CNN projected Democrat Eileen Laubacher to defeat Rep. Lauren Boebert in Colorado’s 4th District, prompting Hillary Clinton to post a dismissive message on social media.
CNN's Decision Desk projected on Monday that Democrat Eileen Laubacher is set to defeat Republican Rep. Lauren Boebert in Colorado's 4th Congressional District. The vote count remains ongoing and the result has not yet been certified.
Following the projection, Hillary Clinton posted a short remark on social media, writing, "Bye, Felicia," a reference to the 1995 film Friday.
The two politicians have a history of public disputes, including a February House Oversight Committee deposition in which Boebert photographed Clinton and shared the image with a MAGA podcaster. Clinton reportedly threatened to leave the deposition, and Boebert later responded to reporters that she shared the photo, "Why not?" The incident underscored the hostility Boebert has faced from establishment figures.
Boebert has also raised questions about the debunked "Pizzagate" conspiracy theory during the same hearing. Earlier in the year, she briefly broke with President Donald Trump after joining a bipartisan effort to unseal Jeffrey Epstein case files, though Trump later reaffirmed his endorsement of Boebert shortly before the midterm elections.
