Denver, CO – Colorado’s political landscape is seeing increased activity as former President Donald Trump has closed the gap against current President Joe Biden for the 2024 presidential race, according to a recent poll.
In the 2020 election, Biden won Colorado by a double-digit margin. However, the latest polling shows Trump gaining ground, with the race now nearly tied between the two potential candidates. This shift comes as Trump continues to hold rallies and speeches across the country, energizing his Republican base.
The tightening presidential race is also influencing politics at the state level. Colorado lawmakers are considering a proposal to ban the use of the controversial phrase “excited delirium” by law enforcement. This follows an investigation by The Gazette showing that officers were being taught to use the medically unfounded term. The proposed ban represents growing efforts for policing reform in the state.
Alongside the political developments, Colorado’s weather has also been making headlines. On Wednesday, a wild mix of conditions swept the state, with snow in the mountains and hail on the plains. This ever-changing weather adds to the feeling that Colorado finds itself at the center of tumultuous times nationally.
As Trump continues to dominate headlines and close the polling gap, the road to the 2024 presidential election promises to raise temperatures even further in this crucial western state. Colorado appears positioned to play a pivotal role in the future direction of American politics.
