亚当·哈马维是一名退休的美国陆军战斗外科医生,也是以色列的尖锐批评者,CNN的决策预测台预测他将赢得新泽西州第12国会选区竞争激烈的民主党初选。

该选区目前由即将退休的众议员邦妮·沃森·科尔曼担任,是一个基础稳固的民主党票仓。哈马维在包括数名州和地方民选官员在内的约十几名民主党候选人中脱颖而出。他成功巩固了进步派的支持,并得到了美国优先政治行动委员会(American Priorities)的助力,这个支持巴勒斯坦的超级政治行动委员会为他的竞选活动花费了超过150万美元。

“有人告诉我们,外人不可能获胜,我们无法参与竞争。好吧,我认为我们做到了,”身为穆斯林、婴儿时期从埃及移民到美国的哈马维在周二晚间对支持者说道,这是其竞选团队分享的讲话文稿内容。“我们共同明确表明,你永远不需要征得许可才能为正义而战。在这个选区的每个角落,我们都建立起了一场由厌倦现状的人们组成的运动。”

哈马维将在11月的大选中对阵共和党人格雷格·梅莱,后者在本党初选中无对手胜出。

在他获胜消息被预测公布之前,批评者重新提起了他与奥马尔·阿卜杜勒-拉赫曼的过往关联。阿卜杜勒-拉赫曼是一名失明的埃及裔神职人员,因1993年世界贸易中心爆炸案相关的煽动阴谋罪被定罪。哈马维曾在该案审判中作为辩方证人出庭。

在一份声明中,竞选团队的一名发言人表示,哈马维“谴责该男子的暴力言论和行为,以及所有暴力、仇恨和恐怖主义——他将始终如此”,并补充道,“这种针对穆斯林和阿拉伯候选人的恶意关联式政治攻击在我国政坛并非新鲜事。”

“作为一名证人,他履行了公民和法律义务,在宣誓下如实作证,并为他在陆军服役期间所捍卫的法律和正义体系做出了贡献。当时,这名男子是当时新泽西州规模极小的穆斯林社区中为数不多的宗教人物之一——他在20岁出头时在宗教场所见过他发言,”该发言人说道,并指出哈马维在阿卜杜勒-拉赫曼被捕后并未与其再有联系。

在哈马维的胜选预测公布后,纽约州共和党众议员迈克·劳勒质疑民主党为何提名一名“1993年世界贸易中心爆炸案的辩方证人”。

“如果在11月当选,国会应全面调查他与恐怖组织的联系,以确定他是否适合任职,”劳勒在X平台上写道。

哈马维的盟友将他的胜选视为对初选期间针对他的攻击的反驳,也是对进步政治的认可。

“哈马维医生以传统方式赢得了这场竞选:比对手更努力地工作,比建制派更善于组织动员,并建立起进步派联盟,将他以人民为先的愿景带给新泽西州的工薪家庭,”正义民主党(Justice Democrats)执行董事亚历山德拉·罗哈斯在一份声明中说道。该组织致力于推选不接受企业超级政治行动委员会捐款的民主党人。

哈马维是本次竞选中最进步的候选人之一——他支持《全民医保法案》,同时支持取消医疗债务和学生贷款债务。他直言不讳地支持巴勒斯坦人,并指责以色列在加沙犯下种族灭绝罪行,目前加沙已有超过7万人死亡。以色列否认了包括联合国一个委员会在内的各方对其在2023年10月7日哈马斯袭击后在加沙的军事行动的种族灭绝指控。

以色列否认了其在2023年10月7日哈马斯袭击后针对加沙的军事行动存在种族灭绝的指控。哈马斯在当日的袭击中造成1200人死亡,并劫持了250名人质。

他还获得了包括参议员伯尼·桑德斯在内的知名议员,以及美国众议院“国会进步核心小组”几名成员的背书。

这位民主党候选人的人道主义工作是其竞选活动的核心内容,尤其是他在2024年和2025年两次前往加沙的医疗任务。2024年,以色列关闭拉法边境口岸后,哈马维和他的医疗同事被困在加沙。在伊利诺伊州参议员塔米·达克沃斯呼吁时任总统乔·拜登协助撤离医疗人员后,他得以被撤离。

这对二人而言是一个轮回——2004年,哈马维在达克沃斯的直升机在伊拉克被击落之后为她实施了手术。达克沃斯认为是哈马维救了她的命,并在其竞选活动启动首日就为他背书。

“陆军退伍军人。前战斗外科医生。新泽西州应得的领导人,”在哈马维的胜选预测公布后,达克沃斯在X平台上写道。

Former US Army doctor Adam Hamawy will win Democratic House primary in New Jersey, CNN projects

  • Adam Hamawy, a retired Army surgeon and sharp Israel critic, will win the Democratic primary for New Jersey’s 12th Congressional District, CNN’s Decision Desk projects
  • Hamawy faces scrutiny over his past association with a cleric convicted in a case related to the 1993 World Trade Center bombing. A spokesperson said Hamawy “condemns that man’s violent rhetoric and actions.”
  • Hamawy garnered endorsements from progressive Sen. Bernie Sanders and several “Squad” members and was boosted by a pro-Palestinian super PAC that spent more than $1.5 million supporting his campaign.

