Republican Rep. Lauren Boebert looks set to lose her Colorado House seat to Democrat Eileen Laubacher, a retired Navy rear admiral, and CNN is calling the race.
With 98 percent of ballots counted as of Monday afternoon, Laubacher led 48.8 percent to 47.9 percent. Laubacher spent 34 years in the Navy before joining the Biden administration's National Security Council.
The call came about a week after midterms that handed Democrats control of the House and Senate. Senate races in Alaska and Mississippi are still uncalled.
