In a surprising turn of events, Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser has defeated sitting Senator Michael Bennet in the Democratic primary for governor. With approximately 90% of the votes counted, Weiser secured 56% while Bennet received 44%. This marks a significant victory for Weiser, who has previously been recognized for his outspoken opposition to Trump and his progressive stance on various issues. The result reflects a broader trend within the Democratic Party as more progressive candidates gain traction. As the Democratic Party rallies behind Weiser, the race draws attention to the differing political landscapes and voter sentiments across Colorado, especially in rural areas.
