阿肯色州选民周二前往投票站,选出未来六年代表该州的联邦参议员。
Arkansas voters are heading to the polls Tuesday to choose who will represent them in the U.S. Senate for the next six years.
寻求连任的两届现任参议员汤姆·科顿(共和党-阿肯色州)在向来深红的州份参选。自2014年科顿击败民主党人马克·普赖尔以来,自然州一直由两名共和党人代表联邦参议院。然而,共和党面临的强劲政治逆风有可能让该席位陷入胶着,民主党提名人、农民哈莉·肖夫纳发起了强有力的竞选,吸引了一些全国关注。投票于美东时间晚上8点30分结束。
Two-term incumbent Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) is seeking reelection in what is traditionally a ruby-red state. The Natural State has been represented by two Republicans in the U.S. Senate since Cotton defeated Democrat Mark Pryor in 2014. However, tough political headwinds for Republicans have potentially put the seat in play, with Democratic nominee Hallie Shoffner, a farmer, waging a vigorous campaign that has attracted some national attention. Polls close at 8:30 p.m. EST.
