November 3, 2020, 7:01 p.m. That was the exact moment when we learned that Republican Sen. Cory Gardner had lost his bid for re-election to Democrat John Hickenlooper. Gardner was so far out of contention in 2020 that the race for U.S. Senate was called literally one minute after the polls closed in Colorado. It […]
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell congratulated Democrat Joe Biden for winning the Presidential election today, exactly six weeks after Election Day. As The Washington Post reports: “The electoral college has spoken, so today I want to congratulate President-elect Joe Biden,” said McConnell (R-Ky.). He also nodded to the historic elevation of his Senate colleague, Kamala […]
Colorado Sen. Cory Gardner (R-Yuma) delivered his farewell speech today on the Senate floor. It was, sadly, a typical Gardner performance: Intellectually dishonest to the very end. To understand the brazen hypocrisy of Gardner’s speech, you need to know that Gardner has steadfastly refused to acknowledge that Democrat Joe Biden defeated President Trump in the […]
We’re obliged to note this report in the New York Times, though we’re not ready to take it to the bank: [Republican Party chair Ronna Romney] McDaniel, a Michigan native, has a gilded political pedigree: She is the niece of Senator Mitt Romney of Utah and the granddaughter of George Romney, a three-term Michigan governor. […]
After nearly two weeks of trying, a reporter finally got outgoing Sen. Cory Gardner to utter words in response to the terminal crisis of Donald Trump’s out-of-control presidency–Trump’s refusal to acknowledge the results of an election that no reasonable observer has found any reason to question the results of. Free of the obligation to defend […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) While trips to Disney World following hard-fought contests are generally associated with the winners, lame-duck Sen. Cory Gardner (R-CO) nevertheless spent last weekend in Orlando in what has become an annual tradition of his own: schmoozing with lobbyists at the “Happiest Place on Earth.” Last year Gardner’s campaign committee and his […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Written by Madeleine Schmidt & Erik Maulbetsch After a decade in Washington as a public official, Colorado’s Republican Senator Cory Gardner is going home. The hundreds of judges he voted to approve, however, many of whom are anti-choice extremists, will continue their work interpreting American law for decades to come. Gardner’s […]
The Hill: Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) on Friday pushed back against President Trump’s baseless claim that the election is being stolen, warning that his rhetoric is only inflaming partisan tensions. Romney, in a statement posted to Twitter, said the president was “right” to “exhaust legal remedies,” including asking for recounts and that alleged voting irregularities […]
No additional commentary required: For the past six years I’ve had the great privilege of serving the people of Colorado. I need your vote to help me continue this fight and accomplish so much more for our state. pic.twitter.com/Wmtlf0R3gp — Cory Gardner (@CoryGardner) November 3, 2020
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) State Sen. Kerry Donovan, a Democrat, tweeted a photo today showing U.S. Sen. Cory Gardner (R-CO) and congressional candidate Lauren Boebert, both maskless and in violation of a Garfield County, Colorado, requirement that “facial coverings” be worn “in all settings, both indoor and outdoor.” “Garfield County has a mask mandate — […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) With the election so close, and Trump driving so many voters away from Republicans, U.S. Sen. Cory Gardner’s (R-CO) promise to speak out against his own party stands out among everything he’s said from 2014 till today. It’s been oft-repeated, but how can it not top Gardner’s quote list? “When my […]
(Bumped into November) It appears likely that Sen. Cory Gardner will not be re-elected to the U.S. Senate next week. If months and years of polling data are accurate, Gardner will be handily defeated by Democrat John Hickenlooper. It will be a loss of his own making. Like many Republicans, Gardner might have been dragged […]
[SPOILER ALERT: There is no Republican health care plan] President Trump’s somewhat-anticipated interview with “60 Minutes” reporter Lesley Stahl finally aired on Sunday night. This was the interview that Trump cut short last week when he got sad that Stahl was not going to just let him sit there and pretend that a secret laptop […]
On October 9th, the Denver Post’s editorial board issued an endorsement of John Hickenlooper in Colorado’s U.S. Senate race that acknowledged in part the errors made by the board six years before with their deeply controversial endorsement of Cory Gardner’s election to the U.S. Senate. Yesterday, the editor of the Post’s opinion section Megan Schrader […]
Don’t take our word for it, the Lincoln Project’s much-anticipated swipe at Trump loyalist Sen. Cory Gardner released this morning really didn’t require much effort at all video productionwise: Because Gardner gave them everything they needed except for the laugh track.
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) A formal complaint filed last week with the U. S. Senate Select Committee on Ethics asks for an investigation into Colorado Sen. Cory Gardner’s use of unsolicited robocalls to promote a tele-townhall COVID-19 update within 60 days of the election. Election season limitations on Members of Congress conducting constituent communication are […]
As the New York Times reports, the White House and Democratic Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi are inching closer to a deal on a comprehensive economic stimulus bill that includes the direct payments and aid to struggling state and local governments Democrats have been holding out for, and might even if everybody moves quickly […]
A column from Colorado Sun reporter Jesse Paul appeared in the much larger forum of the Washington Post yesterday, offering another torrid take on the impending fall of GOP Sen. Cory Gardner of Colorado along a theme we’ve been hearing quite a bit the last few days: that Gardner, an “excellent candidate” in his own […]
A press release last Thursday from Democratic U.S. Senate candidate John Hickenlooper’s campaign took note of a late investment in the flagging fortunes of GOP incumbent Sen. Cory Gardner by Joe Ricketts, the billionaire owner of the Chicago Cubs: With ballots already coming in at record speed, Senator Cory Gardner’s wealthy corporate backers are panicking […]
We’re 17 days out from the 2020 general election, and in Colorado certain inevitabilities are beginning to come into focus. Driven by unprecedented early turnout overwhelmingly led by Democratic and what’s assumed to be left-voting unaffiliated voters, an historic landslide election is shaping up for Colorado Democrats once again–with a strong possibility of further growing […]
UPDATE: You tell ’em, Team Gardner! This is totally not sad or anything. “It’s clear the Democrats also know John Hickenlooper has no chance of winning,” says Gardner campaign — Burgess Everett (@burgessev) October 16, 2020 —– Colorado Sen. Cory Gardner is not going to be re-elected next month. The writing was on the wall […]
At the end stage of any once-contested political campaign whose outcome has become clear as the season wore on, always a watched-for indicator of fateful decisions being made behind the scenes, is the curtailment of spending in races that national strategists in either party have written off as unwinnable. In races that stay close down […]
(Maybe it’s one of them gun poles — Promoted by Colorado Pols) Cory Gardner brought a fishing pole to gun fight. The National Rifle Association’s (NRA) latest digital ad for Cory Gardner stresses not just that he’s your choice for “defending the Second Amendment” but specifically, “your right to self-defense.” Pretty standard stuff for a […]
The final U.S. Senate debate of the 2020 election cycle — in Colorado, at least — took place on Tuesday night in Ft. Collins. The big headline of the night was Sen. Cory Gardner’s inexplicable decision to answer “YES” to the question, “Do you think President Trump is a moral and ethical man,” but Gardner […]
Yesterday, the Grand Junction Sentinel’s editorial board published their research into Colorado’s two U.S. Senate candidates. The newspaper didn’t endorse a candidate in keeping with their policy this year, but nonetheless made clear they were most displeased by the choice of incumbent GOP Sen. Cory Gardner to decline to meet with them. That’s right, folks–the […]
