Kiros is the third challenger to oust a sitting House Democrat in only eight days. The anti-establishment wave was also clear in Colorado's Democratic primary for governor.

    SCOTUS Rules for Trump on Immigration
    Jun 25 2026
    The Supreme Court's conservative majority delivers two major wins for President Trump's hard-line immigration policies.
