WASHINGTON, March 2 (Reuters) – 美国众议院共和党人将在11月的中期选举中捍卫其微弱的多数席位,而民主党人则希望赢得足够多的席位以掌控众议院,这将使他们有权调查唐纳德·特朗普总统的政府。

未来几个月,选民将在党内初选中选出候选人。其中一些竞选可能会为各政党的走向以及整体选举的竞争性提供线索。

以下是未来几个月值得关注的几场竞选:

得克萨斯州第23选区:身败名裂的现任议员对决右翼影响者(3月3日)

共和党众议员托尼·冈萨雷斯(Tony Gonzales)正面临一场突如其来的丑闻,他试图抵御右翼视频博主布兰登·埃雷拉(Brandon Herrera)的挑战。

当地媒体公布的短信显示,冈萨雷斯与一名去年自杀身亡的工作人员有染。冈萨雷斯面临国会的道德调查,其多名同事呼吁他辞职。他否认有不当行为,但这些指控无疑会给他与埃雷拉的初选带来负面影响——埃雷拉在2024年的初选中仅以350票之差未能击败他。

埃雷拉是一名枪支公司老板,自称”AK枪先生”,其YouTube频道曾拿退伍军人自杀和大屠杀开玩笑。这个从圣安东尼奥延伸到埃尔帕索的庞大选区原本是共和党的稳固票仓,但分析人士称,11月的选举可能会变得更具竞争力。

得克萨斯州第2选区:右翼瞄准一名老兵(3月3日)

共和党众议员丹·克伦肖(Dan Crenshaw)是一名在阿富汗失去一只眼睛的战斗老兵,他有着稳固的保守派记录,但因支持乌克兰以及投票认证特朗普2020年选举失利而受到右翼媒体的抨击。他是今年得克萨斯州唯一未获得特朗普支持的共和党众议员现任议员。

克伦肖正面临来自史蒂夫·托特(Steve Toth)的挑战,后者是一名被任命的牧师,也是德克萨斯州议会中最保守的成员之一。如果托特击败克伦肖,这将向其他偶尔与特朗普持不同意见的共和党人发出警告。

得克萨斯州第21选区:泰谢拉登场(3月3日)

前美国职业棒球大联盟明星马克·泰谢拉(Mark Teixeira)是争夺奥斯汀和圣安东尼奥之间希尔地区空缺席位的热门人选。泰谢拉曾随纽约洋基队获得世界大赛冠军戒指,但从未担任过民选职务。他得到了特朗普、得克萨斯州州长格雷格·阿博特(Greg Abbott)以及多名资深众议院共和党人的支持。然而,有超过10名候选人争夺共和党提名,泰谢拉可能无法获得50%以上的选票,这意味着5月26日将举行决选。

得克萨斯州第15选区:歌手对决急诊室医生(3月3日)

民主党人对博比·普利多(Bobby Pulido)的参选感到兴奋,这位特哈诺音乐明星希望击败现任共和党众议员莫妮卡·德拉克鲁兹(Monica De La Cruz)。但他面临着来自同为民主党人的阿达·奎利亚尔(Ada Cuellar)的严峻挑战,后者是一名急诊室医生,认为普利多在堕胎权问题上的立场不够坚定。普利多表示,他个人反对堕胎,但认为堕胎应该合法。

得克萨斯州第18选区:阿尔·格林的谢幕演出?(3月3日)

民主党众议员阿尔·格林(Al Green)自2005年起在国会任职,但他最出名的是曾公开反对特朗普——就在上周的国情咨文演讲中,他因举着写有”黑人不是猴子”的牌子抗议特朗普白宫发布的种族主义视频而被带出会议厅。

格林的政治生涯可能即将走到尽头,因为在民主党选民在2024年乔·拜登总统不幸的连任竞选失败后,他们已向年迈的领导人施压,要求其退选。

在共和党主导的选区重划后,格林现在必须在休斯顿市中心同一名民主党同僚克里斯蒂安·梅内菲(Christian Menefee)展开初选。民调显示,37岁的梅内菲在同选区以大幅优势领先。

北卡罗来纳州第1选区:共和党人争夺一个竞争激烈的席位(3月3日)

北卡罗来纳州共和党人去年重新划分选区,以便更容易击败代表该摇摆州唯一竞争激烈的众议院选区的民主党众议员唐·戴维斯(Don Davis)。

退役陆军上校劳里·巴克豪特(Laurie Buckhout)在2024年以不到2个百分点的差距输给了戴维斯,她是五位角逐共和党提名以在秋季挑战戴维斯的候选人之一。如果巴克豪特获胜,将预示着一场激烈的大选;而如果一名名不见经传的候选人爆冷获胜,则可能帮助戴维斯保住席位。

