Weiser edges Bennet in Colorado governor primary, eyes Polis’s seat

Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser won the Democratic gubernatorial primary, defeating Sen. Michael Bennet by about 10 points as anti-establishment sentiment and opposition to Donald Trump shaped the race. Weiser will advance to the general election to succeed term-limited Gov. Jared Polis, in a state that has not elected a Republican governor in over two decades. The contest emphasized anti-Trump messaging, with Weiser highlighting Bennet’s votes on Trump nominees and Bennet criticizing Weiser’s record as attorney general and leadership in taking on the Trump administration.

Michael Bennet pitched bold climate and housing plans (including a cap‑and‑invest system) while Attorney General Phil Weiser framed a more pragmatic alternative—expanding solar capacity and granting local governments more input on housing. The candidates sparred over climate scope, healthcare expansion, and Bennet's voting record, but offered few specifics on funding and neither pledged clear criteria for a running mate.
