Democratic presidential candidate John Hickenlooper spoke to Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer late last week about running for the Senate from Colorado, a race he has resisted joining but is keeping an open mind about, a top aide tells CNN.
"He is still in the race for president, but he hasn't closed the door to anything," said Peter Cunningham, the communications director for the former Colorado governor.The latest conversation between Hickenlooper and Schumer took place in New York, following the CNN presidential debates in Detroit. The two have spoken repeatedly about the Senate contest, but Hickenlooper has been insistent on keeping his presidential campaign alive.
But a decision is looming for Hickenlooper, aides said, considering candidates have until August 28 to qualify for the next round of debates. He is also running short on campaign funds and will be faced with deciding whether to invest his own money in the race or dropping out in the coming weeks.A month ago, Hickenlooper shook up his presidential team, allowing his campaign manager, finance director and spokeswoman to leave.
