Boebert last remaining Republican from Epstein files rebellion
“Is anyone interested in running against Weak Minded Lauren Boebert in Colorado’s Fourth Congressional District?” Trump posted on Truth Social.
Yet, Trump’s tirade against Boebert likely comes too late to do any harm this cycle. The filing deadline for Colorado’s June 30 congressional primary was on March 18. Boebert is currently running for reelection unopposed, though a write-in candidate could still mount a run for either the primary or November general election. Such an effort would be costly and require immense organization, one of the reasons so few write-in campaigns have succeeded at the federal level.
Trump said on Wednesday that while he would “love” to see a challenge to Boebert, it was likely too late. That doesn’t mean, however, that Trump is likely to forget.
The president targeted Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-LA) for defeat in Louisiana this year as payback for a five-year-old impeachment vote over the Jan. 6 riot. Cassidy then lost his primary on Saturday to a Trump-backed challenger.

“His disloyalty to the man who got him elected is now a part of legend, and it’s nice to see that his political career is OVER,” Trump posted on Truth Social in response to Cassidy’s ouster.
Despite Trump’s kingmaker status within the GOP, Boebert is signaling she’s unbothered. The Colorado Republican told the Washington Examiner she was not concerned about her future in the House, adding that she is “not alone” in pushing for transparency on the Epstein issue.
