The democratic socialist Melat Kiros unseated the long-serving US representative Diana DeGette in Colorado’s primary elections held on Tuesday, the latest in a string of high-profile victories for the party’s insurgent left.
The Associated Press reported that Kiros had defeated DeGette for the Democratic nomination in the deep-blue first congressional district centered on Denver. Kiros’s triumph came a week after New York voters unseated two Democratic congressional incumbents and replaced a third who was retiring with candidates who had campaigned on standing up to Israel amid accusations that it was carrying out a genocide in Gaza.
Are you sure? We vote for congress every two years because they have staggered terms, but I’m fairly certain each term is four years.
Otherwise every seat would be up for election every two years…
In the US, house of representatives is every two years, all seats up, senate is a 6 year term, staggered.
I see… thank you
