“House Democrats are watching with trepidation as another one of their veteran colleagues tries to fend off a left-wing challenger in the Colorado primaries on Tuesday,” Axios reports.

“The race will help reveal whether the big anti-establishment victories in New York last week were one-offs or a sign of the new normal for longtime Democratic incumbents.”

“Rep. Diana DeGette (D-CO) has told colleagues that she thinks she will ultimately prevail over attorney and PhD student Melat Kiros but is taking the challenge seriously.”

“Nate Silver said the predictions markets are underestimating the Democrats in the 2026 midterms, especially when it comes to winning back control of the House of Representatives,” Mediaite reports.

“Silver said prediction markets have Democrats at 80-85% odds to win back the House, and 40-45% to take control of the Senate. He said those are ‘pretty reasonable,’ but that it was ‘a little bit low’ on what he projects for the House. Silver said he gives the Dems an 85-90% shot at retaking the House.”
