一位温和派民主党人在其最后一场竞选活动中，在科罗拉多州击退了一名进步派挑战者，这给民主党快速向极左方向演变的势头带来了一个小小的挫折。
科罗拉多州联邦参议员约翰·希肯卢珀是科罗拉多州政坛的长期资深人士，他击败了进步派挑战者、州参议员朱莉·冈萨雷斯。冈萨雷斯此前主张，民主党应更积极地反击唐纳德·特朗普总统的政策。
希肯卢珀目前正在竞选参议员连任，他表示这将是他最后一次竞选参议员职位。冈萨雷斯希望通过攻击这位温和派议员的立场以及其支持特朗普部分提名人选的投票记录，加速希肯卢珀的卸任。

“约翰·希肯卢珀已经任职超过20年，”冈萨雷斯在她的竞选启动广告中说道，“我知道我们不会被他所谓的‘常识性做法’蒙蔽，因为投票支持唐纳德·特朗普的提名人选毫无道理可言。”
尽管如此，冈萨雷斯周二晚间的失利，还是让在本次中期选举周期中席卷民主党的进步派浪潮遭遇了一次挫折。在此期间，渴望变革的政坛新人一直在挑战华盛顿的老牌政客和政党领导层。
现年74岁的希肯卢珀曾两度担任丹佛市长、两度担任科罗拉多州州长，之后曾尝试竞选总统但失败，他一直是科罗拉多州政坛的中流砥柱。而43岁的冈萨雷斯则将自己定位为新一波进步派力量的一员。

就在他们争夺民主党提名的战斗打响一周前，纽约市市长佐赫兰·曼达尼支持的三名进步派候选人拿下了民主党提名。值得注意的是，曼达尼支持的社区组织者、社会主义者达里亚利扎·阿维拉·谢瓦利尔击败了任职五届的现任议员、纽约州民主党人阿德里亚诺·埃斯派利亚特。
而希肯卢珀与冈萨雷斯之间的斗争，并非科罗拉多州唯一一场温和派在任议员与进步派挑战者之间的党内内斗。

社会主义者梅拉特·基罗斯正在科罗拉多州第一国会选区挑战任职多年的众议员戴安娜·德盖特。基罗斯还获得了希肯卢珀的一位同事、佛蒙特州独立党参议员伯尼·桑德斯的背书。
与此同时，希肯卢珀将在11月与州参议员马克·贝利斯对决。贝利斯在科罗拉多州共和党初选中无对手胜出，他最初曾参选州长，以接替任期将满的州长贾里德·波利斯，但后来退出州长竞选转而参选参议员。

A moderate Democrat mounting his last campaign staved off a progressive challenger in Colorado, marking a small speed bump in the rapid far-left evolution of the Democratic Party.
Sen. John Hickenlooper, D-Colo., a longtime fixture in Colorado politics, overcame a challenge from state Sen. Julie Gonzales, his progressive challenger, who has argued that Democrats need to be more aggressive in their pushback against President Donald Trump.
Hickenlooper, who is vying for a second term in the upper chamber, said this would be his final campaign for the Senate. Gonzales hoped to speed up his exit with a campaign that went after the lawmaker’s moderate position and votes in favor of some of Trump’s nominees.

“John Hickenlooper has been in office for over 20 years,” Gonzales said in her campaign launch ad. “I know that we’re not fooled by his so-called ‘commonsense approach,’ cause there is no sense in voting for Donald Trump’s nominees.”
Still, Gonzales’ defeat Tuesday night was a stumble for the progressive wave that has swept the Democratic Party during this midterm election cycle, which has seen new blood hungry for change challenging the old guard and party leadership in Washington, D.C.
Hickenlooper, 74, who served two terms each as Denver’s mayor and Colorado’s governor before launching a failed bid for president, has been a stalwart fixture in the Centennial State, while Gonzales, 43, positioned herself as part of the new wave.

Their battle for the Democratic nomination came just a week after a trio of progressive candidates backed by New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani clinched their Democratic nominations. Notably, Mamdani-backed Darializa Avila Chevalier, a community organizer and socialist, toppled five-term incumbent Rep. Adriano Espaillat, D-N.Y.
And the battle between Hickenlooper and Gonzales was not the only intraparty fist fight between a moderate incumbent and progressive in Colorado.

Melat Kiros, a socialist, is squaring off against longtime Rep. Diana DeGette in Colorado’s 1st Congressional District. Kiros also sported the endorsement of one of Hickenlooper’s colleagues: Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt.
Meanwhile, Hickenlooper will now face state Sen. Mark Baisley in November. Baisley, who ran unopposed in the Colorado GOP primary, initially launched a campaign for governor in the race to replace term-limited Gov. Jared Polis but dropped out of the contest to run for the Senate.
