Freedom Caucus member Rep. Ken Buck (R-CO) announced Wednesday he will not be seeking reelection in 2024 due to the House Republicans’ insistence that the 2020 presidential election was stolen and their “Jan. 6 narrative.” He also predicted other Republican lawmakers will follow in his footsteps.
“I am joining Kay and probably some others in the near future,” he added, referring to House Appropriations Chairwoman Kay Granger’s (R-TX) decision not to run in 2024, also announced Wednesday.
Buck added, “I always have been disappointed with our inability in Congress to deal with major issues and I’m also disappointed that the Republican Party continues to rely on this lie that the 2020 election was stolen and rely on the Jan. 6 narrative and the political prisoners from Jan. 6 and other things.”
