特拉华州选民周二选出其唯一的美国众议员。现任众议员莎拉·麦克布赖德(D)刚刚完成第一任期,赢得了继任现任参议员丽莎·布伦特·罗切斯特(D)的选举,代表特拉华州唯一的国会选区。麦克布赖德在民主党初选中没有对手。
Delaware voters select their sole U.S. representative Tuesday. Incumbent Rep. Sarah McBride (D) is fresh off her first term in Congress, after winning an election to succeed now-Sen. Lisa Blunt Rochester (D) in the First State's lone congressional district. McBride ran unopposed in the Democratic primary.
麦克布赖德曾在州参议院任职,随后竞选美国众议院,是美国第一位公开跨性别的议员。
McBride, who served in the state Senate before running for the U.S. House, is the country's first openly transgender member of Congress.
约瑟夫·阿尔米尼奥(Joseph Arminio)是一名医生,是麦克布赖德的共和党对手,他在九月的共和党初选中击败商人约翰·韦伦和前候选人厄尔·库珀,领先其最近的对手约15个百分点。
Joseph Arminio, a medical doctor, is McBride's GOP opponent, having won the Republican primary in September against business owner John Whalen and former nominee Earl Cooper, coming in about 15 points ahead of his next-closest opponent.
阿尔米尼奥在竞选期间因在候选人论坛上反复错误称呼麦克布赖德的性别而登上全国头条,在麦克布赖德的反对下被从论坛上移除。民调将在东部时间晚上8点关闭。
Arminio made national headlines earlier in the campaign for repeatedly misgendering McBride during a candidate forum. He was removed from the forum after being warned, over McBride's objections. Polls close at 8 p.m. EST.
