Barring any surprises in Colorado, Boebert will likely face off against Adam Frisch, a local businessman and local politician, this fall. Still to come are results for incumbents Rep. Mary Miller (IL-15), who is leading, and Sen. Mike Lee of Utah, where polls only just now closed.

The AP has projected that businessman Joe O’Dea will defeat state Rep. Ron Hanks in the GOP primary for Senate in Colorado. This result will help Republicans keep the Centennial State potentially in play come November if the environment is friendly enough for them. Democrats spent millions trying to help Hanks in the knowledge that the state legislator might be too toxic to win even in an advantageous year for Republicans.
