Rep. Lauren Boebert’s Reelection Faces Inconvenient Stumble

Some distance-right Rep. Lauren Boebert’s (R-Colo.) reelection within the 2022 midterms remained doubtful into Wednesday.

However with 88% of the votes counted, Boebert had 49.1%, trailing former Aspen Town Council member Frisch, who had 50.9%. Polling used to be nonetheless leaning towards a Boebert victory since the uncounted votes have been from historically GOP-aligned spaces.

Boebert seemed assured previous within the night time, tweeting “The purple wave has begun!” She went quiet after that.

Boebert’s fellow radical GOP firebrands Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) and Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) each received reelection to their seats.
