Socialist Melat Kiros Ousts Colorado Incumbent

Democratic socialist Melat Kiros, a 29-year-old lawyer born in Ethiopia, defeated 15-term incumbent Representative Diana DeGette in Colorado's Democratic primary.

Her victory is another major win for the party's left wing and deepens the internal Democratic divide.

Kiros's win is part of a wave of far-left candidates winning Democratic primaries, including in New York.

The trend has raised questions about the party's direction and its impact on general elections.
