Congratulations to our presumptive Democratic nominee, Joe Biden!
Hickenlooper still fundraising, despite reports he may drop presidential bid
Former Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper sent out a fundraising email for his presidential campaign despite reports that he is weighing an end to his bid for the White House in order to run for a GOP-held Senate seat.
In campaign emails and on the trail, Hickenlooper has not let on that he is considering dropping his presidential aspirations and challenging Republican Sen. Cory Gardner of Colorado in 2020, a key target of Senate Democrats in their bid to regain a chamber majority.
He is not on pace to reach the 130,000-donor benchmark to qualify for the next presidential debates in Houston on Sept. 12 and 13, and his previous debate performances have not appeared to boost his polling numbers significantly.
Colorado Democrats in recent days have been publicly lobbying Hickenlooper to end his presidential campaign and challenge Gardner in the Senate race, where he would be the immediate front-runner in a Democratic primary field already 12 candidates deep.
