Phil Weiser Upsets Michael Bennet to Win Colorado Democratic Gubernatorial Primary
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.
