The Democrat concedes Rep. Lauren Boebert

Democratic challenger Adam Frisch has conceded in the election campaign for Colorado’s 3rd congressional district against Republican Rep. Lauren Boebert.

Unofficially Results show that Boebert leads by more than 327,000 votes by just over 550 votes. If the vote difference for the top two candidates is less than or equal to 0.5% of the vote count for the leading candidate, an automatic state recount is required Associated Press refrains from announcing the contest until the results of the expected recount are announced.

Fresh said on Friday that the chance the recount will change more than a small number of votes is slim and that he has already spoken to Boebert to admit the contest. “Elections in Colorado are safe, accurate, and secure,” he said.

“Adam Frisch called me to collect this race,” said Boebert tweeted on Friday. “I look forward to getting through the election season and focusing on Conservative governance in the majority of the House of Representatives. Time to get to work!” Boebert did served since 2021 in the US House of Representatives.

Republicans won the House majority in the 2022 midterm elections, meaning they will control the chamber through the 118th Congress.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who is the only woman to ever serve as Speaker of the House, announced Thursday that she will not seek re-election to the Democratic leadership, though she will remain in office as a member of Congress — Pelosi who did this served as legislator for more than three decades, won another term in the 2022 election.

“The Pelosi era is over. Happy liberation!” bobert tweeted on Thursday.

California Rep. Kevin McCarthy, the current House Minority Leader, won the GOP nomination for Speaker of the House during the 118th Congress – the vote was reportedly 188-31. To officially win the Speakership, McCarthy must win a majority in a vote in the House of Representatives in January.
