By Chris Mills Rodrigo - 08/13/19 06:02 PM EDT

Former Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper (D) is considering ending his White House bid and pursuing a Senate run instead, The New York Times reported Tuesday.

Four Democratic sources familiar with his thinking told the outlet that the two-term governor is giving serious consideration to challenging Republican Sen. Cory Gardner (Colo.), a move many have have called for in hopes of helping Democrats retake the Senate.

Hickenlooper reportedly discussed the possibility with Sen. Michael Bennet (D-Colo.), another 2020 candidate, during a drive before an event in Iowa.

The DEMS are urging Beto to step down as well so that he can run for Senate.

Slowly the DEMS seem to be gearing up for the take over of the Senate and expand their majority in the House.

Meanwhile ... don't hear much about the GOP gearing up for much of anything.

If they are doing things, do you think the press would be telling us anything positive about it?
