Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser won the Democratic primary for governor on Tuesday, defeating U.S. Sen. Michael Bennet. AP projects Weiser as the winner in the race to become the Democratic nominee.
NBC News projects the same outcome in Tuesday's primary. The primary selected the nominee to replace term-limited Gov. Jared Polis, Fox News reported. A Democrat has held the governor's office in Colorado for the past 20 years.
The nominees will face each other in the November general election on Nov. 3. " Bennet addressed supporters Tuesday night and said the state needed to "come together" despite the primary contest. "We have had our disagreements.
That's obvious to anybody who's been watching this race, and ... and no doubt we will have healthy disagreements in the future -- but we agree on what the problems are," Bennet said.
