Another Democratic Socialist has a Democratic incumbent running scared in Colorado.

"Supporters of [Melat] Kiros, who identifies as a democratic socialist, have been buoyed by Tuesday’s primary wins of two other democratic socialists backed by New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, along with a third Democratic candidate endorsed by Mamdani, in congressional races. Two of them beat incumbents."

That makes DSA reps have more votes? Because if not all that fighting won't matter without a majority that they can work within and that is willing to work with them.
