Another Big DSA Win: this time in Denver
2026-07-02
[Yahoo] One week after DSA-aligned candidates scored ballot-box victories over establishment-backed contenders in two congressional primaries in New York City that grabbed outsized national attention, the group scored another major upset in a deep-blue U.S. House district in Denver, Colorado.

Democratic Rep. Diana DeGette, who was first elected to Congress in 1996 and took office in 1997, was defeated by DSA-backed Melat Kiros, a first-time candidate and former attorney who is 29 years old.

"Another Democratic Socialist is going to Congress!," the DSA touted in a social media post. "Congresswoman Kiros will take the fight for a better world to D.C: to Abolish ICE, free Palestine, and win Universal Childcare and Medicare for All."

Extremist leftists did well in several other Colorado primaries.
They’re taking the Democratic primaries with something like 10% of the Democratic voters, but the most fanatic 10%, willing to turn out when nobody else bothers. The same way that Zohran Mamdani won the primary in New York City.
