Colorado Congresswoman Lauren Boebert told reporters on Capitol Hill Monday night that losing her re-election bid could be "almost liberating," while simultaneously insisting that the outcome remains uncertain. With thousands of military and overseas ballots still uncounted, Boebert refused to concede, noting that the final tally has not yet been determined.
In an interview with Jacob, the Colorado representative acknowledged that life outside Washington might hold appeal if she departs Congress. She even offered a wry remark regarding her colleagues who secured their own races, stating she wanted to "offer condolences" to some of them.
Despite these comments, Boebert emphasized that the election is not over. She pointed to the significant volume of ballots still being processed, including military and overseas votes that have yet to be tallied. She indicated that if these remaining votes alter the result, she will accept the outcome, but until then, she maintains that "the fat lady ain't sung yet."
When asked about her future plans in the event of a loss, Boebert mentioned that her next steps involve Haley Stevens.
