NEW: Sen. @MichaelBennet (D) says he was surprised by his 12-pt margin of victory over @ODeaForColorado (R). Bennet told me he expected an 8-pt win. He pointed to Democrats closing the gap in populous red counties like Douglas and El Paso. #cosen #copolitics
If Bennet serves his entire third full term, he will become the longest serving US Senator from Colorado in a century. But Bennet said he has no desire to grow old in the Senate, as some of his colleagues have done.
Bennet said both he and Gov @jaredpolis (D) could be in the presidential conversation if Biden chooses not to run in 2024. "I think both of us could be in that conversation," Bennet said. "Because Colorado is such an interesting state politically for the country."
Bennet said Polis "has done an incredible job as Governor and he ran a great race for re-election." Bennet added, "I feel like I've done a good job and I feel like we ran a really good race so it'll be interesting to see what that discussion looks like."
We'll have my conversation with Senator Bennet about his landslide win, his future in the Senate, and the 2024 presidential race tonight on @nexton9news.
