Boebert faces first test in new district as firebrand fights for her political life

Published January 25, 2024 12:43pm ET



Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) will have to convince voters from her new district why they should send her back to Washington in Thursday’s first Republican primary debate.

Boebert made the switch to the plains of Colorado‘s 4th Congressional District across the state from her mountainous 3rd District, which she is representing for a second term after narrowly beating Democratic challenger Adam Frisch in 2022. The two were slated to go head-to-head again this year before Boebert switched to the eastern Colorado district over uncertainties of whether or not she could beat him again. Despite her new district voting for former President Donald Trump, of whom she has been a staunch supporter, by 20 percentage points in 2020, voters are not sold on the firebrand representative.
