哥伦比亚广播公司新闻预计，获得特朗普支持的商人、政坛新人安东尼·康斯坦蒂诺在周二的共和党初选中击败了更为传统的共和党候选人，将接替纽约州第21国会选区的埃莉斯·斯特凡尼克议员。
康斯坦蒂诺击败了州议员罗伯特·斯马伦，后者得到了州共和党委员会和其他当地共和党官员的支持。斯特凡尼克并未在此次竞选 endorsing（注：原文为endorse，应为背书、支持）。
这个代表纽约上州选区的初选——选区范围从加拿大边境一直延伸到奥尔巴尼北部郊区——竞争愈发激烈，康斯坦蒂诺和斯马伦就竞选期间的言论互相威胁要采取法律行动。在5月的一场辩论后，斯马伦拒绝与对手握手。
可能会让共和党难以保住该席位的一点是，保守党支持了斯马伦。凭借保守党提名，斯马伦已经锁定了11月大选的参选资格。目前尚不清楚他是否计划退出竞选。
在2024年宾夕法尼亚州巴特勒市针对特朗普总统的刺杀未遂事件发生后，康斯坦蒂诺在自己的贴纸公司总部大楼顶上竖起了一块巨型“为特朗普投票”标语牌。特朗普在背书康斯坦蒂诺时提到了这块标语牌。
“安东尼一直是非常棒的支持者，他不顾强烈反对，专门为我竖起了一块颇具‘争议性’的标语牌。标语牌现在还在那儿！”特朗普在真相社交平台上写道，并补充道：“他是个很棒的人，绝不会让你失望！”
这块标语牌并非康斯坦蒂诺为讨好总统所做的唯一举动。去年，康斯坦蒂诺向特朗普赠送了一座7英尺高的青铜雕像，刻画了总统在巴特勒刺杀未遂事件后举起拳头的形象。今年5月，他发布了一首名为《特朗普》的歌曲，歌词中写道：“我走到哪里，人们都爱唐纳德·唐纳德·特朗普。”

自2015年以来一直代表该选区的斯特凡尼克，最初是特朗普第二任期初期选定的美国驻联合国大使人选。但总统后来撤回了提名，称鉴于共和党在国会的微弱多数优势，他需要斯特凡尼克留在国会。斯特凡尼克之后宣布参选纽约州州长，但在特朗普拒绝背书后退出了竞选。
Trump-backed challenger Constantino projected to beat establishment GOP candidate in primary to replace Rep. Stefanik

Anthony Constantino, a Trump-backed businessman and political newcomer, beat a more traditional Republican candidate in Tuesday’s GOP primary to replace Rep. Elise Stefanik in New York’s 21st Congressional District, CBS News projects.
Constantino defeated Robert Smullen, a state assemblymember who had the support of the state Republican Party and other local GOP officials. Stefanik did not endorse in the race.
The primary to represent the upstate New York district, which stretches from the Canadian border to straddling the northern Albany suburbs, became increasingly bitter as Constantino and Smullen threatened legal action against each other over claims made during the campaign. After a May debate, Smullen refused to shake his opponent’s hand.
Potentially complicating the GOP’s hold on the seat is the Conservative Party’s backing of Smullen. With the Conservative Party’s nomination, Smullen had already secured a spot on the November ballot. It’s unclear whether he plans to drop out.
After the assassination attempt against President Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania, in 2024, Constantino put up a massive “Vote for Trump” sign atop his sticker company headquarters. Mr. Trump referenced the sign in his endorsement of Constantino.
“Anthony has been such a Great Supporter that he actually put up a somewhat ‘controversial’ sign, against strong opposition, in my honor. The sign is still there!” Mr. Trump wrote on Truth Social, adding: “HE IS A GREAT GUY WHO WILL NEVER LET YOU DOWN!”
The sign isn’t the only move Constantino made to curry favor with the president. Last year, Constantino presented a 7-foot bronze statue to Mr. Trump depicting the president raising his fist after the Butler assassination attempt. In May, he released a song titled “Trump,” with the lyrics “Everywhere I go, they love Donald Donald Trump.”

Stefanik, who has represented the district since 2015, was initially Mr. Trump’s pick for ambassador to the United Nations at the start of his second term. But the president later pulled the nomination, saying that he needed her to remain in Congress given the party’s razor-thin majority. Stefanik later announced her bid for New York governor, but exited the race after Mr. Trump declined to endorse her.
