哥伦比亚广播公司新闻预测，共和党众议员戴维·瓦拉达奥将在加利福尼亚州第22国会选区的中期选举中，与进步派候选人兰迪·维列加斯展开角逐。
上周举行的初选让共和党在任议员与两名民主党候选人同台竞技，得票前两名的候选人将晋级11月的大选。在选举结束一周后的周二，维列加斯以微弱优势胜出，被确定为第二名晋级候选人。
温和派民主党议员贾斯米特·贝恩斯未能晋级，这让建制派民主党遭遇尴尬挫败，背后是民主党内部关于政党未来的派系斗争。
去年加州选民批准新的国会选区划分方案，以抵消得州重新划区的影响，这一调整重塑了贝克斯菲尔德周边的第22选区。无党派的库克政治报告将本次选举评级为“势均力敌”。
众议院民主党竞选团队的后期介入为这场选举增添了变数：民主党国会竞选委员会向州议员贝恩斯提供了支持。
此次介入成为民主党内部更大范围争论的最新一例，争论焦点是进步派在竞争性选举中的表现究竟如何。这场争论正在加州中央谷地的这个拉美裔占多数的选区上演——拉美裔选民是关键票仓，他们在2024年已不再支持民主党。
“民主党一直把拉美裔社区当成理所当然的票仓，”拉美裔选民出身的维列加斯近日对哥伦比亚广播公司新闻表示，“他们为拉美裔社区做的既太晚又太少，这次选举就是又一个例证。”
华盛顿州众议员苏珊·德尔贝内担任民主党国会竞选委员会主席，她在周二维列加斯胜出后不久发表声明支持他，称他是“谷地之子”，是“谷地选民理应拥有的、以民众为先的领导人”。
瓦拉达奥于2012年首次当选国会议员，但在2018年以微弱劣势错失连任第四届议员的机会，当时民主党拿下40多个席位，重新夺回众议院控制权。瓦拉达奥2020年再次参选并赢回了自己的旧席位。
如果瓦拉达奥在11月再次胜出，他将成为2021年因国会山骚乱事件投票弹劾特朗普的10名众议院共和党人中，最后一位仍在国会任职的议员。

Republican Rep. David Valadao will run against progressive Randy Villegas in the general election in California’s 22nd Congressional District, CBS News projects.
Last week’s primary pitted the Republican incumbent against two Democrats, with the top two vote-getters advancing to November. Villegas was projected as the second candidate to advance on Tuesday, a week after the election, after a close contest.
Moderate Democrat Jasmeet Bains did not advance, in an embarrassing defeat for establishment Democrats amid an intraparty feud about the party’s future.
The nonpartisan Cook Political Report rates the race as a toss up after California voters approved a new congressional map last year to counter Texas’ redrawn districts, reshaping the Bakersfield-area 22nd district.
A late intervention by the House Democrats’ campaign arm added some last-minute drama to the race when the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee offered support to Bains, a state assembly member.
The intervention became the latest fight in the broader debate within the Democratic Party over how well progressives can perform in competitive races. It’s playing out in a district in California’s Central Valley that is heavily Hispanic — a key constituency that shifted away from Democrats in 2024.
“The Democratic Party has taken Latino communities for granted,” Villegas, who is Latino, recently told CBS News. “Far too late, far too little for Latino communities. And this is just another example of that.”
Rep. Suzan DelBene of Washington, who chairs the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, backed Villegas in a statement shortly after his win Tuesday, calling him “a son of the Valley” and “the kind of people-first leader Valley voters deserve.”
Valadao was first elected to Congress in 2012 but narrowly lost his bid for a fourth term in 2018, when Democrats flipped more than 40 seats and won back control of the House. Valadao ran again in 2020 for his old seat and won.
If Valadao notches another victory in November, he will be the last of 10 House Republicans who voted to impeach President Trump in 2021 over the Capitol riot to remain in Congress.
