Rep. Lauren Boebert loses seat to Democrat Eileen Laubacher, election awaits certification
Next story: CBS calls Colorado seat for former Republican Eileen Laubacher
The call has become a concession. After CBS News projected Eileen Laubacher would win Colorado's 4th Congressional District, Lauren Boebert posted a video admitting defeat and offering to transfer constituent services, CBS Colorado reports.
As we reported here, CBS had already called the race for the Democrat. This report adds Boebert's response: reporter Dillon Thomas says the Republican incumbent could have paid for a recount but conceded instead. The election still awaits certification.
The segment drew about 36,000 views in its first day, more than twenty times the channel's usual start for Shorts. It follows a reversal in a historically safe Republican district that Boebert moved to only two years earlier.
Laubacher, a retired Navy rear admiral, expresses gratitude to voters but quickly turns to grocery prices and childcare. "Just because this election has been called, it doesn't mean that people's lives have gotten better overnight," she says.
Alongside the political result, Thomas explains the remaining ballot deadlines. Weld County Clerk and Recorder Carly Koppes describes the auditing of counting machines and offers voters a direct assurance: "Your vote was counted exactly how it should have been."
