Hickenlooper cracks door open to challenging Cory Gardner [View all]

The Gazette

Former Gov. John Hickenlooper has left the door open a crack to running against Republican U.S. Sen. Cory Gardner, even while insisting he's fully committed to pursuing the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination.

In an interview Sunday on satellite radio, Hickenlooper said he would "be a fool" to continue running for president if his standing in the polls doesn't improve.

"I've never ruled out anything," he told SiriusXM's Chris Frates — a former Denver Post reporter — when the Politics Inside Out host pressed him on a Senate bid. But the Democrat insisted his attention is "still 100% right now focused on being president."
If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
