据媒体预测，民主党参议员乔恩·奥索夫周二在佐治亚州赢得连任，击败了获得唐纳德·特朗普总统背书的共和党联邦众议员迈克·柯林斯，为本党在争夺参议院控制权的斗争中保住了一个关键席位。
Senator Jon Ossoff wins reelection, holding Georgia for Democrats By Nolan D. McCaskill WASHINGTON, Nov 3 - Democratic Senator Jon Ossoff won reelection in Georgia on Tuesday, according to media projections, defeating President Donald Trump-backed Republican US Representative Mike Collins and preserving a crucial seat in his party’s battle for Senate control.
奥索夫在全美最具竞争力的参议院竞选之一中获胜，该州在2024年大选中特朗普以2个百分点的优势获胜，这凸显了民主党捍卫关键摇摆州的能力。
Ossoff triumphed in one of the nation’s most competitive Senate races in a state Trump carried by 2 percentage points in 2024, underscoring Democrats’ ability to defend a key battleground.
奥索夫被广泛视为2028年潜在总统候选人，其筹款额比柯林斯多出1.26亿美元；柯林斯在经历三方共和党初选和决选后，获得了1800万美元的外部团体支出支持。
Ossoff, widely seen as a potential 2028 presidential candidate, raised $126 million more than Collins, who was backed by $18 million in outside spending after fighting through a three-way Republican primary and runoff.
特朗普背书柯林斯，而非获得即将卸任的共和党州长布赖恩·坎普背书的前大学橄榄球教练德里克·杜利。
Trump endorsed Collins over former college football coach Derek Dooley, who was backed by outgoing Republican Governor Brian Kemp.
在周二选举前，共和党以53比47掌握参议院多数，民主党需要净增四个席位才能夺回控制权。
Republicans held a 53-47 Senate majority going into Tuesday’s elections, with Democrats needing a net gain of four seats to take control.
民主党通往参议院多数的最容易路径要求该党守住特朗普获胜的佐治亚州和密歇根州席位，并翻转共和党把持的缅因州和北卡罗来纳州席位，以及至少再赢下特朗普在2024年以两位数优势获胜的其他两个州，如俄亥俄州、阿拉斯加州、爱荷华州、得克萨斯州等。
Democrats' easiest path to a Senate majority requires the party to hold seats in Trump-won Georgia and Michigan and flip Republican-held seats in Maine and North Carolina, as well as at least two other states that Trump won by double digits in 2024, such as Ohio, Alaska, Iowa, Texas and others.
