John Hickenlooper@hickenlooper.bsky.socialOct 11, 2026Today, 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.
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.
This claim is about the present, so it is judged as of the day it was checked.
What we found
Supports. In an August interview, Baisley defended Trump's war in Iran, saying U.S. troops were 'trying to calm down the Middle East' and 'defeat the bad guys.'[1]
Supports. In the October 2026 Senate debate coverage, Baisley defended military action against Iran, citing attacks on Americans and concerns about nuclear weapons.[2]
Supports. Coverage of the Senate race notes Baisley has supported much of Trump's agenda, which is consistent with his defense of the war.[3]
Context. Social media posts quoting the claimant describe the war as illegal and costly; these are partisan characterizations and not independent evidence of Baisley's position.[4][5]
