Bennet Loans Himself Millions Amid Bloomberg Surge

Senator Michael Bennet just dumped nearly a million of his own dollars into his gubernatorial campaign—just as billionaire Michael Bloomberg’s super PAC funneled over $4.6 million into pro-Bennet ads right before the primary. Bennet personally loaned his campaign $950K on May 29, immediately fueling pricey ads against Attorney General Phil Weiser, with nearly $850K spent in just over a week. While loans can theoretically be repaid, most never are. Bloomberg’s PAC still has $3M left to spend—mostly on more ads. This explosive spending signals a razor-thin race in Colorado’s Democratic primary, where the winner on June 30 is likely headed straight to November’s general election. Bennet shrugged off Bloomberg’s massive support, saying he doesn’t know why. Meanwhile, Republicans lag behind in cash—with one campaign paying a candidate’s daughter $5K for consulting, bringing her total campaign earnings to $20K.
