Boebert Wins Colorado House Race
Republican Representative Lauren Boebert has won re-election to the U.S. House of Representatives in Colorado's 3rd District.
Boebert, a staunch supporter of former President Donald Trump, defeated Democratic challenger Trisha Calvarese.
The race was called by the Associated Press early Thursday morning with Boebert leading Calvarese by a margin of 58% to 42%.
Boebert's victory is a setback for Democrats, who had hoped to flip the seat in their favor. The 3rd District is one of the most conservative in the country and has been held by Republicans for decades.
Boebert's win is also a sign of the continued strength of Trump's influence within the Republican Party. Boebert has been a vocal supporter of Trump and has frequently echoed his false claims that the 2020 election was stolen.
