Democrats see path to a full Colorado congressional flip in 2026

National Democrats now believe they could flip all four GOP-held Colorado seats in 2026, with the DCCC designating the 3rd and 4th districts as 'in play' and signaling potential involvement in districts 5 and 8 as well; Dems already hold the 1st, 2nd, 6th and 7th. The shift comes from a favorable national environment and district-level signals that Hurd and Boebert could be vulnerable: a 3rd District poll shows a near-tied race for Hurd against Romero, while in the 4th District Laubacher leads in fundraising against Boebert. If Republicans must spend to defend these seats, it could free up resources elsewhere, making a broader Colorado flip more plausible.
