Eaton, Colorado - After repeatedly refusing to do so, MAGA Congresswoman Lauren Boebert has finally admitted to losing her re-election bid – but promised the public that she had no plans of going away.
In a video shared to X on Friday, Boebert didn't directly say that she lost, but revealed she had called her Democratic opponent Eileen Laubacher to congratulate her on her victory.
She said she "stressed" to Laubacher that the people of Colorado's 4th District are "more important than party politics."
Boebert concluded that while she is back home, happy, and "at peace" after losing, she vowed that "this is not the last you'll be hearing from me," further urging viewers to "stay tuned."
The Congresswoman's loss comes amid a midterms "blue wave," which saw Democrats win key races across the nation, allowing them to flip many typically red states and regain control of both the House and Senate.
After Boebert's race went uncalled for nearly two weeks, the Associated Press officially called the race on Thursday night, with Laubacher winning with 48.80% of the vote over Boebert's 47.89%.
Between Election Day and Thursday's call, Boebert – who built her political brand on being a staunch loyalist to President Donald Trump – had refused to concede, insisting there were "very unusual voting patterns" that needed to be looked into.
In response to praise from a fellow MAGA loyalist in an X post on Friday, Boebert appeared to push the idea that her loss was due to nefarious means by arguing "races can be baught," a misspelling that garnered plenty of mockery from users.
What's next for Lauren Boebert?
Boebert's loss comes after several other MAGA politicians and figures who had staunchly attached themselves to Trump either lost their races or turned on the president.
Many have resorted to podcasts or social media in the hopes of maintaining public status, including former Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia and Nancy Mace of South Carolina, who have each launched their own YouTube shows, and former Rep. Thomas Massie of Kentucky, who has teased starting a new political party with Greene and far-right commentator Tucker Carlson.
In a recent X post, Mace shared an AI-generated image of Greene, Massie, Boebert, and herself, describing them as the "fearless four" who have "no regrets" over leaving politics.
