Boebert Wins Third Term in Colorado's 4th District

Republican U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert secured a third term in Congress by winning a seat in Colorado's 4th District after switching from the 3rd District due to a challenging reelection outlook. Despite her victory over Democratic challenger Trisha Calvarese, Boebert underperformed compared to her GOP predecessors, winning by a narrower margin than expected in a predominantly Republican area. The switch was partly prompted by personal controversies, including an incident at a Denver theater where she was ejected for disruptive behavior. Boebert's move to a more conservative district was strategized to avoid a tough rematch with Democrat Adam Frisch, who she narrowly defeated in 2022. Her campaign capitalized on strong support from former President Donald Trump, despite previous criticisms of her conduct and political style.
