周二晚间，两名试图推翻马萨诸塞州联邦参议员埃德·马基的候选人在一场激烈的辩论中展开交锋，就一系列议题进行尖锐抨击。
民主党众议员赛斯·莫尔顿与共和党律师约翰·迪顿围绕总统唐纳德·特朗普、庇护城市政策、以色列以及未出席本次活动的马基本人展开激烈争执。
辩论期间，莫尔顿极力将迪顿与唐纳德·特朗普总统绑定——尽管这位共和党候选人坚称自己从未投票给特朗普，但特朗普在马萨诸塞州这个蓝州依然极不受欢迎。
“你可以说自己是独立人士，可以说你没投给他，但你只会助长他的议程，”莫尔顿说道，他认为派一名共和党人前往华盛顿对马萨诸塞州选民来说是个错误。

作为回应，迪顿表示马萨诸塞州需要像他这样的人来“为美国和工薪阶层挺身而出”。
“‘去他的’共和党。‘去他的’民主党——他们都烂透了。”迪顿说道。
这位共和党候选人还抨击马基缺席周二的辩论，称他“今晚太懦弱，不敢到场”。
莫尔顿为马基辩护，但同时仍呼吁“新一代领导力”。
“他不是懦夫——他是终身公职人员，”莫尔顿说道，“我们应该尊重他的服务。”

1976年首次当选美国众议院议员的马基，在该州最进步的选民中依然很受欢迎。
莫尔顿在民主党初选中的民调中落后于马基，而迪顿则被广泛认为是本次竞选中明显的弱势方。这位共和党人两年前曾在参议院竞选中输给参议员伊丽莎白·沃伦。
在移民问题上，两位候选人在辩论中提出了截然不同的立场。
莫尔顿主张起诉执行特朗普大规模驱逐政策的移民海关执法局官员，而迪顿则表示美国应扩大合法移民渠道，但对非法移民保持“零容忍”。
迪顿还拒绝了废除移民海关执法局的呼吁，称这些呼吁是选举年的“口号”，类似于2020年“defund the police（削减警方经费）”的运动。

在对外援助问题上，迪顿采取强硬立场，称除非能够明确证明援助符合美国和马萨诸塞州居民的利益，否则他不会支持向以色列、乌克兰或其他国家提供额外资金。
他还批评莫尔顿，称这位民主党人曾寻求美国以色列公共事务委员会（AIPAC）的背书，在未获得该背书后又与其划清界限。
与此同时，莫尔顿支持对以色列提供有条件援助，称美国不应盲目支持以色列总理本雅明·内塔尼亚胡。他还表示自己退还了来自美国以色列公共事务委员会的捐款，称该组织的立场近年来已经发生转变。

The two candidates seeking to unseat Massachusetts Sen. Ed Markey sparred during a fiery debate Tuesday night, exchanging sharp attacks on a range of issues.
Democratic Rep. Seth Moulton and Republican attorney John Deaton clashed over President Donald Trump, sanctuary policies, Israel and Markey himself, who did not attend the event.
During the debate, Moulton heavily sought to tie Deaton to President Donald Trump — who remains deeply unpopular in the blue state of Massachusetts — despite the Republican candidate’s insistence that he has never voted for the president.
“You may say you’re independent, you may say you haven’t voted for him, but you’re just going to enable his agenda,” Moulton said, arguing that sending a Republican to Washington would be a mistake for Massachusetts voters.

In response, Deaton said Massachusetts needs someone like him to “stand up for America and working people.”
“‘F’ the Republican Party. ‘F’ the Democrat Party — they all suck.” Deaton said.
The Republican candidate also slammed Markey for skipping Tuesday’s debate, calling him “too much of a coward to be here tonight.”
Moulton defended Markey, while still urging a “new generation of leadership.”
“He’s not a coward — he’s a lifelong public servant,” Moulton said. “We should honor that service.”

Markey, who was first elected to the U.S. House in 1976, remains popular with the state’s most progressive voters.
Moulton trails Markey in Democratic primary polling, while Deaton is widely viewed as the clear underdog in the race. The Republican previously lost to Sen. Elizabeth Warren two years ago in a Senate bid.
On immigration, the candidates offered starkly different positions during the debate.
Moulton advocated for the prosecution of ICE officials who carried out Trump’s mass deportation agenda, while Deaton said the U.S. should expand legal immigration but maintain “zero tolerance” for illegal immigration.
Deaton also rejected calls to abolish ICE, dismissing them as an election-year “slogan” akin to the push to “defund the police” in 2020.

On foreign aid, Deaton took a hardline stance, saying he would not support sending additional funding to Israel, Ukraine or other countries unless it is clearly “proven” to serve the interests of Americans and Massachusetts residents.
He also criticized Moulton, alleging the Democrat sought an endorsement from the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) before later distancing himself after not receiving it.
Moulton, meanwhile, backed conditional aid to Israel, saying the U.S. should not blindly support Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. He also said he returned donations from AIPAC, arguing the organization’s positions have shifted in recent years.
