Boebert loses House seat to Democrat Eileen Laubacher
Rep. Lauren Boebert lost her reelection bid in a close race against Democrat Eileen Laubacher.
The Associated Press called the election in Colorado’s 4th Congressional District for Laubacher on Friday afternoon.
The retired Navy rear admiral and Afghanistan war veteran is the latest Democrat to flip a House seat. Democrats will hold at least 256 seats when the new Congress begins in January.
Boebert is a hard-line Republican and MAGA favorite known for her controversies and clashes with fellow lawmakers. She had moved to a more conservative district after a narrow win in 2022, but even that wasn’t enough to secure victory.
