“CD8 is the Dems’ worst nightmare because, yes, it’s a swing district, but it’s blue collar,” he said. “They are not dyed-in-the-wool, limousine liberals.”
Colorado Treasurer Dave Young, a Democrat who used to hold a competitive state House seat in Greeley that’s within the 8th District, said a moderate candidate will fare best in the district. “I don’t think extreme approaches are going to work — on either side of the aisle,” he said.
A new swing district created for the purpose of "hispanic influence" based in large portions of Adams that snakes all the way up to Greeley in Weld County.
It was Obama +7.9 in 2012, Trump +1.8 in 2016 and Biden +4.6 in 2020. Unlike the rest of the front range this area hasn't trended very Democratic due to it being the lowest education part of this region.
And yes I obviously kept the Obama numbers here before everyone just saw the 2016 and 2020 numbers and goes #TRENDZ.
I seriously have no idea why national Democrats decided to complain about their 5th being Biden +9, but in the end it just got pushed down to Biden +4.6
Also might as well include the fact it was +1.7 Hickenlooper, +1.9 Polis and +2 Bennet
