Colorado braces for anti-establishment shake-up in Bennet and DeGette primaries

Colorado Democrats are bracing for an anti-establishment wave after New York’s insurgent wins, with Sen. Michael Bennet in a volatile governor primary against Attorney General Phil Weiser and Rep. Diana DeGette facing a serious challenge from progressive Melat Kiros. Internal polls show tightening races, triggering big outside spending and a surge of grassroots organizing, including Denver's Democratic Socialists of America. A Kiros or Weiser victory could reshape Colorado politics, signaling a broader anti-Washington mood in this year's primaries.
