华盛顿报道 — CBS新闻预测，美国众议院共和党议员戴维·瓦拉达奥在加利福尼亚州第22选区的连任选举中落败。
瓦拉达奥在此次选举中输给民主党人兰迪·维利亚加斯，这意味着他成为因2021年1月6日美国国会大厦骚乱事件投票弹劾特朗普总统后，所有众议院共和党议员中，首位未能连任或宣布退休的人。
瓦拉达奥首次当选众议员是在2012年，2018年民主党翻转超过40个席位并重夺众议院控制权时，他在选举中失利。2020年，他从民主党人手中赢回该席位，随后成为投票弹劾特朗普的10名众议院共和党议员之一。目前仅有两名该派系议员仍在国会任职——瓦拉达奥和华盛顿州众议员丹·纽豪斯，而纽豪斯已宣布退休。
进步派人士维利亚加斯在无党派的决胜党内初选中险胜一名温和派民主党人，得以与瓦拉达奥一同晋级大选。维利亚加斯在初选中的胜选对建制派民主党人而言是一次尴尬的挫败，这些民主党人曾介入中央谷地的选举，意在为该温和派候选人造势。
这场党内初选的争斗发生在一个以拉丁裔居民为主的选区——这一关键选民群体在2024年脱离了民主党阵营——同时正值民主党内部就进步派人士在竞争性选举中的表现展开广泛讨论之际。不过，中期选举前的民调显示，特朗普在拉丁裔选民中的支持率正急剧下滑。
去年，针对共和党在中期推进的得克萨斯州选区重划行动，加利福尼亚州的国会选区地图也进行了重新绘制，使其比2024年的选区划分更有利于民主党。
代表路易斯安那州的众议院议长迈克·约翰逊在9月与瓦拉达奥一同竞选，称这场选举是“美国最重要的三到四场选举之一”，对共和党保住众议院多数席位至关重要。
House Republican David Valadao, who voted for Trump’s impeachment, loses reelection in California
Updated on: November 4, 2026 / 2:42 PM EST / CBS News
Washington — GOP Rep. David Valadao lost his reelection bid in California’s 22nd District, CBS News projected.
Valadao’s loss against Democrat Randy Villegas makes him the last of the House Republicans who voted to impeach President Trump over the Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the U.S. Capitol to lose reelection or announce their retirement.
Valadao was first elected in 2012, but lost in 2018 when Democrats flipped more than 40 seats and won back control of the House. He won the seat back from Democrats in 2020, and went on to become one of the 10 House Republicans who voted to impeach Mr. Trump. Only two remain in Congress — Valadao and Rep. Dan Newhouse of Washington, who is retiring.
Villegas, a progressive, edged out a moderate Democrat in the top-two nonpartisan primary to advance to the general election alongside Valadao. Villegas’ primary win was an embarrassing defeat for establishment Democrats, who intervened in the Central Valley contest to boost the moderate candidate.
The intraparty primary feud played out in a district that is heavily Hispanic — a key constituency that shifted away from Democrats in 2024 — and came amid a broader debate within the Democratic Party over how well progressives could perform in competitive races. But polls leading up to the midterms showed Mr. Trump’s approval ratings with Latino voters were cratering.
California’s congressional map was also redrawn last year in response to Republicans’ mid-decade redistricting push in Texas, making it more favorable to Democrats than in 2024.
House Speaker Mike Johnson, who represents Louisiana, campaigned with Valadao in September, calling the contest one of the “top three or four races in America” in terms of its importance to Republicans keeping the House majority.
