CNN projected that Rep. Lauren Boebert has lost her Colorado 4th District reelection bid to Democrat Eileen Laubacher, a Navy veteran who ran on affordability in a race that stayed razor-thin for days.
CNN projecting that Democrat Eileen Laubacher will win Colorados Fourth Congressional District, unseating Republican incumbent and reliable Trump ally Lauren Boebert, anchor Brianna Keilar said on air, noting Boeberts move into the deeper-red seat last cycle. Keilar added that the win grows the Democratic House majority to 256 seats, while Boeberts campaign has not conceded and is still scrutinizing the count.
Late last week attorney Scott Gessler said a significant number of votes remain outstanding and that returns had been trending in Congresswoman Boeberts direction, consistently narrowing the margin under one percentage point. We are investigating some very unusual voting patterns and expect this election to head to a recount, one way or another, Gessler said, insisting every legal vote must be counted accurately, fully, and transparently.
Local anchor Kyle Clark noted Laubachers lead of 2,927 votes was still well outside Colorados automatic recount threshold of 921, though a campaign can pay for a recount beyond that margin. Boebert told Clark she is a mom, a granny, and a believer, insisting the race doesnt define me and that she will keep moving faith to faith, glory to glory.
