Boebert’s Rival Concedes in Incredibly Tight Colorado House Race

Democrat Adam Frisch has conceded to Republican Rep. Lauren Boebert (CO) in a nail-biter of a congressional race, with a margin of just 550 votes separating the two. “The voters have spoken. And while we showed great progress, I remain down by a few hundred votes,” Frisch said at a press conference. “I just got off the phone with Rep. Boebert. I called her to formally concede this election.” The MAGA-loving firebrand conveyed to her over 1.7 million Twitter followers that she was the victor Thursday night—even before Frisch’s concession—and as the race heads to an automatic recount. “We won! I am so thankful for all of your support, and I am so proud to be your Representative!” Boebert tweeted. “Come January, you can be certain of two things,” she added in an a video with the Capitol building serving as a backdrop. “I will be sworn in for my second term as your congresswoman, and Republicans can finally turn Pelosi’s house back into the People’s House.” During Boebert’s first term in Congress, she was baffled by bricks at a construction site and had to shut down her diarrhea-inducing restaurant.
