He started his tour on Thursday in Colorado Springs, where he pledged to fight Trump's proposed cuts to climate research and questioned whether the Republican health care bill can pass the House of Representatives.
Bennet did not commit to vote against Trump's Supreme Court nominee, Coloradan Neil Gorsuch, a conservative who is respected in Colorado's legal community.
Members of Congress have been careful about in-person town halls this year amid anti-Trump activism. Colorado's Republican Senator, Cory Gardner, has not had one. These are Bennet's first of 2017.
