Wyoming Governor Mark Gordon shared his support for Weld County, a rural Colorado county home to nearly 324,000 residents, efforts to secede from the state and join Wyoming on Monday.
"We would love that," Gordon said during an interview with local Colorado radio station KOA NewsRadio. "From time to time states have said, 'Gosh we like what Wyoming is doing' and so we'd be happy."
Colorado Governor Jared Polis pushed back against Gordon's support, saying Weld County residents are proud to be a part of his state.
