In the 2020 Senate race for CO Senate seat, John Wright Hickenlooper (D) won with 53.5% of the vote, defeating Cory Gardner (R) who received 44.2%. 6 additional candidates split the remaining vote. John Wright Hickenlooper's 9.3-point lead over the runner-up showed solid but not overwhelming support.

This was an open-seat race. Open seats typically attract stronger candidates and heavier spending from both parties. The 2020 presidential election drove higher voter turnout, which can help or hurt down-ballot candidates depending on the top of the ticket. This seat will likely stay on party watch lists as potentially competitive in future cycles.
