华盛顿8月18日路透电 — 阿拉斯加、佛罗里达和加州的选民将于周二前往投票站，确定哪些候选人将在11月的国会控制权争夺选举中参选。
以下是五个值得关注的动向：

民主党能否在阿拉斯加找到突破口？
阿拉斯加上一次有民主党人进入美国参议院是在2014年，当时马克·贝吉奇被共和党人丹·S·沙利文击败。如今民主党有机会夺回该席位。
温和派民主党人玛丽·佩尔托拉曾于2022年至2024年担任阿拉斯加州单一联邦众议员席位，她很可能在该州独特的无党派初选中表现足够出色，晋级11月的大选。该州的“排名选择”投票制度可以让她获得独立选民和中间派的支持，提高本党掌控参议院的概率。

沙利文还有一个额外的麻烦：一名同样名为丹·J·沙利文的共和党挑战者也将出现在选票上，选民可能会因此产生混淆。
美国民主社会主义者将目光投向佛罗里达
今年以来，民主党内部温和派与左翼民主社会主义者之间的党内斗争在多个州上演，结果各不相同。如今这场斗争来到了佛罗里达。
获得美国民主社会主义者背书的活动人士奥利弗·拉金，将在覆盖迈阿密以北大片海岸线的第25国会选区的民主党提名争夺战中，对阵温和派民主党众议员贾里德·莫斯科维茨。
曾为进步派参议员伯尼·桑德斯2016年总统竞选工作过的拉金，支持将全国最低工资从当前的每小时7.25美元上调至25美元，同时支持美国民主社会主义者的其他纲领，如“全民医保”。他还呼吁进行结构性改革，比如废除决定美国总统选举结果的选举人团制度，以及结束参议院的超级多数票要求——尽管他在这些改革中不会拥有直接话语权。

首次在该选区参选的莫斯科维茨，作为“问题解决者核心小组”成员，偶尔会与共和党人合作。
黛比·沃瑟曼·舒尔茨能否在重划选区后保住席位？
佛罗里达州共和党人今年春季重新绘制了该州国会选区地图，以利于本党，并有望在11月从民主党手中拿下多达四个席位。
他们的目标之一是2004年首次当选美国众议员的黛比·沃瑟曼·舒尔茨。为避免在被重划为有利于共和党人的原有选区落败，她选择转战另一个选区参选。
她将在第20国会选区参选，该选区黑人人口众多，数十年来一直由黑人议员代表。
她的对手包括多名黑人候选人，其中有说唱歌手卢瑟“卢克叔叔”坎贝尔；前众议员希拉·谢尔菲勒斯-麦科米克，此人因涉嫌挪用救灾资金面临刑事指控；进步派活动家伊利亚·曼利；以及曾两次参选该席位的前地方官员戴尔·霍尔内斯。

以色列游说团体再次测试其影响力
加利福尼亚州一场填补众议院空缺席位的特别选举，因围绕以色列在加沙战争中的行为引发的民主党内斗而备受关注。
亲以色列团体美国以色列公共事务委员会正投入巨资，击败阿富汗裔穆斯林州参议员艾莎·瓦哈布。
尽管今年以来输掉了一些竞选，但实力强大的游说团体美国以色列公共事务委员会仍将支持押在了旧金山地区交通系统负责人梅利莎·埃尔南德斯身上。
美国以色列公共事务委员会还希望助力莫斯科维茨在周二的佛罗里达州初选中胜出。
特朗普的影响力在佛罗里达州州长竞风中接受考验
特朗普支持共和党众议员拜伦·唐纳德斯竞选佛罗里达州州长，以接替任期将满的共和党州长罗恩·德桑蒂斯——后者曾多次与特朗普产生争执。
近期民调显示，如果唐纳德斯在周二初选中胜出，那么在11月的大选中，他将与民主党提名胜出的前众议员戴维·乔利展开激烈角逐。乔利此前是共和党人。

What to watch for in Tuesday’s voting in Florida, Alaska, California

WASHINGTON, Aug 18 (Reuters) – Voters go to the polls on Tuesday in Alaska, Florida and California to determine which candidates will run in the November elections when control of Congress is at stake.
Here are five developments to watch:

WILL DEMOCRATS FIND AN OPENING IN ALASKA?
The last time Alaska had a Democrat in the U.S. Senate was 2014, when Mark Begich was defeated by Republican Dan S. Sullivan. Now they have a chance to win that seat back.
Democrat Mary Peltola, a moderate who held the state’s single House seat from 2022 through 2024, is likely to do well enough in the state’s unusual nonpartisan primary to advance to the November general election. The state’s “ranked choice” voting system could allow her to pick up support from independents and centrists, boosting her party’s odds of gaining control of the Senate.

Sullivan has an additional problem: Voters may be confused by a Republican challenger by the name of Dan J. Sullivan who is also on the ballot.
DEMOCRATIC SOCIALISTS OF AMERICA SEES FLORIDA OPPORTUNITY
The intraparty Democratic battle between centrists and left-wing democratic socialists has played out over several states this year, with varying results. Now it is coming to Florida.
Oliver Larkin, an activist endorsed by the Democratic Socialists of America, is facing moderate Democratic Representative Jared Moskowitz in a battle for the party’s nomination in the 25th Congressional District, which covers a swath of coastline north of Miami.
Larkin, who worked for progressive Senator Bernie Sanders’ 2016 presidential campaign, backs a national $25 per hour minimum wage, up from the current $7.25, and other DSA planks like “Medicare for All.” He also is calling for structural changes, such as eliminating the Electoral College, which determines winners of the U.S. presidency, and ending the Senate’s supermajority requirement, though he would not have a direct role in that effort.

Moskowitz, who is running for the first time in this district, works occasionally with Republicans as a member of the Problem Solvers’ Caucus.
WILL DEBBIE WASSERMAN SCHULTZ SURVIVE REDISTRICTING?
Florida Republicans redrew their state’s congressional map last spring to tilt the table in their favor and stand to pick up as many as four seats from Democrats in November.
Among their targets was Representative Debbie Wasserman Schultz, first elected to the U.S. House in 2004, who opted to run in another district to avoid certain defeat in her existing one, which was redrawn to favor Republicans.
She is running in the 20th Congressional District, which has a significant Black population and for decades has been represented by Black members.
Her rivals include several Black candidates, including rapper Luther “Uncle Luke” Campbell; ex-Representative Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick, who is battling criminal charges over alleged theft of disaster relief funds; Elijah Manley, a progressive activist, and Dale Holness, a former local official who has run for the seat twice before.

ISRAEL LOBBY TESTS ITS INFLUENCE AGAIN
A special election to fill a vacant House seat in California is being dominated by Democratic Party infighting over Israel’s conduct of the Gaza war.
The American Israel Public Affairs Committee, a pro-Israel group, is spending heavily to defeat Aisha Wahab, a Muslim state senator who is an Afghan American.
AIPAC, a powerful lobbying group which has nonetheless lost some contests this year, has thrown its weight behind Melissa Hernandez, who heads the San Francisco area transit system.
AIPAC is also hoping to help get Moskowitz across the finish line in Tuesday’s Florida primary.
TRUMP’S INFLUENCE TESTED IN FLORIDA GOVERNOR RACE
Trump is backing Republican Representative Byron Donalds’ bid to become the governor of Florida, succeeding term-limited Republican Governor Ron DeSantis, who has sometimes tangled with Trump.
Recent polling indicates that a Donalds win on Tuesday could put him in a tight November election against ex-Representative David Jolly if he wins the Democratic primary. Jolly is a former Republican.
