"We don't have any results yet, so"
@ReedReports asked Rep. Boebert (R-CO) about accepting the results of her race, which some outlets have called for her opponent Eileen Laubacher
AP has it at 98% reporting with Boebert down by nearly a point
Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) is still not conceding her race, but tells me @scrippsnews that if results are certified showing she lost, she will NOT run again in 2028. #copolitics
Tonight's House vote will be on whether to refer Rep. Thomas Massie's impeachment articles targeting Secretary Hegseth to the House Judiciary Committee.
Judiciary is chaired by Rep. Jim Jordan, who was elected today as the incoming House Minority Leader for the 120th Congress.

NEW: Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH), the incoming House Minority Leader, won’t say whether his new role includes defending Pres. Trump, when asked by @scrippsnews.
Jordan says his focus is getting Republicans “back to the Majority” and doing “what's good for American families.” WATCH:
BREAKING: Senate Republican Leader John Thune (R-SD) has been re-elected to another term by acclimation.
He will serve as Minority Leader beginning when the 120th Congress begins in January.

CONFIRMED: A Senate GOP Conference vote to delay leadership elections has FAILED 31-15.
This paves the way for Sen. Majority Leader Thune to be re-elected as GOP’s Senate Minority Leader
As House Republicans are set to vote to choose their Minority Leader (Rep. Steve Scalise or Rep. Jim Jordan), Speaker Johnson tells me @scrippsnews he's supporting "All of them. They're great people."
NEW: Speaker Mike Johnson tells @scrippsnews tonight's GOP-led attempt to stop an impeachment of Secretary of War (Defense) Pete Hegseth is "not gonna fail."
JOHNSON: "We have the votes. We'll dispense with the impeachment gambit."
WATCH:
Vibe outside the House GOP Conference meeting:
Asked outgoing Ways and Means Chair Jason Smith (R-MO) who he’s supporting for GOP Leader: “Wouldn’t you like to know!”

As we wait for Hegseth's first press briefing since May, a security official came out to warn that anyone who doesn't act with decorum & professionalism would be forcibly removed. He repeatedly declined to explain what he meant by that or what policy he was relying on.

“I’m sorry that the voters made the wrong choice”
Asked Speaker Johnson if Trump should course correct after last week’s sweeping losses:
“I’m not going to tell the president how to do his job,” he told me. “I’m sorry that the voters made the wrong choice. I really do believe that this next two years is going to be a bit of a circus. It’s going to be chaos …. and that’s a great tragedy.”
Republicans, he said, would have “stayed on course.”
Fmr. Rep Mary Peltola’s lead in the Alaska Senate race has grown to 2,517 votes, with 401 out of 403 precincts reporting statewide, according to latest # from the state.
With no candidate securing a simple majority of the vote, it appears like it is still headed to rank choice.
