据决策数据总部（DDHQ）报道，民主党人曼尼·鲁廷内尔预计将击败科罗拉多州第八国会选区的众议员加布·埃文斯（R-Colo.），夺下其席位。
Democrat Manny Rutinel is projected to oust Rep. Gabe Evans (R-Colo.) from his seat in Colorado’s 8th Congressional District, according to Decision Desk HQ (DDHQ).
截至东部标准时间晚上11点18分，DDHQ已统计78%的选票，鲁廷内尔以56%的得票率领先。
Rutinel was leading with 56 percent of the vote, with 78 percent of the total reported by DDHQ as of 11:18 p.m. EST.
鲁廷内尔曾是科罗拉多州州众议员，他翻转了埃文斯两年前才翻转的席位。当选众议员是一名律师，曾任美国陆军工程兵团经济学家。
Rutinel, a former Colorado state representative, flipped the seat that Evans flipped only two years prior. The representative elect is an attorney and former economist for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
通过击败埃文斯，鲁廷内尔将这位被视为本轮选举周期中最脆弱的共和党人之一限制在众议院只任一届。库克政治报告在10月中旬将埃文斯与鲁廷内尔的对决评为“摇摆”。
Through Rutinel’s defeat of Evans, who was considered one of the most vulnerable Republicans this election cycle, he has limited the Republican to a singular House term. The Cook Political Report rated the Evans-Rutinel matchup as a “toss up” in mid-October.
在民主党初选中，鲁廷内尔在大多数问题上与其挑战者、前州众议员香农·伯德大致一致，但移民成为该选举的关键议题。第八选区约有40%的人口是拉丁裔。
During the Democratic primary, Rutinel was mostly aligned with his challenger former state Rep. Shannon Bird on most issues, but immigration became a key issue in the race. About 40 percent of the 8th District is Latino.
鲁廷内尔抨击伯德一年前在委员会投票反对一项旨在限制地方政府将个人身份信息移交给联邦移民执法官员的立法。
Rutinel went after Bird for a committee vote she made a year ago against legislation aiming to limit localities from handing over personal identifying information to federal immigration enforcement officials.
特朗普总统在4月2025年支持埃文斯，他在其Truth Social平台X上的一篇帖子中表示，埃文斯是“代表科罗拉多州第八国会选区出色工作的美国优先爱国者！”“加布·埃文斯获得我完全和全面的连任支持——他绝不会让你们失望！”特朗普当时说道。
President Trump, whose own unpopularity has been an issue in this year’s midterms, endorsed Evans back in April 2025, saying in a post on his Truth Social platform X that Evans was “an America First Patriot who is doing a fantastic job representing Colorado’s 8th Congressional District!”“Gabe Evans has my Complete and Total Endorsement for Re-Election — HE WILL NOT LET YOU DOWN!”Trump said at the time.
