GOP Rep. Lauren Boebert is holding a slim lead in her bid for reelection in Colorado as Republicans reckon with bleaker-than-expected results in the midterms.

Boebert is facing off in Colorado's 3rd Congressional District against Democrat Adam Frisch, a businessman and former city councilman.

According to election results from the state as of 12:25 p.m. ET, Boebert holds a 386-vote lead over Frisch. Boebert has 157,743 votes, or 50.06%, as opposed to Frisch's 157,357 votes, or 49.94%.

If the two candidates finish with a lead of less than 0.5% of the total vote, it would trigger an automatic recount under state law, per The Colorado Sun. The outlet noted that other factors could affect the outcome in such a tight race, including military and overseas votes still in the postal system, or pending decisions on the eligibility of individual ballots.

Boebert — who had predicted a "red wave" on Election Day — hadn't spoken since results started trickling in. On Thursday she tweeted "Jesus is Lord" and shared a meme poking fun at the election process. By contrast, Frisch has tweeted multiple times since polls closed, including a post on Wednesday night urging Coloradans to fix errors on their ballots if needed so their vote will count.

Voters first elected Boebert in 2020. The representative from Rifle, Colorado, has used her position to be a thorn in the Democratic Party's side. Since taking public office, she's denied the 2020 presidential election results, interrupted President Joe Biden's State of the Union speech, and denigrated a Democratic member of Congress over their religion.

Two years later, her antics may have cost her a job, as she's close to joining the ranks of Rep. Madison Cawthorn as one of the few members of Congress to get elected in 2020, but lose their bid for reelection after only one term in office.
