Which CO US Senator retires first? Bennet or Hickenlooper? [View all]
Bennet has been in the US Senate for over 14 years if we include the remaining 2 years of Ken Salazar’s term. If Bennet completes his recent US Senate term which ends in 2029, he will be in the US Senate for 19 to 20 years. Bennet will be the second longest serving US Senator of CO.
Hickenlooper is over 70 years old. If Hickenlooper runs again in 2026 and completes his next next term, he will be over 80 years old.
I could see Polis replacing Bennet in 2028/2029 and Neguse replacing Hickenlooper in 2032/2033. If Polis decides not to run for the US Senate, Crow runs to replace Bennet/Neguse runs to replace Hickenlooper or vice versa.
Neguse will be replacing Bennet in 2028/2029 and Pettersen will be replacing Hickenlooper in 2032/2033.
