A 29-year-old candidate defeated a 15-term incumbent in the Democratic primary for Colorado's 1st Congressional District on Tuesday. The winner appeared on a Democratic Socialists of America victory call the following night alongside another nominee.
A participant on the call described the Colorado candidate as facing an incumbent comparable to one recently defeated in New York. The candidate has previously stated that the October 7 attacks were inevitable. The candidate also declined to describe the attacks as antisemitic.
The victory marks the latest instance of a Democratic Socialists of America-backed candidate defeating an incumbent Democrat in a primary election. Supporters on the call urged participants to assist the Colorado nominee's campaign ahead of the general election. The incumbent had served in the House since before the winner was born.
