The Economist's comprehensive prediction model, which ran over 10,000 simulations incorporating various factors, projects Boebert winning with a significant +23 percent margin, indicating "a better than 19 in 20 chance" of victory against Democratic opponent Trisha Calvarese. @trisha4colorado / X
Despite trailing in polls, Calvarese has shown impressive fundraising capabilities, securing $3.18 million total, with $2.6 million raised in the latest quarter. @trisha4colorado / X
Financial records from OpenSecrets indicate Calvarese maintains a stronger cash position, with $1.3 million on hand compared to Boebert's $548,551 as of September's end. @trisha4colorado / X
