‘A good free-for-all’: Weld County crowd reacts to first Biden-Trump debate meeting of ’24

By BRIAN PORTER | Rocky Mountain Voice HUDSON -- Just a jog down the road from where a rancher long ago installed two, giant pro-Donald Trump billboards in his pastures, the Republican Women of Weld met Thursday to cheer on the former, and they hope future, President.
