Michael Bennet and Attorney General Phil Weiser were never more than a few dozen feet from each other as they crisscrossed the Juneteenth parade route last weekend, stopping for selfies and shaking hands.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/modernhomejournals.com\/?p=703\">Democrats Brace For Their Gnarliest Presidential Primary in Decades<\/a><\/p>\n<p>That physical reality reflects their political one \u2014 an uncomfortably close fight to be the state\u2019s next governor.<\/p>\n<p>The race, one of the most expensive gubernatorial primaries in the state\u2019s history, is now serving up a midseason litmus test for how an incensed Democratic electorate is judging candidates who are defined less by their ideological differences than by their ability to fight President Donald Trump and their ties to a poisonous Washington brand. It could amount to a warning sign ahead of the 2028 Democratic presidential primary, when a slate of senators and governors are expected to run, all looking to tap into the base\u2019s fury.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s toxic to be from Washington right now,\u201d said Colorado state Rep. Javier Mabrey, who has endorsed Weiser. \u201cThere\u2019s a serious anti-Washington sentiment right now, and I do think Weiser is benefiting from that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Tuesday\u2019s primary didn\u2019t start this way. Bennet, who was first appointed to the Senate 16 years ago, froze out other potential candidates and led by 31 percentage points in an internal poll his campaign released last year. That gap has narrowed significantly in recent months, according to interviews with more than a dozen Democratic elected officials and strategists. Weiser \u201chas the momentum\u201d while \u201cBennet has the name ID\u201d and a spending advantage on TV, said one Colorado Democratic elected official, granted anonymity to discuss the race candidly.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEven though both of them are currently elected, Bennet is seen as the incumbent, which is a detriment this election cycle,\u201d they continued. \u201cI don\u2019t know who will ultimately win in this race, and it will be very close.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That anger ricocheted through New York this week, when a pair of Democratic incumbents <span><u>lost their primaries<\/u><\/span> to insurgent leftist candidates backed by New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani. Progressives have already notched major wins in Maine and California primaries. <span><u>Activists<\/u><\/span> are ready to declare the arrival of a left-wing Tea Party, as the Democratic Party\u2019s approval ratings remain historically low nearly two years into Trump\u2019s second term.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019d much rather be running from a state than from D.C.\u201d in the 2026 and 2028 primaries, said Morgan Jackson, a North Carolina-based strategist who has advised two attorneys general turned governors, as well as former Democratic Gov. Roy Cooper\u2019s bid for Senate. \u201cBeing a Democrat from Washington, right now, is not a good thing,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>The gubernatorial primary in Colorado doesn\u2019t fall neatly along the insider-verus-outsider lines that defined New York\u2019s primaries \u2014- even if Weiser is eager to cast the race that way.<\/p>\n<p>Weiser acknowledged in an interview with NOTUS that he \u201cimagined a race for governor where people looked at my campaign, and I looked like the more insider, even establishment, view,\u201d but \u201cas it turns out, running against Michael Bennet, just he and I, I end up looking like I am the anti-establishment outsider.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Indeed, no leftist candidate emerged in Colorado to challenge Bennet or Weiser, much to the frustration of some progressives. They pointed to 29-year-old activist Melat Kiros\u2019 serious challenge to Rep. Diana DeGette for a Denver-based House seat as clear evidence there was a missed opportunity in the governor\u2019s race. The state\u2019s blue hue practically guarantees that whoever emerges from the June 30 primary will replace Democratic Gov. Jared Polis, who is increasingly seen as a pariah inside the party. Colorado Democrats <span><u>voted to censure<\/u><\/span> Polis after he granted clemency to the election denier Tina Peters.<\/p>\n<p>But without a challenger from the left, Weiser, who was first elected statewide in 2018, has focused on casting himself as the best fighter against Trump.<\/p>\n<p>He\u2019s leaned aggressively on his record of suing the Trump administration, while arguing Bennet hasn\u2019t done enough inside the Senate. Weiser has also attacked the dark money spending on ads supporting Bennet. In his <span><u>first TV ad<\/u><\/span>, Weiser said it\u2019s \u201cmy job to defend Colorado from illegal actions, including Donald Trump\u2019s, especially since the politicians in Congress won\u2019t.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Weiser is particularly critical of Bennet\u2019s votes to approve a handful of Trump\u2019s Cabinet officials.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI still think people are underestimating the extent to which there is so much anger,\u201d Weiser said. \u201cWhen you\u2019re in Washington, you\u2019re not getting things done, and you\u2019re seen as complicit in some way. It is a tough brand.