得到特朗普背书的艾奥瓦州共和党众议员兰迪·芬斯特拉,已于周二晚投票结束后,在艾奥瓦州共和党州长初选中败给获MAHA支持的共和党人扎克·莱恩。
莱恩是一名农场主兼商人,以“艾奥瓦优先”为竞选纲领,在即将接替卸任的共和党州长金·雷诺兹的竞选中,爆冷击败芬斯特拉。
除芬斯特拉外,莱恩还在竞选中击败了前州众议员布拉德·谢尔曼、前艾奥瓦州行政服务部主任亚当·斯汀以及州众议员埃迪·安德鲁斯,成功晋级11月的大选并有望入主州长官邸。
此次结果对芬斯特拉而言是重大挫折。作为艾奥瓦州第四国会选区议员,他在选举日前是本次竞选中知名度最高的共和党人。芬斯特拉拥有国会履历、筹款优势,获得了包括前州长特里·布兰斯塔德在内的艾奥瓦州知名共和党人的支持,还在选举临近尾声时得到了前总统唐纳德·特朗普的背书。

据美联社选举追踪数据,在东部时间凌晨刚过午夜时,99%的选票已统计完成,莱恩以约1600票的微弱优势领先芬斯特拉。

据艾奥瓦新闻网记者斯凯拉·塔拉尔分享的一段视频录像显示,芬斯特拉在选举夜集会上对支持者说:“我刚刚给扎克·莱恩打了电话,跟他说‘嘿,你得接过这根火炬。我们必须让这个州保持红色。你一定要打败罗布·桑德。’我会全力以赴帮助他。”
特朗普就在初选前几天为芬斯特拉背书,称他“从头到尾都是‘让美国再次伟大’(MAGA)的支持者”,并给出了“完全且绝对的背书”。芬斯特拉以总统亲密盟友的身份开展竞选,强调自己支持特朗普在边境安全、减税、能源生产和农业领域的政策。
而莱恩则以非建制派候选人的身份参选,获得了与“让美国更健康 Again”(MAHA)运动结盟的政治团体MAHA行动的支持。他的竞选官网介绍称,他是一名父亲、农场主兼商人,推行“艾奥瓦优先”议程。

雷诺兹此前宣布虽符合连任资格,但不会寻求连任,此次选举由此拉开帷幕,这是艾奥瓦州自2006年以来首次出现开放的州长竞选。共和党自2011年起掌控该州州长职位。
莱恩将于11月与民主党州审计长罗布·桑德展开对决。桑德是艾奥瓦州目前唯一的民主党全州公职人员,他在民主党初选中无对手直接晋级,其政治形象围绕政府问责和反腐败行动打造。

早期选情评级显示大选将竞争激烈。库克政治报告4月将该选区选情从“倾向共和党”调整为“胜负难料”,而《内部选举》则将该竞选评级为“倾向共和党”。

如果桑德在11月当选,他将成为自切特·卡尔弗2006年获胜以来,首位当选艾奥瓦州州长的民主党人。

Trump-backed Rep. Randy Feenstra, R-Iowa, conceded to MAHA-backed Republican Zach Lahn after the polls closed Tuesday night in Iowa’s GOP gubernatorial primary.
Lahn, a farmer and businessman who campaigned on an “Iowa First” message, pulled off a surprising upset over Feenstra in the race to succeed outgoing Republican Gov. Kim Reynolds.
Besides Feenstra, Lahn beat out former state Rep. Brad Sherman, former Iowa Department of Administrative Services Director Adam Steen and state Rep. Eddie Andrews in his bid to move on to the November general election and eventually the governor’s mansion.
The result marked a major setback for Feenstra, who represents Iowa’s 4th Congressional District and entered Election Day as the best-known Republican in the race. Feenstra had a congressional profile, a fundraising advantage, support from prominent Iowa Republicans, including former Gov. Terry Branstad, and a late endorsement from President Donald Trump.

Lahn had just around a 1,600-vote lead ahead of Feenstra shortly after midnight Eastern Time with 99% of the votes counted, according to The Associated Press’ elections tracker.

“I just called Zach Lahn, and said, ‘Hey, you got to carry this torch. We got to keep this state red. You got to make sure you beat Rob Sand.’ And I’m all in to help him out,” Feenstra said to supporters at his election night gathering, according to a video recording shared by Iowas News Now reporter Skylar Tallal.
Trump endorsed Feenstra just days before the primary, calling him “MAGA all the way” and giving him his “Complete and Total Endorsement.” Feenstra campaigned as a close ally of the president, highlighting his support for Trump’s agenda on border security, tax cuts, energy production and agriculture.
Lahn, meanwhile, ran as an outsider candidate and drew support from MAHA Action, the political group aligned with the Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) movement. His campaign website describes him as a father, farmer and businessman advancing an “Iowa First” agenda.

The race opened after Reynolds announced she would not seek reelection despite being eligible to run again, creating Iowa’s first open gubernatorial contest since 2006. Republicans have controlled the governor’s office since 2011.
Lahn will now face Democratic State Auditor Rob Sand in November. Sand, Iowa’s only Democratic statewide officeholder, advanced unopposed through the Democratic primary and has built a political profile centered on government accountability and anti-corruption efforts.

Early ratings have suggested the general election could be competitive. The Cook Political Report moved the race from “Lean Republican” to “Toss Up” in April, while Inside Elections has rated the contest “Lean Republican.”

If Sand were to win in November, he would become the first Democrat elected governor of Iowa since Chet Culver’s victory in 2006.
