Story summary

Republican firebrand Lauren Boebert lost her bid for reelection to Democratic challenger Eileen Laubacher in Colorado’s 4th Congressional District during the 2026 midterms. The Associated Press called the race over on Friday, reporting that Laubacher won with 48.8% of the vote compared to Boebert’s 47.9%, while Libertarian candidate Douglas Mangeris secured 3.3%. This defeat marks the end of Boebert’s tenure in Congress after three terms, a position she moved into in 2024 after switching to the "redder" 4th District from the 3rd District. Laubacher, a retired Navy rear admiral and Afghanistan war veteran, defeated the MAGA supporter who had previously faced several scandals during her time in office. The loss occurred amid a broader "blue tsunami" in the midterms, which saw Democrats flip seats and potentially gain control of both chambers of Congress in the term beginning in January. Before the final results were tallied, Boebert had criticized the Republican Party for being "too moderate" while facing her own potential defeat.
