Rep Lauren Boebert projected to lose House seat in another Democratic flip

GOP firebrand Rep. Lauren Boebert, R-Colo., is projected to lose her seat in the House to Democratic challenger Eileen Laubacher.
The Associated Press made the call in the razor-thin race Friday afternoon in favor of Laubacher, who maintained her slim 48.7% lead over Boebert’s 47.9% once 99% of the ballots had been counted.
Libertarian candidate Douglas Mangeris came in third with a little more than 3% of the vote.
Laubacher is projected to win Colorado’s 4th Congressional District, according to the AP.
Boebert was running for her fourth term in the state. She served her first two seats in Colorado’s third district, and was running for her second term in the state’s fourth district.
The 39-year-old congresswoman’s loss comes amid a blue wave that saw Democrats flip seats in Republican strongholds like Texas, Kansas, South Carolina and Mississippi.
Democrats now have 256 seats in the House of Representatives to Republicans’ 169. A party needs 218 for a majority.
Several races nationwide remain uncalled nearly two weeks after Election Day.
