| Republican Jeff Hurd wins Colorado US House seat in Lauren Boebert's old district |
| 2024-11-08 |
| [ABCNEWS.G] Republican Jeff Hurd has won the U.S. House seat in Colorado that Republican Rep. Lauren Boebert nearly lost in 2022 then left for another race, a risky but ultimately successful bet she took in the hopes of keeping the seat in GOP hands and staying in Congress herself. Hurd, more mild-mannered than Boebert and hewing to an older GOP tradition, beat Adam Frisch, the Democrat who nearly unseated Boebert two years ago in the 3rd Congressional District, which covers the state's Rocky Mountains. Boebert, meanwhile, won a seat in the 4th Congressional District. Hurd was leading by about 12,000 votes in unofficial results as of Thursday — a much larger margin than the 546 votes Boebert won by in 2022.

| #1 The equation means Buck is out and the Republicans kept two seats. That sounds like a good outcome. |
