Senator Michael Bennet started his presidential campaign in 2019 but he quit after losing the New Hampshire Primary on February 11th 2020,Due to the lack of appeal in an already crowded group of people running for nomination.

Bennet is the senior United States senator from Colorado being appointed by then Governor John Hickenlooper in 2008 and has won two full terms as a senator and is up for reselection in 2022 and is indicted to easily win in a state becoming even more Democratic. He is a moderate Democrat and is consider a new version of Bill Clinton who won landslide victory's against Bush and Dole in 1992 and 1996 respectfully.

Michael Bennet is different to all other presidential candidates; he wasn’t born in the USA he was born in India in New Delhi to a American father and Polish mother and qualified for natural born us citizenship making him eligible for the presidency or vice presidency. He was a superintendent for public schools before being chosen for the senate and has tireless fought for education and equality in the US Senate.

Now why is he the underdog for 2024? President Joe Biden will not run in 2024 as he will be seeing as two old being 82 and would not be re-elected again due to his age being the biggest factor in the race. So the front runners will be vice president Kamala Harris, Pete Buttigieg and possibly Elizabeth Warren or Alexandria Ocasio-Cortezas Sanders will be too old. However we know if we want to win more moderate and conservative states as well and expand are electors we need an another moderate democrat who in the past has won us landslide victories expect in 2016 but that was coming from a democrat administration already. Bennet is the answer. He is smart ,moderate, charming and is from a moderate State in the west and the rocky mountain part of the country and has support from democrats and moderate republicans what we are going to need as we have seen the GOP tend further to the right and at the same time ,our own party is getting more divided by the moderate and the liberals in the democrat party. Bennet has got a great story and a impress record in congress

As a surprising red wave in congress this year we need to unite the democrat party as the American people do like this socialist policy’s but hate the word socialist which the republicans would put on every media outlet in the state to stop the democrat from being elected and then instead. We need to connect with the mainstream of American’s and Bennet is the person to do this. We need to save this country from partisan division and work for the majority of the American people who can’t afford healthcare or the student who has to study with 20 year old textbooks and Bennet is the guy who will stop this and bring us in to our brightest day. It would be lie saying it won’t be hard right wing republicans and more liberal democrats who will try and stop him and will do everything in their power to stop him but if he stays strong he will get there.

Bennet is a natural debater he destroyed senator Ted Cruz on the floor of the senate during the 2019 government shutdown where Cruz was Blaming the democrats for not funding the coast guard when Bennet cut him off and said "These crocodile tears that the senator from Texas is crying for the first responders are too hard for me to take," Bennet said. "Because when the senator from Texas shut this government down, my state was flooded. It was underwater. People were killed. People's houses were destroyed. Their small businesses were ruined forever. And because of the senator from Texas, this government was shut down. For politics."

He added later, "I'm not goanna stand here and take it from somebody who shut the government down while my state was flooded." And again on January 6th Bennet said this against Cruz's objection to the electoral vote counting, Bennet said, “You can't now come to the floor of the Senate and say, ‘You're ignoring the people who believe the election was stolen.’ Go out there and tell them the truth, which is that every single member of this Senate knows this election wasn't stolen. “And destroyed republican talking points at many times in the senate and in his state.

Bennet has been underestimated in his senate runs facing challenges in his own party in 2010 and in 2016 and opposition from the republicans in all his elections he was not favoured to win the primary or the election in 2010 but won he isn’t known a lot which could work to his advantages to the normal Americans in the primary But what else does Bennet have going for him? Well, he’s got a winning track record in a purple state, and he’s a moderate, both points he could use to sell himself as a good bet in the general election and this could help him win the election. Bennet is the future of this party and that why I see him as the underdog but it won be easily to defeat the frontrunners of juggernaut of Harris and Buttigieg but we see if he makes a name for himself in the next few years.
