Boebert has said the move is related to her personal life, but political analysts noted it could benefit her politically, as well, as her new district is much more Republican than her former, which backed former President Donald Trump by only eight points in 2020 and nearly elected a Democrat over Boebert in 2022.
The Fourth District is comprised of the vast, rural eastern part of the state, as well as some Democratic-trending suburbs of Denver.
Rep. Lauren Boebert, R-Colo., criticized stars Barbra Streisand and Ryan Reynolds after they donated to her Democratic rival as the Colorado Republican seeks reelection.
Boebert last week announced she will not run for reelection in her current congressional seat in Colorado’s 3rd District and will instead run in the state’s 4th District, which Rep. Ken Buck, R-Colo., currently represents. Buck announced last year he will not seek reelection in 2024.
In an interview on Steve Bannon’s “War Room” podcast, Bannon said Democrats have raised millions against Boebert heading into 2024. The Republican lawmaker accused Democrats of not having "policies that they are running on, they're simply running against Lauren Boebert.”
