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.”

These aren’t the first rumblings of presidential ambition for the state’s senior senator. In a story from late November, The Associated Press reported that Bennet has been in contact with influential Iowa Democrats. Iowa is home to the first caucus of the 2020 Democratic presidential nominating campaign. In an interview eight days later, CPR asked Bennet about a possible run for the country’s top job.

1. i'm sure there will be many candidates but most will drop out before the voting starts

and the ones that drop out will start to endorse others.

2. No... we have a chance finally to have two DEM Senators when Corey Gardener comes up in 2020

The last thing we need to do is put Bennet's seat at jeopardy
