Socialist Surge: Far-left Democrats test national playbook after blue-city primary shocks

Far-left candidates, including Melat Kiros and Zohran Mamdani-backed contenders, have won primary elections in New York City and Colorado, prompting a national push by the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) to challenge Democratic establishment figures in upcoming contests in Missouri, Michigan, and Wisconsin. Cori Bush and Abdul El-Sayed, both supported by progressive leaders like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Bernie Sanders, are among the key candidates in these races.
