Rep. Chris Pappas (D-N.H.) has triumphed over Karoline Leavitt, the Republican who was seeking to become the youngest American to be elected to U.S. Congress since 1797, in the race to represent New Hampshire’s 1st Congressional District.

Pappas, 52, will serve another term representing the district after receiving 54 percent of the vote, according to the Associated Press, which called the race along with DecisionDeskHQ. With about 80 percent of precincts reporting, Leavitt had 46 percent.
