Lauren Boebert trails Democratic challenger in tight Colorado House race
Laubacher led by 5,073 votes with 94% counted, and the race remained too close to call, according to the Associated Press.
- On Wednesday, Republican Rep. Lauren Boebert trailed Democratic challenger Eileen Laubacher in Colorado's 4th Congressional District, with 99% of votes counted showing Laubacher leading 49.2% to 47.7%, according to the Associated Press.
- Seeking a "fresh start following a difficult year" involving family turmoil and scandals, Boebert switched to the 4th Congressional District in late 2023 after representing Colorado's 3rd Congressional District.
- Retired two-star United States Navy rear admiral Laubacher, who served more than 30 years, states, "I have never felt as much of a threat to our country, our Constitution, our very democracy."
- President Donald Trump endorsed Boebert, a onetime staunch MAGA ally who has at times strayed from his agenda; this contest tests her political standing amid the tight race.
- Analysts have yet to call the final outcome as vote counting continues; the result will determine whether Boebert secures a fourth term in Congress or Laubacher flips the seat.
