Melat Kiros Opens Lead Over Diana DeGette in Colorado's CD1 Primary
In early returns from Colorado’s 1st Congressional District Democratic primary, Melat Kiros (a Democratic socialist) leads incumbent Rep. Diana DeGette by about 2 percentage points (47.5% to 45.2%) with 97,575 ballots counted; the race is too close to call as ballots continue to be tallied, reflecting a potential leftward shift in a long-held seat and drawing national attention and spending.
