Progressive challenge affects Colorado primaries
Colorado's primary features a surge of progressive challengers threatening long-standing Democratic incumbents, including contests for congressional and statewide offices. Notably, a new candidate is challenging 15-term Representative Diana DeGette, while Senate races involve incumbent John Hickenlooper facing a progressive opponent, and a race for governor is tightening between Senator Michael Bennet and Attorney General Phil Weiser. The elections reflect a broader anti-incumbent and populist trend within the Democratic primaries, with candidates backed by progressive figures like Bernie Sanders gaining momentum.
