据美国《国会山报》报道，民主党人扎克·登博（Zach Dembo）预计将赢得肯塔基州第6国会选区，为民主党赢得一个共和党持有的席位，取得重大胜利。登博是一名海军退伍军人和前联邦检察官。
Democrat Zach Dembo, a Navy veteran and former federal prosecutor, is projected to win Kentucky’s 6th Congressional District, according to Decision Desk HQ (DDHQ), flipping a Republican-held seat in a major pickup for Democrats.
据Decision Desk HQ（DDHQ）预测，登博以55%对41%的得票率领先共和党候选人拉尔夫·阿尔瓦拉多（Ralph Alvarado）14个百分点。截至东部标准时间晚上9点07分，DDHQ已统计92%的选票。
Dembo was leading by 14 percentage points — 55 percent to Republican Ralph Alvarado's 41 percent — with 92 percent of the vote reported by DDHQ as of 9:07 p.m. EST. Dembo defeated Alvarado, a former Kentucky state senator and physician endorsed by President Trump, in the race to succeed Rep. Andy Barr (R-Ky.), who opted to run for the Senate.
登博击败了阿尔瓦拉多，后者是前肯塔基州参议员、医生，并获得特朗普总统的背书。这场竞选是为了接替众议员安迪·巴尔（Andy Barr，共和党-肯塔基州）的席位，巴尔选择参选参议员。
The victory marks the first time a Democrat has won the central Kentucky seat since former Rep. Ben Chandler (D-Ky.), who lost his reelection bid to Barr in 2012.
这场胜利标志着，自前众议员本·钱德勒（Ben Chandler，民主党-肯塔基州）在2012年连败于巴尔的竞选中落败以来，民主党首次赢得中肯塔基州的这个席位。
The district, which includes Lexington and parts of central Kentucky, was initially expected to remain safely in Republican hands. Trump carried it by roughly 15 percentage points in 2024, while Barr won reelection that year by more than 26 points.
该选区包括列克星敦和中肯塔基州的部分地区，最初预计将稳固地保持在共和党手中。特朗普在2024年以大约15个百分点的优势赢得该选区，而巴尔当年连任时以超过26个百分点的优势获胜。但在选举日前几个月，这场竞选变得越来越激烈。
But the race grew increasingly competitive in the months leading up to Election Day. The nonpartisan election handicapper Cook Political Report moved the contest from “lean Republican” to “toss up” in October as Democrats continued to mount a serious challenge for the open seat.
非党派选举预测机构“库克政治报告”（Cook Political Report）在10月将该竞选从“倾向共和党”调整为“悬而未决”，因为民主党继续对这个空缺席位发起严肃挑战。
Dembo, who has never held elected office, previously served as a Navy JAG officer and as a federal prosecutor. He also spent some time working for Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear (D).
登博从未担任过民选公职，此前曾担任海军军事法官（JAG）军官和联邦检察官。他还曾在肯塔基州州长安迪·贝希尔（Andy Beshear，民主党）手下工作过一段时间。
He chose to resign from his role at the Justice Department under the Trump administration after viewing what he described as a shocking amount of corruption in Washington, D.C.
登博在特朗普政府时期选择辞去司法部的职务，原因是他看到华盛顿特区存在他形容为“惊人数量”的腐败。
The Democrat defeated former Kentucky state Rep. Cherlynn Stevenson and several other Democrats in a crowded May primary.
这位民主党人在5月的拥挤初选中击败了前肯塔基州众议员切尔林·斯蒂文森（Cherlynn Stevenson）以及其他几名民主党人。
Dembo described himself as a “Beshear Democrat,” seeking to build on the crossover appeal of the Democratic governor, who won his reelection bid in 2023 despite the state’s strong Republican lean.
登博自称是“贝希尔民主党人”，希望延续这位民主党州长的跨党派吸引力。贝希尔在2023年赢得连任，尽管该州强烈倾向共和党。
Besehar, who stayed neutral during the primary, endorsed Dembo in the general election and campaigned alongside him in events leading up to the midterm elections.
贝塞哈尔在初选中保持中立，在大选中支持登博，并在中期选举前的活动中与他一同竞选。该竞选活动试图将阿尔瓦拉多与前肯塔基州州长马特·贝文（共和党）联系起来，贝文在连任竞选中败给了贝塞哈尔。阿尔瓦拉多是那张选票上贝文的竞选搭档。登博的竞选活动聚焦于可负担性和问责制，批评特朗普的经济政策，包括关税，同时承诺打击腐败。他还试图通过强调自己的军事服务和执法背景，吸引跨党派选民。
The campaign sought to tie Alvarado to former Kentucky Gov. Matt Bevin (R), who was defeated by Beshear in his reelection bid. Alvarado was Bevin’s running mate on that ticket. Dembo’s campaign focused on affordability and accountability, criticizing Trump’s economic policies including tariffs while promising to fight corruption. He also sought to appeal to voters across party lines by highlighting his military service and law enforcement background.
