(The Center Square) - Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser became the likely Democratic Party nominee for governor after Tuesday's primary, but the Republican primary for the same seat was too close to call. Meanwhile, the attorney general primaries were determined by large margins.
In the gubernatorial race, Weiser had 54.8% of the votes, which gave him a big lead over his opponent, U.S. Sen. Michael Bennet, D-Colorado, with 45.2% during early results. Weiser led Bennet with over 600,000 total votes cast across the state, according to the Colorado Secretary of State's Office. Weiser was most notably ahead in the greater Denver area.
