Can a MAGA Warrior Go Normie? Michelle Cottle Goes to a Biker Bar to Find Out.
We’re getting ready for this week’s presidential debate. In the meantime, we wanted to share an audio essay from Michelle Cottle on a make-or-break vote for the MAGA warrior Lauren Boebert. The controversial lawmaker is facing a primary in Colorado that will determine her political future. Michelle visited a biker bar in Douglas County, Colo., to understand the ways Boebert is tweaking her image in a new district in hopes of winning over more traditional conservatives. Can she do it without losing hard-core Trump fans? This audio essay was originally made for the NYT Audio app, free for Times subscribers in the Apple App Store.
