It wasn't a great midterm election season for Trump-backed candidates, but one of the man's most vocal supporters came out of it okay:
Democrat Adam Frisch conceded on Friday to Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) in the race for Colorado's 3rd Congressional District, saying that an expected recount was unlikely to change the outcome of the election.
In a video call with reporters, Frisch said that he had called Boebert to offer his concession. He said that while the race appeared to be headed for a mandatory recount, "the likelihood of this recount changing more than a handful of votes is very small."
"We are not asking for this recount. It is one that the citizens of Colorado mandate through our election system," he said, telling supporters not to donate to his campaign for the recount effort.
"Please save your money for your groceries, your rent, your children," he said.
You got to hand it to the man:
Love Boebert or hate her, one thing you can't deny: It's not a good sign for Trump that one of his most devoted and ardent champions barely squeaked by in her re-election bid.
In 2020, she beat her Democratic challenger by more than six percentage points; this year she appears to have won by 0.2%.
