Progressive Manny Rutinel is the projected winner in the Democratic primary in Colorado's 8th Congressional District, a GOP-held seat that is one of the handful of toss-up districts in the country. As of 7:40 p.m. on Tuesday, the state representative running to be his party's nominee for the general election had 60.6% of the vote and Shannon Bird had 34.6% of the vote. Evan Munsing was on the ballot but dropped out of the race.
