The race between MAGA Republican Lauren Boebert and Democratic challenger Adam Frisch is likely headed to an automatic recount as the election in Colorado’s 3rd Congressional District remains too close to call.
With 99 per cent of votes now counted, the right-wing extremist is leading by just 551 votes or 0.16 percentage points.
An automatic recount is triggered if neither candidate has enough votes to win by a margin of more than 0.5 per cent. A recount must be completed by 13 December.
While her own future in politics still hangs in the balance, Ms Boebert still took the opportunity to celebrate the news that Nancy Pelosi is stepping down as leader of the House Democratic Caucus.
Ms Pelosi delivered the announcement on the House floor on Thursday, after spending 20 years in the role.
Following the news, Donald Trump ally Ms Boebert tweeted: “The Pelosi era is over. Good riddance!”
