Democratic socialists struck another blow against the Democratic establishment on Tuesday in Colorado, where CNN’s Decision Desk projects that 29-year-old Melat Kiros will defeat incumbent Rep. Diana DeGette, who was first elected before Kiros was born, in a primary.

Kiros was the third progressive challenger to defeat a sitting House member in eight days, after two more won last week in New York.

CNN’s Audie Cornish discusses the ramifications of the Democratic Party’s recent progressive insurgency with her “group chat.” Also, CNN senior political analyst Mark Preston says the trend is “certainly not a one off.”
