据决策桌总部（Decision Desk HQ）预测，科罗拉多州参议员约翰·希肯卢珀（民主党）将赢得上议院第二个任期。
Colorado Sen. John Hickenlooper (D) is projected to win a second term in the upper chamber, according to Decision Desk HQ.
他击败了共和党州立法者马克·贝斯利，保住了这个稳蓝席位。希肯卢珀于2020年首次当选国会议员，现任商务、科学与交通委员会以及卫生、教育、劳工和养老金委员会等委员会成员。
He defeated Republican Mark Baisley, a state lawmaker, for the solid-blue seat. Hickenlooper was first elected to Capitol Hill in 2020, and he serves on the Commerce, Science and Transportation and Health, Education, Labor and Pensions committees, among others.
这位参议院民主党人此前于2003年至2011年担任丹佛市长，2011年至2019年担任百年州州长。他曾于2020年竞选总统，但未能成功，随后结束竞选，转而参选参议员。
The Senate Democrat previously served as the mayor of Denver from 2003 to 2011 and governor of the Centennial State from 2011 to 2019. He unsuccessfully ran for president in 2020, ending his campaign to instead run for Senate.
希肯卢珀是这场蓝州选举的热门人选。自2014年以来，科罗拉多州共和党人尚未当选参议员。
Hickenlooper was the favorite to win in the blue state. A Colorado Republican hasn’t been elected to the Senate since 2014.
