5月13日（路透社）——美国媒体周三预测，丹尼斯·鲍威尔已赢得内布拉斯加州第二国会选区空缺席位的民主党提名。
这个位于奥马哈的国会席位是民主党在2026年11月选举中最有望拿下共和党把持席位的目标之一，而此次选举关乎国会控制权的争夺。

鲍威尔将迎战共和党提名候选人、奥马哈市议员布林克尔·哈丁，后者在共和党初选中无对手参选。
内布拉斯加州通常支持共和党候选人，但奥马哈所在的国会选区政治倾向正转向民主党。2024年，唐纳德·特朗普以20.5个百分点的优势赢得该州全民投票，但民主党人卡玛拉·哈里斯当年以4.6个百分点的优势拿下了该选区。
该选区是哈丁在全国范围内拿下的三个共和党现任议员把持的选区之一。现任共和党众议员唐·培根即将退休，因此该席位成为民主党眼中的核心争夺目标。
美国众议院目前共和党以217票对212票占据微弱多数，另有5个席位空缺。
民主党需要在11月的中期选举中净赢3个席位，才能在特朗普任期的最后两年拿下众议院控制权。

Denise Powell wins Democratic nomination for open Nebraska House seat, US media projects
May 14, 2026 12:25 AM UTC / Reuters
May 13 (Reuters) – Denise Powell won the Democratic nomination for an open seat in Nebraska’s 2nd Congressional District, U.S. media projected on Wednesday.
The Omaha-based seat is one of Democrats’ best opportunities to win a Republican-held seat in the 2026 November elections, in which control of Congress is at stake.

Powell will face Brinker Harding, an Omaha city councilman who ran uncontested for the Republican nomination.
Nebraska typically backs Republican candidates, but the Omaha-area district has been trending Democratic. President Donald Trump won the statewide popular vote in 2024 by 20.5 percentage points, but Democrat Kamala Harris won the district that year, by 4.6 percentage points.
It is one of three nationwide won by Harris that are currently represented by a Republican. With incumbent Republican Representative Don Bacon retiring, it is a top target for Democrats.
Republicans hold a narrow 217-212 majority in the U.S. House of Representatives, with five seats vacant.
Democrats would need to net three seats in November’s midterm elections to win control of the House for the final two years of Trump’s presidency.
