摘要
- 丽贝卡·贝内特以领先最接近对手28个百分点的优势赢得民主党初选
- 托马斯·基恩因未公开的健康问题缺席国会，承诺将公开健康状况
- 该选区被视为决定众议院控制权的关键摇摆选区，独立分析师将这场竞争评级为势均力敌
华盛顿6月1日路透电 — 据美国媒体预测，民主党人丽贝卡·贝内特在周二的激烈初选中胜出，将在11月新泽西州第七国会选区的大选中对阵共和党联邦众议员托马斯·基恩。
据美联社报道，在48%的选票完成计票后，贝内特从竞争激烈的候选人阵营中脱颖而出，以领先最接近对手蒂娜·沙阿28个百分点的优势获胜。自3月初以来因不明健康问题缺席国会的基恩则无对手参选。

基恩与贝内特将在11月展开角逐，争夺这个过去八年内两度易主的席位。目前该选区是民主党人争夺众议院控制权的关键目标之一，独立分析师将这场竞争评级为势均力敌。
这个由郊区和小镇组成的摇摆选区从斯塔滕岛延伸至宾夕法尼亚州边界，包含前总统唐纳德·特朗普的贝德明斯特高尔夫球场。2024年特朗普以仅略高于一个百分点的优势击败民主党候选人卡玛拉·哈里斯，拿下该选区。
现年57岁的基恩出身新泽西州知名政治世家。其父托马斯曾担任该州州长近二十年，曾祖父是资深国会议员，他还是新泽西州首任州长威廉·利文斯顿的后裔。近期，基恩因未公开的健康问题缺席了超过100次众议院投票，引发关注。

在投票站关闭数小时前，基恩发布声明承诺将公开自己的健康状况，但将其重返工作岗位的时间进一步推迟。他曾在5月21日表示将在“几周内”回归。基恩称：“目前我专注于康复，根据医疗专业人士的建议，我将在几周内从远程办公转为现场办公。”
现年39岁的贝内特是医疗行业高管，曾是美国海军直升机飞行员，被视为民主党初选的领跑者，筹款表现领先，并获得该选区四个最大县的民主党政党背书。

Summary
- Rebecca Bennett wins Democratic primary by 28 points over closest rival
- Thomas Kean absent from Congress due to undisclosed medical issue, promises transparency on health
- District seen as key toss-up for House control, contest rated a toss-up by independent analysts
WASHINGTON, June 1 (Reuters) – Democrat Rebecca Bennett emerged from a highly competitive primary on Tuesday to take on Republican U.S. Representative Thomas Kean in the November general election in New Jersey’s seventh congressional district, U.S. media projected.
Bennett emerged from a crowded field as the winner with a 28 point-lead over her closest rival, Tina Shah, with 48% of the vote counted, according to the Associated Press. Kean, who has been absent from Congress with a mystery medical issue since early March, ran unopposed.

Kean and Bennett will now square off in November for a seat that has changed party hands twice within the past eight years and now ranks as a key target for Democrats hoping to capture the House of Representatives. Independent analysts rate the contest as a toss-up.
The swing district of suburbs and small towns stretches from Staten Island to the Pennsylvania border and includes President Donald Trump’s Bedminster golf course. Trump carried the district in 2024, edging out Democrat Kamala Harris by just over a percentage point.
Kean, 57, is the scion of a storied New Jersey political family. His father, Thomas, was governor for nearly two decades. His great grandfather was a longtime congressman. And he is descended from the state’s first governor, William Livingston. Most recently, Kean has been prominent for missing more than 100 House votes due to an undisclosed medical condition.

Hours before polls closed, Kean released a statement promising to be transparent about his health but pushing his return to work further into the future, after saying on May 21 that he would be back in “a couple of weeks.” “Right now, I am focused on my recovery and under the advice of healthcare professionals, I will transition from virtual to in person work within a matter of weeks,” Kean said.
Bennett, 39, a healthcare executive and former U.S. Navy helicopter pilot, has been seen as the Democratic frontrunner, with a fund-raising advantage and endorsements from Democratic parties in the district’s four largest counties.
