一名前拜登政府助手刚刚在马萨诸塞州一场竞争激烈的初选中胜出，为他在11月顺利进入美国众议院铺平了道路。
丹·科赫在六名候选人中脱颖而出，将接替民主党马萨诸塞州众议员塞思·莫尔顿。莫尔顿此前以参议员候选人身份挑战现任民主党马萨诸塞州参议员埃德·马基失败，已于周二晚间结束其众议院任期。
科赫获得了前总统乔·拜登和前副总统卡玛拉·哈里斯的背书，考虑到他曾在白宫任职，这一结果并不意外。他最初以时任劳工部长马蒂·沃尔什的幕僚长身份加入政府，后来升任总统副助理兼白宫政府间事务办公室副主任。

但此次周二 primaries 获胜并非科赫首次参选国会。2018年，他在马萨诸塞州相邻的第3国会选区民主党初选中以微弱劣势输给了民主党众议员洛里·特拉汉。
科赫的竞选纲领以进步派承诺为核心，包括废除“特朗普时期的移民海关执法局（ICE）”以及推行全民医保。
他即将在第6国会选区接替莫尔顿，该选区涵盖马萨诸塞州东北部，被评为安全蓝营席位。

莫尔顿的参议员竞选充满了与马基的激烈初选对决，现年80岁的马基是进步派代表人物，自2013年起担任参议员。
47岁的莫尔顿以“代际变革”为竞选口号，辩称马基早已错失实质性改善马萨诸塞州民众生活的机会，但这一策略未能帮助他在周二的初选中胜出。

Biden-Harris favorite gets second shot at Congress, beats Squad-backed candidate
Dan Koh, backed by Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, beat five rivals to replace Seth Moulton in the safe blue seat

A former Biden administration aide just won a crowded primary race in Massachusetts, setting up a glide path to the House of Representatives come November.
Dan Koh came out first among six candidates to replace Rep. Seth Moulton, D-Mass., who ended his House tenure with a failed run for Senate against incumbent Sen. Ed Markey, D-Mass., that came to a conclusion Tuesday night.
Koh had the backing of both former President Joe Biden and former Vice President Kamala Harris, which was no surprise after his stint working in the White House. He first joined the administration as chief of staff to then-Labor Secretary Marty Walsh and later became deputy assistant to the president and deputy director of the White House Office of Intergovernmental Affairs.

But his successful Tuesday primary is not the first time Koh ran for Congress. He narrowly lost the Democratic nomination in Massachusetts’ nearby 3rd Congressional District to Rep. Lori Trahan, D-Mass., in 2018.
Koh is running on progressive campaign promises like abolishing “Trump’s ICE” referring to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and universal healthcare.
He’s now poised to succeed Moulton in the 6th Congressional District, which includes the northeastern portion of Massachusetts and is rated a safe blue seat.

His campaign for Senate has been marked by a bitter primary battle against Markey, an 80-year-old progressive who has been in office since 2013.
Moulton, 47, ran his campaign based on generational change and arguing that Markey had long missed his chance to substantively make life better for Massachusetts residents, but that wasn’t enough to stave him off Tuesday.
