Today, we stepped onto the debate stage against Mark Baisley. Colorado needs a fighter who will stand up to the president and put working families first. Baisley would be a rubber stamp for Trump: supporting his illegal war that’s raised prices and voting with MAGA. That’s your choice on Nov 3rd.

Claims

  1. 1TrueMark Baisley participated in a debate on October 11, 2026.Multiple independent sources report that Mark Baisley and John Hickenlooper faced off in a Colorado U.S. Senate candidate debate hosted by The Colorado Sun at Colorado State University on Sunday, October 11, 2026. The extracted claim matches the passage's core assertion (stepping onto the debate stage against Baisley), and the scheduled MSU Denver debate on October 14 is a separate event that does not affect the claim.6 sources →
  2. 2TrueMark Baisley supports Donald Trump's war.Multiple sources show Mark Baisley, the Republican U.S. Senate candidate in Colorado, defended Trump's military action against Iran as of August and in the October 2026 debate, which supports the claim that he supports Trump's war as of 2026-10-11. The claim was extracted from a passage that also calls the war 'illegal' and says it raised prices, but the extracted claim itself only asserts support, which the sources confirm; the 'illegal' and price characterizations are the speaker's opinions, not part of the extracted claim.5 sources →
  3. 3TrueDonald Trump's war has raised prices.The sources consistently report that the Iran war initiated by Trump has driven up gasoline and diesel prices and contributed to inflation, with CBO-based reporting attributing a large share of Q2 2026 inflation to the war. The claim is supported as of 2026-10-11, though the sources are mostly secondary coverage and some are unrated, and the claim's 'illegal' characterization is an opinion not graded here.9 sources →
