据决策办公室（Decision Desk HQ）预测，参议员埃德·马基（D-马萨诸塞州）将赢得连任竞选，并在上议院任职13年后继续其参议员生涯。
Sen. Ed Markey (D-Mass.) is projected to win his reelection campaign and continue his Senate career after 13 years in the upper chamber, according to Decision Desk HQ.
80岁的马基击败了共和党挑战者约翰·迪顿，后者是一名律师和海军陆战队退伍军人。
Markey, age 80, defeated Republican challenger John Deaton, an attorney and Marine Corps veteran.
在这场在坚定的蓝州取得的胜利中，马基获得了他在参议院的第三个任期，他在参议院的工作重点放在气候变化、健康、教育和经济问题上。马基在国会的总任职时间已达50年。
The victory in the solid blue state gives Markey his third term in the Senate, where he has centered his work on climate change, health, education and economic issues. In total, Markey has served in Congress for 50 years.
这场胜利也发生在马基与民主党挑战者、众议员塞思·莫尔顿之间一场引人注目的初选之后，莫尔顿曾试图以马基的年龄为由将其击败，但未能成功。
The win also came after a headline-grabbing primary between Markey and Democratic challenger Rep. Seth Moulton, who targeted Markey’s age in a failed effort to oust him.
在初选获胜后，马基表示，他的胜利得益于年轻进步派，并且这将是他最后一次竞选公职。
In his primary win, Markey said his victory was made possible by young progressives and that this would be his last time running for office.
“今晚证明了我们国家进步运动的力量，”马基在初选获胜演说中表示。
“Tonight is a testament to the power of the progressive movement of our nation,” Markey said in his primary victory speech.
“这是一场由年轻人推动的进步运动，他们要求领导人做得更多，而正是你们的声音是我们现在需要倾听的。”
“It is a progressive movement fueled by young people demanding more from their leaders, and it’s your voices that are the ones we need to hear right now.”
马基在大选中的获胜并不令人意外，因为马萨诸塞州上一次选举共和党参议员是在2010年，此前的民调也显示他远远领先于迪顿。
Markey’s win in the general election does not come as a surprise as the last time Massachusetts elected a Republican senator was in 2010 and previous polls showed him vastly ahead of Deaton.
