Colorado Republicans elect new leader with an eye toward uniting a party upended by infighting

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

48% : As Colorado has settled into a steady shade of blue, the state GOP took a turn to the right under Williams, releasing anti-LGBTQ+ statements, doubling down on debunked election conspiracies and -- most recently -- inviting Steve Bannon, a former President Donald Trump advisor who recently performed a Nazi-like salute, to speak at a party gala.
23% : In a statement after Horn's victory, Murib criticized Horn as a "perfect fit for the new age of corruption that Trump requires of his puppets." While some Colorado Republicans have lamented that Trump's presence on the ballot hampers their chances here, Horn said the problem rests with the party's infrastructure -- not with the Republican standard-bearer.
