U.S. Senator Michael Bennet, who was backed by President Barack Obama, won his party’s nomination in Colorado yesterday in a test of the White House’s influence among Democrats.
Bennet, 45, beat former Colorado House Speaker Andrew Romanoff, 43, who was endorsed by former President Bill Clinton. The split between the current U.S. chief executive and a past one helped spur national interest in the primary contest.
