Businessman Joe O’Dea easily won the Colorado Republican Senate primary on Tuesday. With 75 percent of precincts reporting, O’Dea led Ron Hanks 56.5 percent to 43.5 percent. Democrats spent at least $4 million to boost Hanks, who said the 2020 election was illegitimate and who would have been a weaker candidate in the general election.
Tale of the tape in #COSEN GOP primary, per R source tracking race:
Far-right candidate Ron Hanks boosted by ~$4M in Democratic money
Establishment candidate Joe O’Dea campaign only able to spend $1M at the same time.
O’Dea 21 point lead last month shrunk to 6 pts last wk.