北卡罗来纳州第4选区:民主党人重演对决(3月3日)

北卡罗来纳州研究三角区的一场重演对决可能揭示民主党是否向左翼转变。现任众议员瓦莱丽·富西(Valerie Foushee)正面临达勒姆县专员妮达·阿拉姆(Nida Allam)的挑战,后者是该州首位穆斯林民选官员,得到了正义民主党(Justice Democrats)和工人家庭党(Working Families Party)等进步组织的支持。这些组织也在挑战其他现任民主党人,称他们在对抗特朗普方面做得不够。

富西在2022年以9个百分点的优势击败了阿拉姆。

佐治亚州第14选区:填补格林的空缺(3月10日)

填补前共和党众议员玛乔丽·泰勒·格林(Marjorie Taylor Greene)空缺的竞选暴露了特朗普支持者内部的分歧。佐治亚州这个极保守的北部角落有15名候选人角逐该席位,而特朗普对前地区检察官克莱·富勒(Clay Fuller)的支持未能让其他候选人退出。富勒誓言要摒弃格林的好斗风格,专注于经济发展,但其他候选人如前州参议员科尔顿·摩尔(Colton Moore)则将自己描绘成总统更忠诚的支持者。

伊利诺伊州第9选区:民主党候选人众多(3月17日)

16名民主党人正在争夺一个包含芝加哥北部及附近几个郊区的空缺席位。主要候选人包括凯特·阿布哈扎莱赫(Kat Abughazaleh),她是一名进步派巴勒斯坦裔社交媒体影响者,因10月的一次移民抗议面临刑事指控;埃文斯顿市长丹·比斯(Dan Biss),得到即将卸任的现任议员简·沙科斯基(Jan Schakowsky)的支持;以及州参议员劳拉·法恩(Laura Fine)。

肯塔基州第4选区:特朗普试图罢免一名共和党异议者(5月19日)

特朗普希望罢免他在国会最著名的共和党批评者之一——肯塔基州众议员托马斯·马西(Thomas Massie),后者去年投票反对特朗普标志性的税收和支出法案,并推动公开数百万份已故性犯罪者杰弗里·爱泼斯坦(Jeffrey Epstein)的政府文件。

特朗普去年鼓励退役海豹突击队成员埃德·加林(Ed Gallrein)竞选该席位,并在其参选前就给予了支持。马西是一名麻省理工学院毕业的自由意志主义者,自2012年起代表肯塔基州北部选区,此后每次初选都以压倒性优势获胜。

WASHINGTON, March 2 (Reuters) – Republicans in the U.S. House of Representatives will defend a narrow majority in the November midterm elections, while Democrats hope to pick up enough seats to win control of the chamber, which would give them the power to investigate President Donald Trump’s administration.

Voters will select candidates in party primary elections over the next several months. Some of these races could provide clues about the direction of each party and the competitiveness of the overall election.

Here are some races to watch in the coming months:

TEXAS 23RD DISTRICT: A SCANDAL-TARRED INCUMBENT VS. A RIGHT-WING INFLUENCER (MARCH 3)

Republican Representative Tony Gonzales is battling a late-breaking scandal as he tries to hold off a challenge from right-wing YouTube personality Brandon Herrera.

Local media have published text messages indicating Gonzales had an affair with a staffer who died by suicide last year. Gonzales faces an ethics investigation in Congress and several of his colleagues have called on him to resign. He has denied wrongdoing, but the allegations will not help his primary battle with Herrera, who came within 350 votes of unseating him in the 2024 primary.

Herrera, a gun company owner who calls himself “the AK Guy,” has joked about veteran suicide and the Holocaust on his YouTube channel. The sprawling district, which stretches from San Antonio to El Paso, is solidly Republican, but analysts say it could potentially become competitive in November.

TEXAS 2ND DISTRICT: THE RIGHT TARGETS A VETERAN (MARCH 3)

Republican Representative Dan Crenshaw, a combat veteran who lost an eye in Afghanistan, has a solidly conservative track record but has been targeted by right-wing media for his support of Ukraine and his vote to certify Trump’s 2020 election defeat. He is the only Republican House incumbent in Texas not to win Trump’s endorsement this time.

Crenshaw is being challenged by Steve Toth, an ordained pastor who is one of the most conservative members of the Texas Legislature. If he unseats Crenshaw, that would send a warning to other Republicans who occasionally break with Trump.

