- Analilia Mejia在拥挤的新泽西州竞选中领跑民主党初选
- Mejia将在4月特别选举中对阵乔·哈塔韦
- 民主党人旨在缩小共和党在美国众议院的多数优势
华盛顿，2月10日（路透社） – 前美国众议员汤姆·马林诺夫斯基（Tom Malinowski）周二上午在电话中向安娜利娅·梅希亚（Analilia Mejia）祝贺其赢得民主党提名，承认这场自周四选举以来一直胶着的竞选。
根据周二上午最新计票结果，梅希亚以近900票的优势领先马林诺夫斯基。梅希亚曾是美国参议员伯尼·桑德斯（Bernie Sanders）2020年总统竞选的全国政治主任。

新泽西州北部选民选择梅希亚作为民主党候选人，以填补美国众议院的一个空缺席位，这使她成为两个月内当选国会议员的热门人选。
梅希亚作为进步派“局外人”参加竞选，在新泽西州第11选区的10名民主党候选人中脱颖而出，以微弱优势击败马林诺夫斯基。该席位此前由温和派民主党人米基·谢里尔（Mikie Sherrill）担任，她在11月当选州长后退出了众议院。
梅希亚将在4月16日的特别选举中对阵兰道夫镇委员会成员乔·哈塔韦（Joe Hathaway），后者在共和党初选中无人反对。两人将角逐谢里尔剩余任期至2027年初的席位。
马林诺夫斯基表示：“向华盛顿派出一名民主党人填补这一席位至关重要，而非（唐纳德）特朗普的橡皮图章。安娜利娅在竞选活动中展现出的积极态度以及在选举日激励众多选民的表现，值得我们明确赞扬和肯定。”
民主党候选人被看好能赢得该选区，前副总统卡玛拉·哈里斯（Kamala Harris）在2024年总统选举中以近9个百分点的优势赢得该选区。
众议院共和党人以218-214的多数席位领先，这意味着在民主党统一反对的情况下，他们仅能以一票之差通过立法。
新泽西州的民主党胜选将进一步缩小共和党多数优势。然而，共和党人被看好在3月10日佐治亚州和8月4日加利福尼亚州的两场特别选举中赢得两个空缺席位，从而将多数优势扩大两个席位。
进步派支持梅希亚；外部团体针对马林诺夫斯基
梅希亚获得了国会山多位进步派领袖的支持，包括桑德斯、参议员伊丽莎白·沃伦（Elizabeth Warren）和众议员亚历山德里娅·奥卡西奥-科尔特斯（Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez）。
一个支持以色列的超级政治行动委员会（super PAC）花费230万美元反对马林诺夫斯基，后者表示不排除对以色列的外援附加条件。
其他主要候选人包括前副州长塔赫莎·韦（Tahesha Way）和埃塞克斯县专员布伦丹·吉尔（Brendan Gill）。
如果梅希亚在4月当选，她将再次出现在6月的州初选选票上，以角逐民主党在大选中的全两年任期提名。
曾针对马林诺夫斯基的支持以色列超级政治行动委员会“联合民主党”上周表示，这场竞选结果“是预期中的可能性”，并暗示将在6月投入更多资金击败梅希亚。
该组织在一份声明中称：“我们的重点仍然是选出谁将在下一个完整任期内服务国会。”
11月的中期选举将决定特朗普任期最后两年中，哪个政党控制众议院和参议院。

WASHINGTON, Feb 10 (Reuters) – Former U.S. Representative Tom Malinowski congratulated Analilia Mejia for winning the Democratic nomination in a phone call on Tuesday morning, conceding a race that has been too close to call since Thursday’s election.
Mejia, national political director of U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders’ 2020 presidential campaign, leads Malinowski by nearly 900 votes in Tuesday morning’s latest tally.

Voters in northern New Jersey chose Mejia as the Democratic nominee to fill a vacant seat in the U.S. House of Representatives, making her the favorite to be elected to Congress in two months.

Mejia, who ran as a progressive outsider, prevailed over 10 other Democrats in the crowded field in New Jersey’s 11th District, finishing narrowly ahead of Malinowski. The seat was previously held by Mikie Sherrill, a moderate Democrat who left the House after she was elected governor in November.
Mejia will face Randolph Township Councilman Joe Hathaway, who ran unopposed for the Republican nomination, in the April 16 special election to serve the remainder of Sherrill’s term through early 2027.
“It is essential that we send a Democrat to Washington to fill this seat, not a rubber stamp for (President Donald) Trump,” Malinowski said. “Analilia deserves unequivocal praise and credit for running a positive campaign and for inspiring so many voters on Election Day.”

The Democratic candidate is favored to win the district, which former Vice President Kamala Harris carried in the 2024 presidential election by nearly 9 points.
House Republicans hold a 218-214 majority, which means they can spare only one vote to pass legislation over united Democratic opposition.
A Democratic victory in New Jersey would give Republicans an even narrower margin. However, Republicans are favored to fill two vacant seats in special elections in Georgia on March 10 and California on August 4, which would expand their majority by two seats.
PROGRESSIVES BACKED MEJIA; OUTSIDE GROUP TARGETED MALINOWSKI
Mejia earned the backing of leading progressives on Capitol Hill, including Sanders, Senator Elizabeth Warren and Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
A pro-Israel super PAC spent $2.3 million opposing Malinowski, who said he would not rule out placing conditions on foreign aid to Israel.
Other top candidates included former Lieutenant Governor Tahesha Way and Essex County Commissioner Brendan Gill.
If Mejia is elected in April, she will be on the ballot again for the state’s June 2 primary to be the Democratic nominee in the general election for a full two-year term.
United Democracy Project, the pro-Israel super PAC that targeted Malinowski, said last week that the race’s outcome “was an anticipated possibility” and signaled it would spend more money to defeat Mejia in June.
“Our focus remains on who will serve the next full term in Congress,” the group said in a statement.
November’s midterm elections will determine which party controls the House and Senate for the final two years of Trump’s term.
