Lauren Boebert Loses Colorado House Seat to Democrat Eileen Laubacher After Close Race
Lauren Boebert loses Colorado congressional seat: Democrat Eileen Laubacher has been declared the winner by the AP after a close race, ending Boebert's bid for a fourth term. The former MAGA star's rise, controversies and clash with Donald Trump over the Epstein files are part of her political story.
Lauren Boebert loses Colorado congressional seat, Digi Mart USA News (Colorado): Republican Representative Lauren Boebert has lost her seat in Congress after the Associated Press declared Democrat Eileen Laubacher the winner, following a race that was too close to call on election night last week.
Boebert, 39, was one of the most vocal conservatives in the House of Representatives and a prominent figure in Donald Trump’s “Make America Great Again” movement. She will not serve a fourth term.
She first drew national attention with her restaurant Shooters in the small Colorado town of Rifle, where she encouraged staff to openly carry firearms.
Her political rise included unseating a five-term Republican incumbent in the 2020 primary and winning the seat that November. Once in Congress, she became known for aggressive pro-Trump rhetoric and for heckling President Joe Biden during his 2022 State of the Union address alongside Marjorie Taylor Greene.
Her standing at home weakened as her national profile grew. In 2022 a Democrat from Aspen nearly unseated her, and she won by just 546 votes.
She also faced personal controversies, including her divorce and a widely shared incident at a Denver performance of Beetlejuice, which an incident report said involved staff complaints about vaping, photography and causing a disturbance.
Boebert later moved to Colorado’s easternmost district, which voted reliably Republican, and won it in 2024 with Trump’s endorsement. Her relationship with the president soured after she joined three other House Republicans in pushing for the full release of the Epstein files.
Trump later vetoed a water bill she had sponsored and publicly criticised her as the election approached, before eventually endorsing her again.
Eileen Laubacher, a Navy veteran who retired in 2024 as a two-star rear admiral and was a former Republican, ran as a moderate candidate. Political observers quoted by the BBC said her win reflected both her own appeal to middle-ground voters and a rebuke of Boebert’s time in office.
Boebert’s future plans remain unclear, though one local Republican official told the BBC he did not expect her to disappear from public life.
