Socialist Wave: Melat Kiros Defeats 15-Term Denver Incumbent

At 3:15 · chapter starts 0:57

Megyn Kelly reports that the DSA's electoral surge, previously confined to New York City, has now reached Colorado, where Melat Kiros — a 29-year-old socialist — toppled 15-term Democratic incumbent Diana DeGette in a Denver House primary. Kelly lays out Kiros's platform: abolishing ICE, Medicare for All, a trans bill of rights, and fierce opposition to U.S. support for Israel. She notes the DSA's official platform goes even further, calling for defunding the Pentagon, de-incarceration, abolishing police, and eliminating the presidency, the Senate, and the federal judiciary. Kelly plays Kiros's victory speech — complete with an obnoxious air horn — in which Kiros vows to fight Trump, oligarchy, and AIPAC. She adds that Kiros was reportedly fired from Sidley Austin for signing a pro-Palestinian letter after October 7 and refused to back down. Kelly also explains the 'free Medicare for All' pitch and asks bluntly: who pays for it?