TEXAS 21ST DISTRICT: TEIXEIRA AT THE PLATE (MARCH 3)

Former Major League Baseball star Mark Teixeira is the front-runner in a crowded field to fill an empty seat representing the Hill Country between Austin and San Antonio. Teixeira won a World Series ring with the New York Yankees but has never held elected office. He is backed by Trump, Texas Governor Greg Abbott, and several senior House Republicans. But with more than 10 candidates vying for the Republican nomination, Teixeira may not clear 50%, setting up a May 26 runoff.

TEXAS 15TH DISTRICT: THE SINGER VERSUS THE EMERGENCY ROOM DOCTOR (MARCH 3)

Democrats are excited about the candidacy of Bobby Pulido, a Tejano music star hoping to oust incumbent Republican Representative Monica De La Cruz. But he faces a tough challenge from fellow Democrat Ada Cuellar, an emergency-room doctor who is arguing that Pulido does not support abortion rights strongly enough. Pulido says he is personally opposed to abortion but thinks it should be legal.

TEXAS 18TH DISTRICT: AL GREEN’S SWAN SONG? (MARCH 3)

Democratic Representative Al Green has served in Congress since 2005, but he’s perhaps best known for literally standing up to Trump – most recently during last week’s State of the Union speech, when he was escorted out of the chamber for holding a sign that said “Black people aren’t apes” in a protest of a racist video Trump’s White House had posted.

Green’s career might soon come to an end, as Democratic voters have pressured aging leaders to step aside after former President Joe Biden’s ill-fated 2024 reelection bid.

After a Republican-led redistricting, Green now must win a primary against fellow Democratic Representative Christian Menefee in the same downtown Houston district. Polls show Menefee, 37, leading by a wide margin.

NORTH CAROLINA 1ST DISTRICT: REPUBLICANS VIE FOR A COMPETITIVE SEAT (MARCH 3)

Republicans in North Carolina redrew their districts last year to make it easier to defeat Democratic Representative Don Davis, who represents the only competitive House district in the swing state.

Retired Army Colonel Laurie Buckhout, who lost to Davis by less than 2 points in 2024, leads a field of five Republicans who are squaring off for the chance to take on Davis in the fall. A Buckhout victory would point toward a competitive general election race, while an upset by one of the lesser-known candidates could help Davis hang on.

NORTH CAROLINA 4TH DISTRICT: A DEMOCRATIC REMATCH (MARCH 3)

A rematch in North Carolina’s Research Triangle could provide a clue about whether the Democratic Party is shifting left. Incumbent Representative Valerie Foushee faces a challenge from Durham County Commissioner Nida Allam, the first Muslim elected official in the state, who is backed by progressive groups like Justice Democrats and the Working Families Party. Those groups are also mounting challenges to other sitting Democrats who they say are not doing enough to fight Trump.

Foushee defeated Allam by 9 percentage points in 2022.

GEORGIA 14TH DISTRICT: FILLING MTG’S SHOES (MARCH 10)

The race to fill the seat vacated by former Republican Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene has exposed divisions in Trump’s base. Some 15 candidates are running for the seat in this deeply conservative northern corner of Georgia, and Trump’s endorsement of former district attorney Clay Fuller has failed to clear the field. Fuller has vowed to move past Greene’s combative style and focus on economic development, but other candidates like former state Senator Colton Moore have portrayed themselves as more loyal supporters of the president.

ILLINOIS 9TH DISTRICT: A CROWDED FIELD FOR DEMOCRATS (MARCH 17)

Sixteen Democrats are running to fill an empty seat in a district that includes the northern reaches of Chicago and several nearby suburbs. Leading candidates include Kat Abughazaleh, a progressive Palestinian-American social media influencer who faces criminal charges stemming from an immigration protest in October; Evanston Mayor Dan Biss, who is endorsed by the retiring incumbent Jan Schakowsky; and state Senator Laura Fine.

KENTUCKY 4TH DISTRICT: TRUMP TRIES TO OUST A REPUBLICAN DISSIDENT (MAY 19)

Trump hopes to oust one of his most prominent Republican critics in Congress, Representative Thomas Massie of Kentucky, who voted against Trump’s signature tax and spending bill last year and led the drive to release millions of government files on the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

Trump encouraged retired Navy SEAL Ed Gallrein to run for the seat last year and endorsed him even before he entered the race. Massie, an MIT-trained libertarian, has represented the northern Kentucky district since 2012 and has won every primary by lopsided margins since then.
