Summary

In Colorado's hotly contested Senate primary, Joe O'Dea came out victorious. O'Dea beat opponent Rep. Ron Hanks, who despite being 'far-right,' was the Democrats' preferred candidate to face Senator Michael Bennett in the fall. Joe O'Dea is making his political debut with his Senate campaign. O'Dea is a businessman and CEO who believes his background in the construction industry gives him an edge with blue-collar voters. He discusses how his business has been impacted by inflation and rising gas prices, and how that helps him relate to Coloradans facing these issues every day. Due to time limitations, we could not include all of the interview in our original segment. On the FOX News Rundown Extra, you will hear our entire interview with Joe O'Dea about the state of his campaign and how he hopes to help Republicans claim the Senate this fall.
