Trump Casts Aside Repeated Scandals To Endorse Lauren Boebert Again
HuffPost
Boebert is currently running to represent Colorado's 4th congressional district.
Former President Donald Trump once again threw his support behind Republican Rep. Lauren Boebert, whose three-year tenure representing Coloradans has been marred by allegations of hypocrisy.
Writing on his website Truth Social, the former president called Boebert “a Proven Conservative and Effective Leader” and a “trusted America First Fighter” who has his “Complete and Total Endorsement.”
Boebert was first elected in 2020 to represent Colorado’s 3rd congressional district, encompassing the western half of the state. She rose to right-wing fame by touting her love for guns and Trump’s MAGA movement while capitalizing on conservative anger over COVID-19 health restrictions as the owner of a restaurant that has since shuttered.
After a narrow re-election win in 2022, Boebert decided to run to represent the state’s 4th congressional district in 2024 instead — a large swath of eastern Colorado that draws more consistently Republican votes.
She also has sought to position herself in a softer light in recent months.
