John Hickenlooper has just posted a video announcing he is suspending his presidential bid, confirming earlier reports that he would drop out.
He sidestepped whether he would seek the state’s Senate seat: “I’ve heard from so many Coloradans who want me to run for the United States Senate. They remind me how much is at stake for our country. And our state. I intend to give that some serious thought.”
