John Hickenlooper(D-CO) should follow Sherrod Brown(D-OH) lead and focus on becoming US Senator. [View all]

Instead of US President/Vice President.
Sherrod Brown(D-OH) has announced that he is not running for President and is focusing on his US Senate career. If Sherrod Brown left the US Senate to become President or Vice President, his US Senate seat will go to a Conservative Republican who win in the 2022 special election.
John Hickenlooper(D-CO) has an easier chance of becoming the next US Senator from CO than the next President of the United States. If Hickenlooper runs for the US Senate, he will easily win the Democratic Nomination due to high name recognition and win the November General Election against Cory Gardner-R. Hickenlooper can save the DSCC alot of money trying to win back the CO US Senate seat with mediocre candidates. DSCC can spend money in other US Senate Races- protecting Jones(AL) unseating McSally(AZ), Perdue(GA),Ernst(IA),McConnell(KY), Collins(ME), Tillis(NC) and Cornyn(TX). Hickenlooper can resign from the US Senate in 2022 allowing Governor Polis to appoint Hickenlooper's replacement who can run and win in the 2022 special election. Polis,Bennet,and the other CO Democratic statewide elected officials will also be up for re-election in 2022.
