Colorado Democrats nominate attorney general for governor, reject senator

Colorado Democrats rejected a sitting U.S. senator's bid for governor and instead nominated the state's attorney general. The attorney general defeated the senator after highlighting his record of legal action against the current administration. The two candidates had few stated policy differences.

Denver congressional primary In a Denver congressional district, an incumbent representative trailed an attorney who received support from the Democratic Socialists of America. The challenger had previously been dismissed from her law firm after representing participants in Gaza-related protests.
