Colorado Election Results

Joseph R. Biden Jr. won the state of Colorado, gaining nine electoral votes. John Hickenlooper, a Democrat and former governor, beat the incumbent Republican senator, Cory Gardner, for a Senate seat in this now mostly blue state. Read more

Mr. Hickenlooper tried to turn the Senate race into a referendum on the president by spotlighting Mr. Gardner’s support for the administration. Mr. Gardner tried to distance himself from the president while highlighting his bipartisan legislation to fund conservation.

In the Third Congressional District, Lauren Boebert, a Republican novice supporting the QAnon conspiracy theory, beat Diane Mitsch Bush, a Democrat, in a tight race.

Voters approved a compact pledging to assign their electoral college votes to the winner of the national popular vote. — HANK STEPHENSON Read less

U.S. Senate

Senator Cory Gardner, a Republican, rode into office on a Republican wave during the 2014 midterm elections, but with population changes in Colorado and with his party’s leader trailing in the polls, few expect him to be able to hang on against his Democratic challenger, John Hickenlooper, a former governor and a former mayor of Denver.

John Hickenlooper, Democrat, wins the U.S. Senate seat in Colorado.
