Democratic socialists set sights beyond New York after Big Apple romp
The group is backing candidates in several primaries as organizers say recent New York wins show its message can travel beyond the city.
- On Tuesday, democratic socialist Melat Kiros challenges 15-term incumbent Rep. Diana DeGette in Colorado's 1st Congressional District, testing whether the Democratic Socialists of America's recent New York momentum extends nationally.
- Recent primary victories in New York fueled the DSA's expansion from around 5,000 members nearly a decade ago to more than 100,000 across 200 chapters, energizing the group's national strategy.
- Outside groups flooded the race with over $1.5 million from Pro-Choice Majority Action backing DeGette and over $500,000 from Justice Democrats supporting Kiros, underscoring the contest's intensity.
- DeGette defended her record by warning voters "now is not the time to gamble and send someone with no experience," while Kiros argued the incumbent is out of touch with working-class values.
- DSA-Backed candidates are competing in upcoming primaries in Michigan, Florida, and Wisconsin, signaling a broader strategy to reshape Democratic Party dynamics as establishment figures face persistent primary pressure.
