Celebrities from MAGA Camp,republican party colorado federationRepresentative Lauren Boebert lost her fourth consecutive term in Congress. CNN reported that by the 9th, 98% of the votes had been counted, and Boubert received 47.9% of the vote, trailing Democratic challenger Eileen Laubacher’s 48.8%. Colorado’s 4th Congressional District, which has always been a Republican vote base, flipped from red to blue in this midterm election. Laubach issued an election statement on social media on the afternoon of the 9th to thank his supporters and wrote: “Now is the time to go to work.”
A week after the midterm elections, results from Colorado’s 4th District have not yet been counted, drawing national attention.
Bubot, 39, ran for Congress for the first time in 2020 and won Colorado’s 3rd District. In 2022, he defeated Democratic nominee Adam Frisch by a margin of only 546 votes. In 2024, she moved to the 4th District, classified as a “safe district” for the Republican Party, and was still elected with an 11% lead in the vote. However, he faced failure in re-election this year.
Bubot is a key ally of President Trump in Congress and a representative of the MAGA Front. However, there have been disputes within the party, including disagreements with the two previous Republican House Speakers, Kevin McCarthy and Mike Johnson.
Laubach, 58, is a retired Navy rear admiral with a military career spanning more than 30 years. He was a Republican in the past.
Bubot did not accept defeat when speaking to supporters on the 9th. He said that the counting of foreign votes and military votes is not over yet.
“Hopefully our vote counts by Friday will show that,” Bubot said. “Whatever the voters decide, whatever the outcome, we will accept it and move forward.”
Since the 1970s, Colorado’s 4th congressional district has elected only one Democratic congressman.
Trump endorsed Beauport in a post on social media “Truth Social” in the last few days before the midterm elections, praising him as a “MAGA warrior who has supported him from the beginning.”
CNN analyzed that the relationship between Bubot and Trump has also experienced ups and downs. Earlier this year, he angered Trump by helping Republican Kentucky Representative Thomas Massie, who frequently opposes Trump, in the primary election. Trump described her as “stupid” and “weak-willed” and threatened to withdraw his support for her re-election.
