After voters in her original district tired of Boebert’s antics, she moved to a neighboring, more conservative Colorado district with an open seat. Boebert won that election, but the same antics that caused her to wear out her welcome in her previous district helped the blue wave sweep her away in 2026.
Boebert has been trailing in her race and is expected to lose her seat.
On Friday afternoon, the AP declared Boebert’s seat to be another Democratic flip.
The New York Times reported:
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 encroached into Republican territory this year.
