科罗拉多州总检察长菲尔·韦瑟周二在科罗拉多州民主党州长初选中击败了联邦参议员迈克尔·本尼特（民主党，科罗拉多州），阻断了本尼特从参议院转战州长府的尝试，也让韦瑟成为接替任期已满的民主党州长贾里德·波利斯的热门人选。
韦瑟击败三届联邦参议员、2020年总统竞选候选人本尼特的结果，成为今年最受关注的民主党初选之一的重大爆冷事件。民主党提名的候选人在11月的选举中被看好，该州近期的全州选举均由民主党占据主导。
这一结果还意味着本尼特预计将继续留在参议院，避免了如果他在11月当选州长后出现的重大席位空缺争夺战。

“菲尔毕生致力于法律、正义和公共服务，”韦瑟的竞选网站写道。“作为州长，他将继续推进法治，保护我们的民主，并促进所有人的正义。菲尔·韦瑟将继续捍卫和保护全州每一位科罗拉多州民众。”
本次初选对决的是科罗拉多州两位知名民主党人：三届联邦参议员、2020年总统竞选候选人本尼特，以及该州两届任期的总检察长韦瑟。
民主党人波利斯在担任州长八年后，因任期限制无法寻求连任。

本尼特在初选期间获得了科罗拉多州民主党领导层的大力支持，其竞选团队列出了超过200位科罗拉多州领导人的背书，包括联邦参议员约翰·希肯卢珀（民主党，科罗拉多州）、联邦众议员乔·内古塞（民主党，科罗拉多州）、杰森·克劳（民主党，科罗拉多州）和布列塔尼·佩特森（民主党，科罗拉多州），以及州议会领导层和劳工团体。
而韦瑟的竞选团队则获得了前科罗拉多州州长罗伊·罗默、前联邦众议员埃德·珀尔马特、前丹佛市长费德里科·佩尼亚、前联邦参议员蒂姆·沃思，以及众多地方官员、州议员和进步组织的支持。
本尼特在竞选期间辩称，作为州长，他可以更有效地对抗特朗普并推进政策议程，而韦瑟则依托其担任科罗拉多州总检察长的经历和法律背景展开竞选造势。

Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser defeated Sen. Michael Bennet, D-Colo., in Colorado’s Democratic primary for governor Tuesday, blocking Bennet’s attempted move from the Senate to the governor’s residence and putting Weiser in position as the favorite to replace term-limited Democratic Gov. Jared Polis.
Weiser’s win over Bennet, a three-term senator and former 2020 presidential candidate, marked a major upset in one of the most closely watched Democratic primaries of the year. The winner of the Democratic nomination is favored in November in a state where Democrats have dominated recent statewide elections.
The result also means Bennet is expected to remain in the Senate, avoiding what would have been a major vacancy fight had he won the governorship in November.
COLORADO DEPUTY COULD FACE MASSIVE FINE FOR SHARING INFORMATION WITH IMMIGRATION AUTHORITIES
“Phil has dedicated his life to the law, justice, and public service,” says Weiser’s campaign website. “As your Governor he will continue to advance the rule of law, protect our democracy, and promote justice for all. Phil Weiser will continue to defend and protect every Coloradan across the state.”

The primary battle pitted two high-profile Colorado Democrats against each other — Bennet, a three-term senator and former 2020 presidential candidate, and Weiser, the state’s two-term attorney general.
Polis, a Democrat, is barred by term limits from seeking another term after eight years in office.

Bennet entered the primary with support from much of Colorado’s Democratic establishment, with his campaign listing endorsements from more than 200 Colorado leaders, including Sen. John Hickenlooper, D-Colo., Reps. Joe Neguse, D-Colo., Jason Crow, D-Colo., and Brittany Pettersen, D-Colo., along with state legislative leaders and labor groups.

Weiser’s campaign, meanwhile, touted support from former Colorado Gov. Roy Romer, former Rep. Ed Perlmutter, former Denver Mayor Federico Peña, former Sen. Tim Wirth and a long list of local officials, state lawmakers and progressive organizations.
Bennet argued during the race that he could be more effective fighting Trump and advancing policy as governor, while Weiser leaned on his experience as Colorado’s attorney general and his legal background as he made the case for his own campaign.

Whether Kirkmeyer or one of her trailing opponents, Victor Marx or Scott Bottoms, the GOP nominee faces an uphill battle against Weiser in November.
