摘要
- 官方结果显示，凯斯得票率57%，基奥霍卡洛尔得票34%
- 该位于檀香山的选区在11月大选中被视为稳固的民主党票仓
- 州长格林也击败挑战者赢得民主党提名
纽约8月9日路透电——选举结果于周六晚间公布，美国联邦众议员埃德·凯斯轻松击退了一名进步派对手的民主党初选挑战，保住夏威夷一个国会众议院席位。
现年73岁的凯斯击败43岁的贾勒特·基奥霍卡洛尔，这是美国民主党政坛动荡的最新战场：资深议员与更激进的新人展开对决。

官方结果显示，凯斯在其所在选区获得57%的选票，而基奥霍卡洛尔得票率为34%。记者周日未能立即联系到两人置评。
另有三人也在角逐这个位于檀香山的选区的民主党提名，该选区向来被视作民主党稳固票仓。
被广泛视为温和派的凯斯自2019年起担任该席位议员，还曾在2002年至2007年间任职众议院。
他在一个关键拨款委员会担任高级职务，并曾辩称，如果他连任失败，夏威夷将获得更少的联邦资金。基奥霍卡洛尔则援引凯斯收到的企业竞选捐款，辩称他已脱离选民。
凯斯的胜选与近期科罗拉多州、肯塔基州和纽约州等州左翼候选人的崛起形成鲜明对比。
在夏威夷另一个国会众议院选区，联邦众议员吉尔·托库达以84%的得票率轻松赢得民主党初选。
自2022年起担任夏威夷州长的乔希·格林也击败了多名挑战者，赢得民主党提名。

Summary
Case wins 57% to Keohokalole’s 34%, official results show
Honolulu-based district seen as safely Democratic in November
Governor Green also beats challengers for Democratic nomination
NEW YORK, Aug 9 (Reuters) – U.S. Representative Ed Case easily fended off a Democratic primary challenge from a progressive rival for one of Hawaii’s congressional seats, election results showed late Saturday.
Case’s victory over Jarrett Keohokalole, 43, marks the latest front of the battle roiling U.S. Democratic politics in which seasoned lawmakers have been pitted against more progressive newcomers.

Case, 73, won 57% of the votes in his district, compared with Keohokalole’s 34%, official results showed. Neither could be reached immediately for comment on Sunday.
Three others had also sought the Democratic nomination for the Honolulu-based district that is seen as safely Democratic.
Case, widely seen as a moderate, has held the seat since 2019, and also served in the House between 2002 and 2007.
He holds a senior position on a key spending committee and has argued Hawaii will attract fewer federal dollars if he is not reelected. Keohokalole highlighted Case’s campaign donations from businesses to argue he has lost touch with voters.
Case’s win stands out from a recent surge for left-wing candidates in states including Colorado, Kentucky and New York.
In Hawaii’s other congressional district, U.S. Representative Jill Tokuda easily won her Democratic primary with 84% of the vote.
Hawaii Governor Josh Green, who has led the state since 2022, also defeated several challengers for the Democratic nomination.
