Representative Lauren Boebert didn’t miss a beat in addressing the infamous “Beetlejuice” incident that brought her national attention, laughing off the headlines during a recent House floor speech. Despite the recent uproar, Boebert’s popularity appears untarnished as she runs for a new Colorado seat in one of the state’s most Republican districts. Now vying for Colorado’s 4th District seat, Boebert is poised for victory, with The Economist predicting a landslide win.
Boebert’s move from the 3rd District to the solidly conservative 4th has only amplified her “America First” brand. Endorsed by Donald Trump himself, who praised her as a “trusted fighter,” Boebert’s campaign has remained steady in the polls. The Economist’s prediction model gives her a dominant 23-point lead over Democratic opponent Trisha Calvarese, with a 95% chance of securing the seat. While Calvarese has raised a notable $3.18 million, including $2.6 million this quarter, Boebert remains well-positioned in a district rated R+13 by the Cook Political Report.
At Trump’s rally in Aurora, Boebert doubled down on her allegiance, rallying attendees for Trump’s return in 2025. “Are you ready for him to look those swamp creatures in the eyes and say, ‘As I was saying…’?” she asked. Known for her outspoken nature, Boebert continues to resonate with her base, even joking about recent controversies with the same fierce defiance that’s defined her political career.
