Colorado Ex-Governor Hickenlooper may drop presidential bid for Senate race: report
- Former Colorado Governor John Hickenlooper is considering ending his bid for the Democratic party’s presidential nomination in order to run for his state’s U.S. Senate seat, the New York Times reported on Tuesday, citing four Democrats familiar with his thinking.
Democrats need to pick up three seats in the Senate in 2020 to take control from Republicans, and many in the party have pinned their hopes on Colorado, a state that does not lean heavily toward one party or the other. Republican President Donald Trump is unpopular in the state, and Hickenlooper’s high ratings could propel him into the Senate seat if he does run.
Word that Hickenlooper was considering switching to the Senate race came just a few weeks before the Democratic Party’s scheduled September debate among candidates seeking the presidential nomination.
