Insurgent socialist candidate Melat Kiros defeated longtime Rep. Diana DeGette (D-Colo.) Tuesday in Colorado’s 1st District House primary, marking the latest blow to the establishment wing of the Democratic Party.
Kiros came out on top of the incumbent, 49.3% to 43.5%, by the time the Associated Press called the race late Tuesday.
Kiros’s win in the solidly blue district follows a string of victories by socialist and far-left candidates over incumbent and establishment-backed Democrats in New York in June, and it’s expected to tilt the political makeup of the House Democratic caucus even further to the left after the midterm elections.
“Now is not the time to gamble and send somebody with no experience to Washington,” DeGette, a 15-term Democrat, pleaded at a candidate forum last week.
First elected to the House in 1997, DeGette, 68, has represented the Denver area in Congress longer than Kiros, 29, has been alive.
“We need a strong, bold, hardened leader who will hold Trump accountable, and when we win the majority in November, will have real power to move the US to a more just and affordable America … That leader is me,” DeGette argued.
DeGette boasted endorsements from Colorado’s Democratic congressional delegation, the House Progressive Caucus, Planned Parenthood Action Fund and several prominent labor unions.
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) told reporters Monday that DeGette was “forcefully making her case” for re-election while cautioning, “We’ll see what happens.”

Amazing...the Communcrats - a cross between Communist and Democrat - are going to know that they will be defeated by sane people. When, I’m not sure, but it better be soon!!
The Israeli lobby is being dismantled from within by the Democrat party...go figure.
Dazis are a stain on America
“Kiros is from ETHIOPIA!!!!! ANOTHER FOREIGN BORN RULING OVER US!!!!”
Colorado is ruled by sneering coastal assholes.
None of the news reports I have read or watched discuss her possible impact on this election.
Did the Black female pull most of her 7% from the Incumbent - or - from the Communist winner?
Zohran Mamdani just squeaked over 50% in his election.
The Communist female got just 49% - a plurality, not a majority.
colorado will soon have it’s own AOC on steroids ... Democrats in this state would elect Satan himself if he was on the Democrat ticket ...
If we are unwilling to do our duty, maybe we should not complain...
Somebody is paying for this.
Same "somebody" who funded all the woke leftist DA's across the country.
Yepperrrr.
