美国人在2026年中期选举中选出了首位女性黑人州长，此外还有三名黑人候选人在周二美国各地的州长选举中获胜。在内华达州，民主党人、黑人亚伦·福特目前以超过7万票的优势在州长选举中领先。
这些选举结果分别是：民主党人凯莎·兰斯·博特姆斯在佐治亚州胜选；共和党人拜伦·唐纳尔兹在佛罗里达州胜选；民主党人大卫·克劳利在威斯康星州胜选；民主党人韦斯·摩尔成功连任马里兰州州长。2022年他当选州长时就成为该州首位黑人州长。
算上摩尔，美国历史上此前仅选出过三名黑人担任州长。前纽约州州长戴维·帕特森同样是黑人，他在2008年埃利奥特·斯皮策辞职后出任州长。
周二，当博特姆斯和克劳利的胜选结果被确认后，摩尔接受CBS新闻采访时表示，这些胜利“极为重要”。
“这太激动人心了，因为直到这一刻之前，我是美国唯一的黑人州长。我非常清楚，这个头衔我不想久留，”摩尔说，“在这个国家250年的历史中，我只是第三位当选州长的非裔美国人，而现在，一次选举周期里，我们至少把这个人数翻了一番。我认为这意义非凡，这是一个历史性时刻。”
博特姆斯被称为开拓者的原因不止一个：她将成为美国历史上首位当选州长的黑人女性。她还将成为佐治亚州首位女州长，而目前全美州长办公室中女性人数创下新高，达到17人。
本周三，她在接受《CBS今晨》联合主持盖尔·金采访时表示，得知胜选结果时她正努力不去关注计票情况。
“我戴上耳机准备演讲稿，丈夫躺在我旁边的沙发上，他踢了我一脚，”前亚特兰大市长博特姆斯说，“我问‘怎么了？’他说‘计票结果出来了’。我问‘出来什么了？’就这样我才知道自己赢了。”
唐纳尔兹2020年当选佛罗里达州第19国会选区联邦众议员，如今他将成为佛罗里达州首位黑人州长，也是全美首位当选州长的黑人共和党人。
威斯康星州方面，温和派民主党人克劳利击败了共和党挑战者汤姆·蒂凡尼，这场州长选举的结果在这个全国最摇摆州之一尘埃落定。联邦众议员蒂凡尼是特朗普总统的核心盟友之一。
CBS新闻估计，内华达州的选举仍难分胜负，对阵双方是2018年当选该州总检察长的福特，以及共和党籍州长乔·隆巴多。如果福特胜出，他将成为该州首位黑人州长，也是密西西比河以西地区首位当选的黑人州长。
Black candidates for governor make history with 2026 midterm victories
November 4, 2026 / 1:38 PM EST / CBS News
Americans elected their first Black woman into a gubernatorial role during the 2026 midterms, alongside three other Black candidates who won races for governor around the United States on Tuesday. And in Nevada, Democrat Aaron Ford, who is also Black, is leading in the governor’s race by more than 70,000 votes.
The races culminated, respectively, in victories for Keisha Lance Bottoms, a Democrat, in Georgia; Byron Donalds, a Republican, in Florida; David Crowley, a Democrat, in Wisconsin; and Wes Moore, a Democrat, was reelected to serve a second term as governor of Maryland. He became the state’s first Black governor when he was elected in 2022.
Including Moore, only three Black Americans have previously been elected to serve as U.S. governors. Former New York Gov. David Paterson, who is also Black, became governor when Eliot Spitzer resigned in 2008.
Once Bottoms and Crowley were projected the winners in their races, Moore reflected on their wins to CBS News on Tuesday, calling the victories “incredibly important.
“This is exciting, because up until this moment, I was the only Black governor in America. And I was very clear that that’s a title that I did not want to hold onto for very long,” said Moore. “I’m only the third African American ever elected governor in the 250-year history of this country, and, now, in one cycle, we have at least doubled that number. I just think it’s incredibly important. It’s a historic moment.”
Bottoms has been hailed as a trailblazer for more reasons than one, as she will become the first Black woman elected to a gubernatorial position in U.S. history. She will also be the first woman to serve as governor of Georgia when she joins the ranks of a record-high number of women — 17 — in governor’s offices nationwide.
She told CBS Mornings co-host Gayle King on Wednesday that she had been trying to tune out the results when she learned that she won.
“I had put in my AirPods to work on my speech, and my husband was on the sofa near me, laying near me, and he kicked me,” said Bottoms, a former Atlanta mayor. “I went like, ‘What?’ He said, ‘They called it.’ And I said, ‘Called what?’ And so that’s how I knew.”
Donalds, who served as U.S. representative for Florida’s 19th District after his election to that spot in 2020, is now also slated to become Florida’s first Black governor. He is also the first Black Republican elected governor in the nation.
In Wisconsin, Crowley, a moderate Democrat, defeated Republican challenger Tom Tiffany in the culmination of a governor’s race that played out in one of the country’s most purple states. Tiffany, a U.S. representative, is also one of President Trump’s top allies.
The race in Nevada between Ford, who was elected as Nevada’s attorney general in 2018, and Republican Gov. Joe Lombardo is still a toss-up, CBS News estimates. If Ford wins, he will become the state’s first Black governor and the first Black governor ever elected west of the Mississippi.
