Incumbent Hickenlooper wins Democratic nomination for Senate in Colorado

Sen. John Hickenlooper won the Colorado Democratic Senate primary, defeating progressive challenger state Sen. Julie Gonzales. NBC News and the Associated Press reported Hickenlooper's victory, with the latter noting he received 57.3% of the vote. Gonzales had argued for a new generation of leadership, but the former governor and Denver mayor maintained his winning streak in Colorado politics. This victory eases Hickenlooper's path toward securing a second term in the United States Senate.
