Anti-Israel socialists rack up another primary upset in Colorado
Melat Kiros, who said that Oct. 7 was the “inevitable consequence of apartheid,” unseated 15-term incumbent Rep. Diana DeGette in the Democratic primary to represent Denver in Congress
Assessment
A self-described socialist who blamed Israel for the October 7 attacks has defeated a long-serving Democratic incumbent in a Colorado primary. This signals that the party's left flank is willing to challenge established figures over the Israel issue. The outcome may pressure other Democratic lawmakers to reconsider their stance on the conflict.
