Blue Wave Could Wash This Second Amendment Champion Out of Office

Listen to Article

Colorado's Fourth Congressional District race remains uncalled, with Representative Lauren Boebert trailing Democrat Eileen Laubacher by about 2,500 votes among nearly 350,000 counted, or roughly 93 percent of the total. Boebert won the seat two years earlier by more than 11 points after moving into the district and has supported Second Amendment rights in Congress.

Laubacher's website and campaign made no mention of the Second Amendment or gun control. Her media kit described Libertarian Douglas Mangeris as too conservative for opposing Colorado firearm restrictions, pointing to possible support for the state's permit-to-purchase requirement on most centerfire semiautomatic long guns, large-capacity magazine limits, a three-day waiting period on transfers, and Extreme Risk Protection Orders.

A Boebert defeat would still mark a significant congressional loss for Second Amendment supporters even with a large incoming Democratic House majority.