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/modernhomejournals.com\/?p=701\">Senate Democrats Press Hegseth on \u2018Forever Chemical\u2019 Cleanup Delays<\/a><\/p>\n<p>That frustration was palpable in conversations with voters attending Denver\u2019s Juneteenth parade. Michael Garvey, a 45-year-old who was volunteering with the Samba Colorado float, said he voted for Weiser because he champions lawsuits that \u201care directly related to issues that I care about, and that I see more action in that way,\u201d while Bennet has \u201cnot done enough\u201d to fight Trump. From the sidelines of the parade, a woman shouted to Bennet that he needed to \u201cstay in the Senate.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>And after shaking Weiser\u2019s hand along the parade route, Tai Beldock, a 62-year-old business owner, said she backed him because she doesn\u2019t \u201cwant the same old\u201d and \u201cfor the past 16 years, Bennet hasn\u2019t been in the trenches, so maybe he\u2019s lost touch.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Bennet\u2019s allies argue he\u2019s furious with the administration and congressional Republicans, and state Rep. Yara Zokaie, who has endorsed him, said he brings that \u201cfire over Trump\u201d into the governor\u2019s race. In a <span><u>viral video from 2019,<\/u><\/span> Bennet lambasted Texas Sen. Ted Cruz over his \u201ccrocodile tears\u201d during the government shutdown. That clip, tapping into the frustration within the Democratic base, helped launch his brief presidential campaign.<\/p>\n<p>That fire flared again when Bennet was asked in an interview about Weiser\u2019s attack over his confirmation votes for some Trump officials. Bennet\u2019s voice crescendoed as he defended those votes as necessary to protect Coloradans.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAt 7 a.m. on Wednesday mornings, I am on the phone with Donald Trump\u2019s Agriculture Secretary and Donald Trump\u2019s Interior Secretary to make sure that Colorado doesn\u2019t get left behind [during] the worst fire danger that we have had in the history of our state,\u201d Bennet told NOTUS. \u201cThat\u2019s my job \u2026 I do think people in Colorado understand that, but maybe they don\u2019t. We\u2019ll see.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Bennet said voting against Trump\u2019s nominees is the \u201ceasiest vote for Democrats,\u201d but he\u2019s \u201cspent my entire time in the Senate putting points on the board for Colorado.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Bennet called his decision to run for governor, rather than stay in a comfortable Senate seat, an \u201cinsurgent\u201d move, arguing he\u2019s \u201cnot going to mail it in when our state is in trouble.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He said he\u2019s also willing to take on his own party in Washington. In July 2024, for example, Bennet <span><u>was the first senator to publicly acknowledge<\/u><\/span> then-President Joe Biden wasn\u2019t capable of winning in November.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t think that I\u2019ve been somebody who\u2019s contributed to the stupidity of that place, or to the permanent games of shirts and skins,\u201d he said, \u201cbut I could see why somebody might, you know, wonder about that, or might ask questions about that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For at least one Coloradan who heard Bennet\u2019s pitch last week, that argument worked. Connie Paeglow, a 66-year-old voter, entered Bennet\u2019s meet and greet at a senior center in Denver as undecided in the primary. She left a Bennet supporter. \u201cI think he has the connections and experience, as a senator, to best know how to push back on the Trump administration,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>Zokaie, a progressive state legislator who\u2019s endorsed Bennet, acknowledged that \u201capproval for Washington is pretty darn low right now,\u201d and some Coloradans \u201cmight disagree with the senator\u2019s votes,\u201d but \u201cI don\u2019t see Weiser making the case that those decisions were bad or what he\u2019d do differently.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith Bennet, I sense an urgency and understanding that the Democratic Party has failed to be responsive,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>Bennet holds a significant spending advantage over Weiser, which several Democrats cited as a key reason he could prevail. The pro-Bennet super PAC, Rocky Mountain Way, and his campaign have dropped more than $10 million on ads \u2014 <span><u>nearly half of which came<\/u><\/span> from former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, a major Democratic donor. Weiser and his aligned super PAC have spent just under $5 million, according to ad-tracking firm AdImpact.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t think people are making a choice between two different ideologies or ideas, it\u2019s more \u2014 Phil is leaning into, \u2018I\u2019m taking on the establishment,\u2019 even though he\u2019s also the establishment, and voters have known Michael forever,\u201d said a Democratic strategist in Colorado who isn\u2019t working on the governor\u2019s race and was granted anonymity to discuss the primary candidly. \u201cI think Bennet still ultimately wins, but it shows how tying to D.C. is very powerful.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/modernhomejournals.com\/?p=699\">DOJ Must Release More Epstein Files by July 2, Judge Rules<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cSerious anti-Washington sentiment\u201d could cost Sen.
