Lauren Boebert may have moved districts, but it doesn’t look like she’s going anywhere when it comes to Congress.

Boebert coasted to a primary victory on Tuesday, setting up an all-but-certain third term in Congress. Boebert moved from her current congressional district, where she narrowly won reelection in 2022 by 546 votes, to a new district that went for Donald Trump by 18% in 2020.

Despite allegations of carpetbagging — Boebert moved to the district in December — the controversial congresswoman fended off the five other Republicans in the primary to be declared the victor shortly after polls closed Tuesday night, according to NBC and Decision Desk HQ.
