Today’s installment of campaign-related news items from across the country.
- 随着周三上午的推进，民主党在多场激烈竞争的选战中持续传来利好消息，其中包括内华达州州长选举，现任州检察长亚伦·福特击败现任共和党州长乔·隆巴多，赢得胜利。
- As Wednesday morning has progressed, Democrats have continued to receive some good news about highly competitive races, including Nevada’s gubernatorial race, which state Attorney General Aaron Ford has won, defeating incumbent Republican Gov. Joe Lombardo.
- 相关地，近二十年来，民主党首次将控制全国大多数州长职位。
- On a related note, the Democratic Party will now control a majority of the nation’s governors’ offices for the first time in nearly two decades.
- 民主党在中期选举中还取得了一系列重要的州立法机构胜利，根据民主党立法竞选委员会的统计，成功翻转了12个州立法机构议院的控制权。
- Democrats also scored a series of important state legislative victories in the midterms, flipping 12 state legislative chambers according to a tally from the Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee.
- 在得克萨斯州，民主党自1961年以来首次赢得了该州五个最有权势的民选职位。名单中包括乔恩·罗森塔尔在铁路委员竞选中击败博·弗伦奇，该职位掌管该州石油天然气行业的监管大权，权力巨大。
- In Texas, Democrats won five of the state’s most powerful elected offices for the first time since 1961. That list includes Jon Rosenthal defeating Bo French in the race for railroad commissioner, which is a powerful position that regulates the state’s oil and gas industry.
- 本轮中期选举中有多项值得关注的重要投票议题，其中四项聚焦堕胎权。据MS NOW报道，弗吉尼亚州和内华达州的绝大多数选民支持通过宪法修正案保护生殖权利；在密苏里州，55%的选民反对恢复堕胎禁令——该禁令曾于2024年通过投票议题被选民推翻。例外是爱达荷州，一项堕胎权利议题被否决。
- There were all kinds of important ballot measures worth watching in the midterm cycle, including four focused on abortion rights. As MS NOW reported, sizable majorities in Virginia and Nevada backed constitutional amendments to protect reproductive rights, and in Missouri, 55% of voters opposed reinstating an abortion ban that voters struck down through a ballot measure in 2024. The exception was in Idaho, where an abortion rights measure was defeated.
- 在俄亥俄州联邦参议员选举中，当选民主党参议员谢罗德·布朗即将重返国会山，这距离他竞选连任失利仅两年。他的竞选属于特别选举，与其他中期选举产生的参议院赢家不同，布朗将在12月跛脚鸭会议期间就职，使共和党在本届国会剩余月份中的多数优势缩小至52比48。
- In Ohio’s U.S. Senate race, Democratic Sen.-elect Sherrod Brown is returning to Capitol Hill, just two years after losing a re-election bid. His race was technically a special election, and unlike other Senate winners from the midterms, Brown will take office in December, during the lame-duck session, narrowing the Republican majority to 52-48 in the current Congress’ remaining months.
目前来看，民主党在中期选举中已翻转七个美国参议院席位，但第八个席位可能很快也会随之而来：在密西西比州，民主党人斯科特·科隆目前以43票的优势领先共和党参议员辛迪·海德-史密斯，已统计了96%的选票。周三上午，这位地方检察官对记者表示，当所有选票都清点完毕时，他有信心将成为密西西比州的下一任参议员。
- As things stand, Democrats have already flipped seven U.S. Senate seats in the midterms, but an eighth might soon follow: In Mississippi, Democrat Scott Colom currently leads Republican Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith by 43 votes with 96% of ballots tallied. On Wednesday morning, the local prosecutor told reporters that when the ballots are all counted, he’s confident he will be Mississippi’s next senator.
随着选举周期的尘埃落定，也值得庆祝今年发生的一系列历史性突破，其中包括首位穆斯林裔美国联邦参议员当选（密歇根州民主党人阿卜杜勒·埃尔-赛义德）、首位黑人女性当选州长（佐治亚州民主党人凯莎·兰斯·博特姆斯）、首位美洲原住民女性当选州长（新墨西哥州民主党人德布·哈兰德）、首位美洲原住民女性当选联邦参议员（明尼苏达州的佩吉·弗拉纳根），以及首位公开出柜的男同性恋者当选联邦参议员（新罕布什尔州的克里斯·帕帕斯）。
- And as the dust settles on the election cycle, it’s also worth celebrating a series of historic breakthroughs that happened this year, including the election of the first Muslim American U.S. senator (Democrat Abdul El-Sayed of Michigan), the first Black woman to be elected governor (Democrat Keisha Lance Bottoms of Georgia), the first Native woman to be elected governor (Democrat Deb Haaland of New Mexico), the first Native woman to be elected to the U.S. Senate (Peggy Flanagan of Minnesota), and the election of the first openly gay man to the U.S. Senate (Chris Pappas of New Hampshire).
