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.

Rutinel’s win is another victory for progressives over the Democratic establishment.

Rutinel led former state Rep. Shannon Bird 60.6%-34.6% with 82% of the vote tabulated when the Associated Press called the race.

Progressives had a big night in Colorado's primaries Tuesday, led by Melat Kiros, who was poised to unseat 15-term incumbent Rep. Diana DeGette.
