据哥伦比亚广播公司新闻预测,克里斯蒂娜·博安南周二在爱荷华州第一国会选区民主党初选中获胜,这让她获得了第三次尝试推翻共和党众议员玛丽安妮特·米勒-米克斯的机会。
博安南是爱荷华大学法学教授、前州议员,她击败了政坛新人、医护人员特拉维斯·特雷尔,晋级11月的大选。
这个覆盖爱荷华州东南部的选区向来以势均力敌的选举著称,米勒-米克斯此前均以微弱优势击败民主党对手。
无党派的库克政治报告将这场竞选评级为“势均力敌”,众议院民主党竞选机构民主党国会竞选委员会将其列为11月选举中最有望翻盘的目标选区之一。
米勒-米克斯自2020年以6票的优势当选后,从2021年起开始在国会任职,这是美国历史上票数最接近的众议院选举之一。
2022年米勒-米克斯首次对阵博安南时,以约2万票的较大优势获胜。但在2024年的重赛中,她的领先优势大幅收窄,最终以不到800票的差距赢得第三个国会任期,是当年众议院选举中差距最小的结果之一。
由于票数差距过小需要重新计票,2020年和2024年的选举结果都在选举结束数周后才最终确定。

根据美国联邦选举委员会的最新数据,米勒-米克斯和博安南的手头现金规模相当。
爱荷华州的共和党人掌控着全部四个众议院席位、两个参议院席位和州长职位。爱荷华州民主党人也在州长选举和参议院席位竞选中投入了大量资金,由于参议员乔尼·恩斯特宣布退休,该参议院席位将出现空缺。民主党希望借助全国性的政治环境——包括高油价、伊朗局势以及关税政策的影响——打破共和党在该州的执政优势。
Democrat Christina Bohannan to take on Iowa GOP Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks for third time in key swing district
June 2, 2026 / 9:59 PM EDT / CBS News
Christina Bohannan won the Democrat primary in Iowa’s 1st Congressional District on Tuesday, CBS News projects, giving her a third chance at trying to unseat Republican Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks.
Bohannan, a University of Iowa law professor and former state representative, beat political newcomer and healthcare worker Travis Terrell to advance to the November general election.
The Iowa district, which spans the southeastern corner of the state, has a history of close races, with Miller-Meeks defeating her Democratic opponents by slim margins.
The nonpartisan Cook Political Report has rated the race a toss up, and House Democrats’ campaign arm, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, sees it as one of its top targets to flip in the November elections.
Miller-Meeks has served in Congress since 2021 after winning her 2020 election by six votes, in what was one of the closest House races in U.S. history.
Miller-Meeks won by a much wider margin — about 20,000 votes — in 2022 when she faced Bohannan for the first time. But her lead narrowed considerably during their 2024 rematch, when Miller-Meeks won her third term in Congress by less than 800 votes — one of the narrowest margins that year.
The results of the 2020 and 2024 races weren’t finalized until weeks after the election after the close margins led to recounts.

Miller-Meeks and Bohannan have similar amounts of cash on hand, according to the latest Federal Election Commission data.
Republicans in Iowa control all four House seats, both Senate seats and the governor’s mansion. Democrats in Iowa also invested heavily in the governor’s race and the Senate seat, which will be open since Sen. Joni Ernst announced her retirement. Democrats are hoping that the national environment — including high gas prices, the war in Iran and fallout from the tariffs — will help them break up the GOP’s dominance.
