Colorado proves Mamdani’s midterm wins were not a fluke

Socialist Melat Kiros soundly defeated 15-term incumbent Rep. Diana DeGette (D-CO) last night in the Democratic Socialists of America’s first test after its New York congressional sweep last month. The socialist insurgency proved its popularity beyond Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s five boroughs.

“We will not wait to take the fight to Donald Trump and the oligarchy,” Kiros bellowed during her victory speech last night. “We will not wait to abolish ICE and pass Medicare. We will not wait to put an end to the politics of the past, to get big money out of our politics, and to reject corporate PACs and AIPAC.”
