N’Kiyla Thomas wins Democratic nomination for U.S. Senate in Oklahoma
The nurse and self-described democratic socialist won with about 61% of the vote and will face Republican Rep. Kevin Hern in November.
- N'Kiyla Jasmine Thomas, a 31-year-old nurse and member of the Chickasaw Nation, won the Democratic Senate primary runoff in Oklahoma, defeating Jim Priest despite being heavily outspent.
- Thomas identifies as a self-proclaimed democratic socialist, supporting Medicare for All, universal childcare, abolishing ICE, and parental leave, but opposes defunding the Department of Defense, reflecting some divergence from the Democratic Socialists of America platform.
- Thomas will face Republican Kevin Hern in the November general election for the U.S. Senate seat, with Hern heavily favored to win given Oklahoma's strong Republican leaning.
- Thomas's primary victory highlights the growing influence and acceptance of socialist candidates within the Democratic Party, even in traditionally conservative states, illustrating a notable shift in party dynamics.