AI-generated summary was reviewed by a CNN editor.

Adam Hamawy, a retired US Army combat surgeon and sharp Israel critic, will win the crowded Democratic primary for New Jersey’s 12th Congressional District, CNN’s Decision Desk projects.

Hamawy led a field of roughly a dozen Democrats, including some state and local elected officials, in the solidly blue seat currently held by retiring Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman. He was able to consolidate support from progressives and was boosted by American Priorities, a pro-Palestinian super PAC that spent more than $1.5 million supporting his campaign.

“We were told that an outsider couldn’t win. That we couldn’t compete. Well, I think we competed,” Hamawy, who is Muslim and immigrated to the US from Egypt as a baby, told supporters Tuesday night, according to a transcript of his remarks shared by his campaign. “Together, we made it clear you never need to ask for permission to fight for justice. In every corner of this district, we built a movement of people who were fed up.”

Hamawy will face Republican Gregg Mele, who ran unopposed in his party’s primary, in the general election in November.

His win comes after critics resurfaced his past association with Omar Abdel-Rahman, a blind, Egyptian-born cleric who was convicted of seditious conspiracy in a case related to the 1993 World Trade Center bombing. Hamawy was called as a defense witness in the trial.

In a statement, a campaign spokesperson said Hamawy “condemns that man’s violent rhetoric and actions, and all violence, hatred, and terrorism — and he will always,” adding that “these bad-faith, guilt-by-association attacks on Muslim and Arab candidates are nothing new in our politics.”

“As a witness, he performed his civic and legal duty to testify truthfully under oath and contribute to the system of laws and justice he defended while serving our country in the Army. At the time, the man in question was one of very few religious figures in what was then a very small Muslim community in New Jersey – he saw him speak in religious settings in his early 20s,” the spokesperson said, noting Hamawy did not have contact with Abdel-Rahman following his arrest.

After Hamawy was projected the winner, Rep. Mike Lawler, a New York Republican, questioned why Democrats nominated “a defense witness in the 1993 WTC bombing.”

“If elected in November, Congress should fully investigate his ties to terrorist organizations and determine whether he is fit to serve,” Lawler wrote on X.

Hamawy’s allies framed his win as a rebuke of the attacks leveled against him during the primary and an endorsement of progressive politics.

“Dr. Hamawy won this race the old-fashioned way by outworking his opponents, out-organizing the establishment, and building the progressive coalition needed to deliver his people-first vision to New Jersey working families,” Alexandra Rojas, the executive director of Justice Democrats, a group that works to elect Democrats who don’t accept money from corporate PACs, said in a statement.

Hamawy was among the most progressive candidates in the race — he supports Medicare for All as well as canceling medical and student loan debt. He is outspoken in his support for Palestinians and has accused Israel of committing genocide in Gaza, where more than 70,000 people have been killed. Israel has denied genocide accusations, including from a UN commission, over its military actions in Gaza following Hamas’ October 7, 2023, attack.

Israel has denied accusations of genocide related to its military campaign in Gaza following Hamas’ October 7, 2023, attack, in which 1,200 people were killed and 250 people were taken hostage.

He also garnered endorsements from prominent lawmakers, including Sen. Bernie Sanders, and several members of “the Squad” in the US House of Representatives.

The Democratic candidate’s humanitarian work has been a central part of his run, particularly his two medical missions to Gaza in 2024 and 2025. Hamawy and his medical colleagues were trapped in Gaza in 2024 after Israel closed the Rafah border crossing. He was evacuated after Illinois Sen. Tammy Duckworth called on then-President Joe Biden to help get the medical personnel out.

It was a full circle moment for the two — Hamawy operated on Duckworth after her helicopter was shot down in Iraq in 2004. She credits him with having saved her life and endorsed his campaign on its first day.

“Army Veteran. Former combat surgeon. The leader New Jersey deserves,” Duckworth wrote on X after Hamawy’s win was projected.
