GOP Rep. Lauren Boebert is trailing 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.

Data from Insider's elections partner Decision Desk HQ showed Boebert narrowly behind as of around 12 p.m. ET.

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.
