Trump wins 57 of Colorado’s 64 counties in Super Tuesday rout of Haley

How did your county vote? See the county-by-county outcome below. By BRIAN PORTER | The Rocky Mountain Voice From the Western Slope to the Eastern Plains and from Fort Collins to Trinidad, on Super Tuesday former President Donald Trump garnered broad support from Colorado Republicans across the state. He won 57 of the state’s 64 counties, with more than half of those counties providing him at least 75% support. He won 20 counties – mostly in Eastern Colorado – with at least 80% support in a race that largely came down to Trump against former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley. Only 3.3% of Republican ballots supported someone other than Trump or Haley. The unofficial ballot count gave Trump 517,884 votes across Colorado to secure 63.3% of the vote, with Haley taking 273,809 for 33...

WATCH: Colorado Democrats unveil portrait of Joe Biden, paid for by Joe taxpayer

By Marianne Goodland | Colorado Politics Colorado Democrats unveiled the state's portrait of President Joe Biden in a ceremony Friday at the state Capitol.  Biden's portrait will be displayed, along with his 45 predecessors in the state Capitol's third floor Presidential Portrait Gallery. This year's presidential portrait was commissioned by the Capitol Building Advisory Committee and paid for with taxpayer funds delegated to the legislature. That's a change from the past, when the portraits were paid for largely by private donations. READ THE FULL STORY AT COLORADO POLITICS

Clinton speaks with Biden more than Obama, aides say

By Annabella Rosciglione | Colorado Springs Gazette Despite spending eight years as Barack Obama’s vice president, Joe Biden is more regularly in contact with former President Bill Clinton than he is with Obama. In a Washington Post report, aides shared that while Biden does speak to Obama regularly, he is in closer contact with Clinton, as the two share a similar “outgoing” style. “Beneath the surface, [Biden and Obama’s relationship] has had very serious ups and downs over time, both personal and especially political,” Gabriel Debenedetti, author of The Long Alliance: The Imperfect Union of Joe Biden and Barack Obama, said in an interview with Time magazine.  READ THE FULL STORY AT THE COLORADO SPRINGS GAZETTE

Only 22% of Coloradans have voted in Presidential primary, with 5% more voting GOP over Democrat ballot

What to know: Republicans have a write-in option, but who can be voted as a write-in? What happens if you vote a candidate who has suspended their campaign? By BRIAN PORTER | The Rocky Mountain Voice Of those Coloradans eligible to cast a ballot in the Republican Party’s presidential primary election, only 15.3% have done so, according to data provided Friday by the Colorado secretary of state’s office through the close of Thursday’s reporting.

Rep. Buck calls in House resolution for President Biden to be removed through 25th Amendment

By BRIAN PORTER | The Rocky Mountain Voice President Joe Biden’s days in office would be numbered if a measure introduced Monday by U.S. Rep. Ken Buck, R-Windsor, is successful. His resolution calls upon Vice President Kamala Harris to gather members of the President’s cabinet to declare Biden “incapable of executing the duties of his office” under the 25th Amendment. It would lead to Harris immediately assuming office as the acting President. “The time has come for the Vice President and the Cabinet to put our country first and move forward on invoking the 25th Amendment,” Buck told The Hill. U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert, R-Silt, has additionally told the Rocky Mountain Voice she will file for articles of impeachment soon if Republicans don’t act as a result of investigations into...

Lincoln pardoned Joe Biden’s great-great-grandfather, newly uncovered document reveals

By David J. Gerleman | The Washington Post Every new president selects personalized Oval Office decor to suit his tastes and pay homage to admired predecessors. President Biden’s Oval Office boasts both a portrait and a bust of Abraham Lincoln. But his family’s connection to the 16th president extends far beyond workplace ornamentation. It dates to a late-night brawl during the Civil War. On the evening of March 21, 1864, the quiet of a small corner of the Army of the Potomac’s sprawling winter camp along the Rappahannock River near Beverly Ford, Va., was disturbed when a fight broke out in one of the mess tents between Union Army civilian employees Moses J. Robinette and John J. Alexander. READ THE FUL STORY AT THE WASHINGTON POST

Special Counsel Hur: Biden ‘Elderly Man With Poor Memory’

By Philip Wegmann | Real Clear Politics The same week Joe Biden publicly confused two European leaders with their deceased predecessors and passed on the traditional softball Super Bowl Sunday interview, a new report from Special Counsel Robert Hur described the president as “a sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory.” The confluence of events raised further questions about the mental acuity of the 81-year-old executive, doubts that Biden did little to dispel in a defiant session with the press at the White House Thursday evening. Biden took particular umbrage with what he described as “extraneous commentary” contained in the report. “My memory’s fine. My memory’s – take a look at what I’ve done since I became president,” Biden said sarcastically. “How did that h...

Enraged Biden lashes out at reporters, special counsel after scathing classified docs report: ‘I know what the hell I’m doing!’

BY STEVEN NELSON | NEW YORK POST President Biden lashed out at reporters and special counsel Robert Hur on Thursday night in response to a scathing report on Biden’s mishandling of classified documents that could prove devastating to his re-election prospects. Hur’s report on Biden’s improper retention of sensitive material did not recommend criminal charges, but observed that the 81-year-old commander-in-chief appeared greatly diminished mentally, forgetting the dates of key events in his life during an interview with investigators. “I’ve seen the headlines since the report was released about my willful retention of documents. These assertions are not only just misleading, they’re just plain wrong,” Biden said defiantly during a hastily scheduled appearance in the White...
