Former Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper (D) has defeated incumbent Republican Sen. Cory Gardner in Colorado’s Senate race, according to projections by several media outlets.

Hickenlooper began his Senate campaign after a failed bid for the Democratic presidential nomination in 2019. His win marks a victory for Democrats in their effort to reclaim the Senate majority.
