replied that she was “focused on taking down this bill.”
Apparently, she was so focused that she forgot when the vote was scheduled.
Who cares? She is just one of 400 plus congressional measures. Her vote wouldn't have changed the outcome of the bill
Much more important? Senator Feinstein and Senator Fetterman are part of a 51 vote razor thin Democrat majority in the Senate and their long absences because of mental illness and physical ailments has hurt President Biden getting his agenda passed and judges appointed. Both need to retire and be replaced.

YA WELL, she is my district rep......"u r in Bobert Country".....BoBo is a blowhard who is NOT the brightest
crayon in the box......watch her numbers for the next vote. ONE TRICK PONY
Ironically your vote against her reelection was as useless as her vote against the McCarthy compromise. She was doing more for her side talking with the press and skipping the vote.
