Observers say Boebert is at a disadvantage due to the fact the special election to serve the remainder of Buck's term is being held the same day as the primary for the full term — a move the divisive ally of Donald Trump argues was aimed specifically at hurting her. |

MEXICO CITY — Russian messaging and media are growing in Mexico, which is holding federal elections in June and whose proximity to the United States makes it an invaluable intelligence target. Russia's diplomatic footprint in Mexico is also disproportionately large compared to Mexico's representation in Moscow, a disparity that's raising concerns about potential Kremlin espionage and cyber activity in North America. |
