Weiser Upends Bennet in Colorado | Denver News

Phil Weiser pulled off a stunning upset in Colorado’s Democratic primary, defeating Senator Michael Bennet by more than 13 points — a “shellacking” according to political scientist Kyle Saunders. Despite Bennet’s name recognition, big endorsements, and millions in outside money, voters like Stephanie Lang chose Weiser for his personal commitment to protecting their rights and his authentic, grassroots approach. In a broader wave of Democratic discontent with incumbents, Denver voters also ousted a longtime Rep. for a younger progressive. Weiser’s campaign thrived on human connection, with volunteers praising his ability to make people feel heard — a stark contrast to Bennet’s traditional tactics. Now, Weiser heads into the general election as the heavy favorite against the GOP nominee in Colorado.
