Lauren Boebert posts farewell video after Colorado loss
The Independent reported that Rep. Lauren Boebert posted a farewell video on 14 November, citing her faith after her loss to Democrat Eileen Laubacher in Colorado’s 4th Congressional District. BBC and The Guardian noted that Boebert was defeated by Laubacher, a former Navy rear admiral, after a close race tallied by the Associated Press. Earlier, CBS News said Boebert trailed Laubacher as vote counting continued, and The Daily Beast said her campaign was reviewing ballot returns with Laubacher leading by less than one percentage point with over 97% counted.
CNN’s Decision Desk projected that Laubacher would win, a forecast later echoed by the outlet’s projection. The Daily Beast reported that former first lady Hillary Clinton reacted to the CNN projection with a brief comment on social media. MS NOW reported that Boebert had also been unseated in a GOP primary by former Navy officer Lauren Laubacher after switching districts.
