Republican Representative Lauren Boebert lost her Colorado congressional seat to Democrat Eileen Laubacher, the AP declared, after a close race that was too close to call on election night. Boebert will not serve a fourth term. BBC US and Canada reported the loss on November 13, 2026. Boebert rose to fame as one of Donald Trump's most vocal supporters and a MAGA figure, known for pro-Trump rhetoric and heckling President Joe Biden at his 2022 State of the Union address. Her support in Colorado eroded after personal controversies, including a 2022 near-defeat by Adam Frisch by just 546 votes, a Denver theatre ejection that went viral, and her later break with Trump over the Epstein files. Trump then criticised her publicly and endorsed her only after Democrats had found a strong moderate challenger in Laubacher, a retired Navy two-star rear admiral. BBC reported that Laubacher's win reflected her own appeal to middle-ground voters as much as a rebuke of Boebert.
