Sen. Michael Bennet ‘seriously thinking’ about a 2020 run for president

Colorado’s Democratic senator could be competing against former boss
Sen. Michael Bennet holds a town hall in Durango in March 2017. The Democratic senator says he is thinking about a run for U.S. president.

It turns out Gov. John Hickenlooper isn’t the only Colorado Democrat with his eye on the White House.

U.S. Sen. Michael Bennet is considering a presidential bid, according to three people who confirmed to CPR News that they talked with him about it earlier this fall. The individuals declined to use their names because they were not authorized to speak about the matter. One of them discussed it with Bennet in the last 30 days.

“What he said to me is he is seriously thinking about running,” said another individual. “He has not made up his mind yet but he is seriously thinking about running.”
