美联社预测，民主党人罗布·桑德当选爱荷华州州长，这是该党在寻求重建其在中西部这个州的政治地位之际取得的一个里程碑。
Sand, auditor for state with strong Trump support, defeats Maha-backed Republican Zach Lahn as Democrats win big Democrat Rob Sand has been elected governor of Iowa, the Associated Press projects, a milestone as his party seeks to rebuild its political standing in the midwestern state.
桑德是现任州审计长，也是爱荷华州唯一一位担任全州性职务的民主党人，他击败了共和党人扎克·拉恩。拉恩是政坛新人，获得了小罗伯特·F·肯尼迪的“让美国再次健康”运动的支持。
Sand, the state auditor who is the sole Democrat holding statewide office in Iowa, triumphed over Republican Zach Lahn, a political newcomer backed by Robert F Kennedy Jr’s “Make America healthy again” movement.
