(COLORADO SPRINGS) — An Alabama congressman believes that President-elect Donald Trump will move Space Command out of Colorado Springs, according to a new report by the Washington Examiner.

Trump originally moved Space Command to Huntsville, Alabama in the final days of his first term, while President Joe Biden chose for Space Command to remain at Peterson Space Force Base.

According to the Washington Examiner, Rep. Mike Rogers (R-AL) said on a radio show that, “Trump would settle the dispute as one of his first moves in office.” Rogers further explained that the President-elect would sign an executive order to reverse Biden’s directive and move it to Huntsville.

FOX21 News reached out to Colorado Springs Mayor Yemi Mobolade, who released the following statement.

I’d like to congratulate President-elect Trump on his winning campaign. We look forward to engaging with the new administration and transition team and are eager to share the great things underway in Colorado Springs, especially our city’s strong history and contributions to national security. We are the proud home of five military installations and have been home to U.S. Space Command since its birth under President Trump in 2019. Since that time, the command has grown from 100 to 1,200 jobs, and in December 2023, it reached full operational capability. Its efforts and excellence are bolstered by the more than 150 aerospace and defense companies in our city, our highly skilled workforce and leading technology and resources. This robust ecosystem is a key factor in the early success of USSPACECOM, and we are committed to working together to support its mission to defend our great nation.

Sen. Michael Bennet (D-CO) took to social media on Tuesday morning, Nov. 12, writing in part, “Colorado is the rightful home for Space Command. No matter who is in the White House, I will keep fighting for Colorado’s military community.” He continued by writing, “Our state’s space and military assets are critical to America’s national security, and Colorado is the best place for our service members and their families to train, live, work, and retire.”

FOX21 reached out to U.S. Rep. Doug Lamborn (R-CO) and Rep.-elect Jeff Crank (R-CO) for Colorado’s 5th Congressional District for reaction. We will update this article once we receive those statements.
