华盛顿 — CBS新闻预测，进步派人士威廉·劳伦斯在密歇根州第7国会选区击败了任期仅一届的共和党众议员汤姆·巴雷特。
这场选举是全国最受关注的竞选之一。
巴雷特于2024年首次当选，拿下了兰辛地区的这个共和党占优选区，他是最早与众议院共和党人决裂、投票支持战争权力决议以在未经国会批准的情况下终止与伊朗战争的议员之一。不过，巴雷特今夏仍与特朗普一起参加竞选，并获得了特朗普的背书。
劳伦斯是一名气候活动家，也是“日出运动”的联合创始人，曾是美国民主社会主义者（DSA）成员，他击败了民主党初选中分流选票的两名温和派候选人。劳伦斯表示，他在初选前放弃了DSA成员身份，以便向选区选民“明确表示”他将代表他们。劳伦斯的竞选核心议题是生活成本问题和反对建立数据中心。
巴雷特也以数据中心监管为竞选纲领，但在呼吁暂停数据中心开发的问题上没有劳伦斯走得那么远。巴雷特称相关决定应在地方层面做出。
初选结束后，劳伦斯的旧社交媒体帖子受到审查，其中一条针对温和派前民主党参议员乔·曼钦。CNN报道称，这条2021年12月发布后被删除的帖子内容为：“我们这一代人对所有事情说去你的……赶紧死掉，好让我们能开始行动。”
劳伦斯与过去的旧帖划清界限，包括另一条呼吁削减警察经费的帖子，称这些内容已不符合他当前的信仰。
Progressive William Lawrence beats GOP Rep. Tom Barrett in key Michigan district
November 4, 2026 / 2:47 PM EST / CBS News
Washington — Progressive William Lawrence beat one-term Republican Rep. Tom Barrett in Michigan’s 7th Congressional District, CBS News projected.
The race was one of the most closely watched in the nation.
Barrett, who was first elected in 2024 and flipped the Lansing-area district red, was one of the first House Republicans to break with President Trump and vote on war powers resolutions to end the war with Iran without congressional approval. Still, Barrett campaigned with Mr. Trump this summer and had his endorsement.
Lawrence, a climate activist who co-founded the Sunrise Movement and is a former member of the Democratic Socialists of America, defeated two moderate candidates who split the vote in the Democratic primary. Lawrence said he let his DSA membership lapse before the primary to “make clear” to voters in his district that he would represent them. Lawrence centered his campaign on the cost of living and opposing data centers.
Barrett also campaigned on data center regulations, though did not go as far as Lawrence in calling for a federal moratorium on their development. Instead, Barrett said the decision should be made at the local level.
After the primary, Lawrence’s old social media posts came under scrutiny, including one that was directed at moderate former Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin. The deleted post from December 2021, which was reported by CNN, said, “Our generation says f*** you for everything … Hurry up and die so that we can get started.”
Lawrence distanced himself from past posts, including another in which he called to defund the police, saying they no longer aligned with his current beliefs.
