Lauren Boebert, a MAGA Favorite, Loses Her Re-election Bid in Colorado
Representative Lauren Boebert, a hard-line Republican, on Friday narrowly lost her bid for re-election in a conservative Colorado district, according to The Associated Press, an outcome that showed just how deeply Democrats had encroached into Republican territory this year.
Ms. Boebert, a fiery favorite of the MAGA movement, switched congressional districts a few years ago after her former district grew more competitive. But the change was not enough to keep her from being ousted by Eileen Laubacher, a Democrat.
Ms. Laubacher, a retired rear admiral in the Navy, was leading by more than 3,000 votes when The Associated Press called the race. Ms. Boebert said she called to congratulate Ms. Laubacher on Friday, four days after the Democrat declared victory, and hinted that she would not be retreating from the public eye.
“Public service was never meant to be a lifetime career, nor did I ever intend for it to be for myself,” Ms. Boebert said in a video posted on X. ”Our founders expected representatives to serve and go back home.”
She added: “So I’m home, I am happy, I have peace, and this is not the last you’ll be hearing from me.”
Democrats flooded the airwaves in the district with more than $7 million worth of ads, outspending Republicans by more than 23 to 1, according to the media tracking firm AdImpact. Many of the ads fixed on Ms. Boebert’s polarizing nature and past scandals, with one calling her “uniquely unfit.” Another ad contrasted Ms. Laubacher’s profile as a Navy veteran and mother of five with headlines about Ms. Boebert.
“Lauren Boebert flips out over ‘Beetlejuice’ groping footage,’” the chyron read in one clip, referring to Ms. Boebert’s ejection from a Denver theater in 2023. Another showed Ms. Boebert cursing at the person filming.
“Like so many of us, Eileen is done with the extremists in both parties,” a narrator said in the ad, which was run by Ms. Laubacher’s campaign. “Maybe the best way to break through the noise is a little less talking and more listening.”
Democrats had viewed Ms. Boebert as vulnerable in the closing stretch of this year’s race, as her once-close alliance with President Trump became a liability among voters who blamed his administration for high gas prices and other affordability concerns.
Ms. Boebert, first elected in 2020, broke with Mr. Trump at times during the past year, particularly over her calls to release files related to the convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. And she drew the president’s anger by campaigning for Representative Thomas Massie, the Kentucky Republican who became a nuisance for Mr. Trump.
After the election, Ms. Boebert declined to blame Mr. Trump for Republicans’ blowout losses, though she said she was “very frustrated with the war.” She told reporters this week that the Trump administration should have gone further to deport immigrants who were in the United States illegally and that Republican lawmakers “could have done a lot more.”
Ms. Boebert said in the video posted on Friday that she went to Congress to “change how Washington works,” and that she felt she had achieved that goal.
“Those changes matter, and my hope is they will outlast any one member,” she said.
Ms. Laubacher ran on a centrist platform but hammered Ms. Boebert for her votes against resolutions directing Mr. Trump to end the war in Iran or seek congressional approval. She also centered a promise to protect rural hospitals in the wake of Medicaid cuts.
Ms. Laubacher served in the National Security Council for two years during the Biden administration, and earlier in her career she worked as a Navy intelligence officer and served in the Navy Reserves. She was promoted to the rank of rear admiral in 2018.
“I don’t answer to a political party,” Ms. Laubacher said in a statement declaring victory on Monday. “I answer to the people of the 4th district and I’ll work with anyone and everyone, including President Trump, Republicans, and Democrats to get things done for Colorado.”

Here’s the latest news and analysis from Capitol Hill.
Historic Win in Mississippi: Scott Colom, a prosecutor, will be the first Black senator elected from Mississippi since the post-Civil War Reconstruction period. The victory gives Democrats 55 seats as they await results in the Alaska race, leaving them short of a 60-seat supermajority but cushioning their margin of control.
G.O.P. Leaders: Divided House Republicans elected Representative Jim Jordan of Ohio to be their leader, elevating a pugilistic firebrand who has been a close ally of President Trump. Senate Republicans re-elected Senator John Thune of South Dakota, their current leader.
Hegseth Impeachment Vote Shelved: Eleven Democrats were absent from the vote, helping Republicans end the charges against the defense secretary. It drew sharp criticism a week after the party’s sweeping election victories.
Has the Map Shifted?: Democrats’ surprising midterm victories in states that had long seemed out of reach for them have dangled a fundamental question in front of both parties: Could America’s political map, long defined by tribalism and calcification, be changing?
Chuck Schumer: Opposition to the senator’s return as Democratic party leader burst into the open as Senator Bernie Sanders said he would not support him and other Democrats questioned whether he should remain at the top after their huge wins in the midterms.
Representative Lauren Boebert, a right-wing firebrand who has been in and out of favor with President Trump, was fighting for her seat in an unexpectedly tight race in Colorado. She trailed her Democratic opponent by a few thousand votes as of Friday morning.
Election analysts had favored Ms. Boebert over her challenger, Eileen Laubacher, a retired rear admiral in the Navy, in Colorado’s Fourth Congressional District, long considered one of the state’s safest Republican seats.
That the race has yet to be called three days after the election offered yet another sign of how dissatisfaction with Mr. Trump’s policies has hurt Republicans in the midterms.
The district encompasses a mix of rural farming and ranching communities on the Great Plains and in the suburban hubs east of Denver.
Ms. Laubacher, who served on the National Security Council in the Biden administration, was leading in the district’s more populous, suburban counties. She campaigned on ending Mr. Trump’s tariffs, enacting tax cuts for the middle class, strengthening rural hospitals, and fighting corruption.
Ms. Boebert initially gained political fame in 2020 as a hard-right gun activist, unseating a more moderate five-term Republican, Scott Tipton, in Colorado’s Third District, which is speckled with progressive upscale ski towns but dominated by conservative ranching and working-class communities. She joined the conservative Freedom Caucus that year and later helped lead the Second Amendment Caucus.
Before being elected to Congress, she had owned a gun-themed restaurant called Shooters Grill in Colorado’s ranch country, where she encouraged her wait staff to carry loaded firearms while serving customers.
In Washington, she boasted about carrying her Glock handgun and clashed with Democrats from time to time, drawing attention for her fiery statements. Shortly after the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot, she triggered an alarm while passing through a newly installed metal detector and refusing to allow guards to search her handbag.
After she won a close re-election in the Third District in 2022, she switched to the state’s more reliably conservative Fourth District for her 2024 campaign and won by about 12 points that year.
Ms. Boebert had been an ardent Trump supporter, but she fell out of his favor last year over her support for the release of the Epstein files. This year, Mr. Trump had criticized her as “weak,” but then he endorsed her just before the election, calling her a ”MAGA warrior.”
