根据决策台总部（DDHQ）的预测，阿拉巴马州联邦众议员肖马里·菲格斯（民主党）预计将在国会山赢得第二个任期，这对共和党是一个重大打击。
Alabama Rep. Shomari Figures (D) is projected to win a second term on Capitol Hill in a major blow to the GOP, according to Decision Desk HQ (DDHQ).
菲格斯在蒙哥马利地区的倾向共和党的第2选区击败了共和党州众议员雷特·马奎斯。
Figures defeated GOP state Rep. Rhett Marques for the red-leaning 2nd District seat in the Montgomery, Ala., area.
在最高法院今年春天恢复2023年地图、重新划定了黑人占多数的选区并让共和党占据上风后，马奎斯原本是获胜的热门人选。DDHQ曾预测该席位“很可能”易主。
Marques was the favorite to win after the Supreme Court reinstated a 2023 map this spring, redrawing the majority-Black district and giving Republicans an upper hand. DDHQ forecasted the seat was “likely” to flip.
全国各地的民主党人抨击了5月的这一裁决，该裁决恰逢最高法院缩减里程碑式的《投票权法案》仅数日之后。
Democrats across the country blasted the May decision, which came just days after the high court narrowed the landmark Voting Rights Act.
菲格斯6月对《国会山报》表示：“我不认为这是我付出的代价，我认为这是我代表的选民、特别是黑人选民付出的代价，因为他们正在失去一个在国会获得合法代表的机会。”
“I don’t view it as me paying the price, I view it as voters who I represent, and Black voters particularly, I think, paying the price because they are having a legitimate opportunity to have representation in Congress,” Figures told The Hill in June.
马奎斯获得了特朗普总统和众议院共和党领导层（包括议长迈克·约翰逊（路易斯安那州））的背书。
Marques notched endorsements from President Trump and House Republican leadership, including Speaker Mike Johnson (La.).
他的失利在共和党寻求通过重划众议院选区以利于己来巩固其在众议院的优势之际，给特朗普和共和党造成了打击。
His loss delivers a blow to Trump and the GOP after the party sought to cushion its margins in the lower chamber by redrawing House districts to favor it.
包括得克萨斯州、佛罗里达州和田纳西州在内的许多州都进行了重新划区，以在2026年中期选举前助推该党。
A number of states, including Texas, Florida and Tennessee, were redistricted to boost the party ahead of the 2026 midterms.
阿拉巴马州的选区界线因法院裁决支持特朗普引发的全国重新划区大战之前确立的地图而发生改变。
Alabama’s district lines were changed due to a court decision in favor of maps established prior to the national redistricting war sparked by Trump.
尽管如此，菲格斯的胜利凸显了民主党的热情，而共和党的支持率正在下降。
Still, Figures's victory underscores Democratic enthusiasm amid Republicans’ souring approval.
这位民主党人于2024年首次当选，此前曾在奥巴马和拜登政府任职。他目前担任交通和基础设施委员会及农业委员会成员。
The Democrat was first elected in 2024, and he previously worked in the Obama and Biden administrations. He currently serves on the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee and the Agriculture Committee.
