Colorado Republican gubernatorial candidate Walker Stapleton's "credentials and talents are impeccable," President Donald Trump tweeted Wednesday morning in a glowing endorsement.
The president's post came on the heels of a Denver Post poll showing Democrat Rep. Jared Polis with an 11-point lead over Stapleton. The poll also found that Democrats were "more enthusiastic" about congressional races.
Stapleton and Polis squared off last Friday in their first gubernatorial debate and clashed over health care, transportation, immigration, abortion, and energy.
Stapleton, in his second term as the state treasurer, said he was opposed to third-trimester abortions and Medicaid expansion under Obamacare and an advocate of abolishing sanctuary cities that refuse to enforce federal immigration law.
