Adam Frisch, unopposed in his second primary run as a Democrat in Colorado’s 3rd Congressional District, has flipped on his previous position to let the “presidential race play out and see what happens.”
He previously lost the seat to Republican Lauren Boebert in 2022, who has since relocated to Windsor in the 4th District, where she is vying to return to Congress.
In an Axios Denver report in August 2023, Frisch indicated he would not support President Joe Biden.
Biden’s favorability was 20 points under water in 3rd District polling at the time, Axios reported.
In a Demoractic forum last week, Frisch sang a different tune when pressed on whether he would support the Democratic Party’s nominee – presumedly Joe Biden – or his longtime friend Dean Phillips.
“I went to middle school and high school with Dean Phillips and I went to college with Dean Phillips, as well,” Frisch said. “I will support whoever the nominee is, President Biden or someone else, to be. I think Dean has made a comment that he has no interest and no plans of running as a third party candidate.”
His comment “someone else, to be” also indicated that, like many Republican and Independent voters, Frisch might not believe Joe Biden will be the nominee with pressure from within to resign related to his age-related physical and mental condition.
“Adam Frisch is as sneaky as they come, but he can’t fool Coloradans who already rejected his extremist values in 2022,” said Delanie Bomar, spokeswoman for the National Republican Congressional Committee. “We wouldn’t want to be seen supporting Biden either – not that Biden would be able to remember Frisch anyways.”
