Socialists bring New York momentum to Denver with challenge of 30-year House incumbent

In Denver, a significant political battle is unfolding as Rep. Diana DeGette, a long-standing 15-term incumbent, faces a challenge from a candidate endorsed by Sen. Bernie Sanders. This race has turned into a litmus test for Democrats' support for socialist policies, particularly following recent momentum from New York. The outcome in Colorado’s 1st Congressional District will likely influence the broader political landscape, signaling whether the Democratic Party will embrace more progressive, socialist-leaning candidates.
