据Decision Desk HQ预测，民主党候选人丽贝卡·库克将在威斯康星州第3国会选区的众议院选举复赛中击败众议员德里克·范登登（R-Wis.）。库克是一名政治筹款人和服务员。
Democratic candidate Rebecca Cooke, a political fundraiser and server, is projected to beat Rep. Derrick Van Orden (R-Wis.) in a rematch for Wisconsin’s 3rd Congressional District, according to Decision Desk HQ.
两人此前曾在2024年争夺威斯康星州中部和西部的这个摇摆席位。该席位在今年的中期选举中被认为处于脆弱状态。
The two last faced off for the battleground House seat in central and western Wisconsin in 2024. The seat was considered vulnerable in this year’s midterm elections.
库克在周三早些时候100%的选票统计完成后，已获得约52%的选票。范登登获得了近46%的选票。
Cooke has clinched about 52 percent of the vote with 100 percent of the vote reported early Wednesday. Van Orden receieed nearly 46 percent.
特朗普总统在2024年以超过7个百分点的优势赢得了该选区，尽管范登登当年也以约3个百分点的优势赢得了该席位。
President Trump won the district in 2024 by more than 7 points, though Van Orden won his seat by about 3 points that same year.
库克于2月加入了民主党国会竞选委员会的“红转蓝”计划，该计划提供组织和筹款支持。
Cooke was added to the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee’s “Red to Blue” program in February, which offered organizational and fundraising support.
这是一场激烈的竞选，范登登播出了一段针对对手的AI深度伪造竞选视频。
It was a contentious race, as Van Orden aired an AI deepfake campaign of his opponent.
库克作为回应向他发出了一封停止侵权信，并将其在社交媒体上分享。
Cooke sent him a cease-and-desist letter in response, which she also shared on social media.
库克的律师写道，这些视频“破坏我们的民主进程”，并称这是“选民厌倦的那种诋毁行为”。
Cooke’s lawyer wrote the videos “undermine our democratic process” and said it was “the exact kind of mudslinging voters are tired of.”
范登登则以另一段AI生成的深度伪造视频回应，视频中他的对手被描绘成一只穿着美国民主社会主义者组织T恤的红鸟。
Van Orden responded with another AI-generated deepfake video of his opponent as a red bird with a Democratic Socialists of America shirt.
库克致力于将现任议员与特朗普联系起来，特朗普的支持率在选举日前有所下降。
Cooke focused on tying the incumbent to Trump, whose approval rating slumped leading up to Election Day.
在竞选信息中，她关注柴油和化肥价格上涨、医疗保健成本增加以及可负担性问题。
In campaign messaging, she focused on the rising diesel and fertilizer prices, increased healthcare costs and affordability.
伯尼·桑德斯参议员（I-Vt.）在选举前为库克造势，强调她的工人阶级信息。
Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) stumped for Cooke leading up to the election, emphasizing her working-class message.
“选举丽贝卡，你将拥有一位我认为在这场竞选中是美国唯一一位当选的女服务员的人，”桑德斯说。
“Electing Rebecca, you will have somebody who I think in this campaign is the only working waitress to be elected in the U.S.A.,” Sanders said.
库克政治报告最初将该竞选列为“悬而未决”，但在10月下旬将其调整为“微弱领先民主党”。
Cook Political Report initially classified the race as a “toss-up” but shifted it to “lean Democrat” in late October.
