Lauren Boebert has joined calls for a delay to the Senate and House leadership votes as a number of races – including her own – remain too close to call.
On Sunday, the MAGA Republican retweeted posts calling for leadership elections to be postponed until all elections are called. Democrats have held onto control of the Senate while the House remains up for grabs, with 11 races not yet called.
One of those races is Ms Boebert’s fight against Democratic challenger Adam Frisch to hold onto her House seat in Colorado’s 3rd Congressional District.
As of Monday morning, Ms Boebert is leading by 1,122 votes, with 99 per cent of votes reported.
The tight race has caused something of an upset for the Republican party and the Donald Trump ally, as she had been expected a comfortable reelection to the seat she won back in 2020.
The race could be headed for an automatic recount if the victorious party fails to win by a margin of more than 0.5 per cent.
