华盛顿州讯 —— CBS新闻预测，民主党众议员玛丽·格鲁森坎普·佩雷斯将在华盛顿州第三国会选区赢得第三个任期。
格鲁森坎普·佩雷斯胜选的这个选区，特朗普总统此前曾三次胜出；此次她获胜，彰显了她对党派忠诚的独立态度。随着民主党在全美范围内取得惊人胜利，该党将于明年1月掌控美国众议院。
这位女议员击败了共和党籍州参议员约翰·布劳恩，成功在该州西南角的乡村选区连任。布劳恩是华盛顿州参议院的共和党核心人物，相比格鲁森坎普·佩雷斯之前的对手——极右翼保守派人士乔·肯特，他更偏向主流共和党立场。肯特后来成为特朗普的反恐主管，之后因抗议伊朗战争而辞职。不过，获得特朗普支持的布劳恩也在一些问题上与总统保持距离，包括关税、伊朗战争，以及确认拜登赢得了2020年大选。
尽管格鲁森坎普·佩雷斯在9月帮助共和党在两项按党派划线的程序性投票中过关，此举惹恼了她的民主党同僚，但她的胜选对民主党而言是一个好消息——为了夺回众议院多数席位，民主党需要守住这个竞争极其激烈的席位。
尽管众议院民主党领袖最初将这种“分裂”称为“严重的信任破裂”，“需要严肃回应”，但由纽约州的众议院少数党领袖哈基姆·杰弗里斯掌控的民主党国会竞选委员会（DCCC）仍继续支持格鲁森坎普·佩雷斯。10月，格鲁森坎普·佩雷斯在与DCCC联合投放的广告中表示：“我不向任何政党或总统负责。我向你们负责。”
9月在一场选区活动中，格鲁森坎普·佩雷斯谈及自己偶尔背离党派的举动时，强调了自己对所在社区的忠诚。
“如果我们不能代表选区，不能捍卫正在运营的滨水区、不能捍卫从事贸易的人、不能捍卫‘维修权’、不能捍卫我们的乌克兰同胞，那么我们就没有任何代议制民主可言，”她说，“整个民主制度都是建立在代议制政府的基础之上的。这就是关键所在。”
布劳恩在竞选期间也试图与共和党领导层划清界限。
布劳恩没有直接批评总统处理伊朗战争的方式，但在10月13日的一场辩论中表示：“我不会也不支持一场没有明确目标和明确终点的战争。”
“我认为国会在这件事上负有非常重要的责任——他们应当履行这一责任，”他说。
布劳恩还对国会将自身权力拱手让给总统感到遗憾，尤其是在控制联邦政府开支和宣战权方面。
“我们必须把权力夺回来，”他说。
在关税问题上，布劳恩表示：“对于我们的盟友而言，不加区分地使用关税并无益处，最终会导致制造商和消费者的价格上涨。”他还称政府在移民执法方面的表现“喜忧参半”。
Democratic Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez wins reelection in competitive Washington race

Washington — Democratic Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez won a third term in Washington’s 3rd Congressional District, CBS News projected.
Gluesenkamp Perez’s victory, in a district President Trump has won three times, comes as she’s flexed her independence over party loyalty. Democrats will take control of the House of Representatives in January, with stunning wins across the country.
The congresswoman beat Republican state Sen. John Braun to win reelection in the rural district in the southwestern corner of the state. Braun, the top Republican in the Washington state Senate, was a more mainstream Republican than Gluesenkamp Perez’s prior opponent, far-right conservative Joe Kent, who went on to become Mr. Trump’s counterterrorism chief before resigning in protest over the Iran war. But Braun, who was endorsed by Mr. Trump, also distanced himself from the president on some issues, including on tariffs, the Iran war and affirming that Joe Biden won the 2020 election.
Though Gluesenkamp Perez angered her Democratic colleagues in September by helping Republicans on two party-line procedural votes that were struggling to pass, her win is a relief to Democrats, who needed to hold the highly competitive seat in their quest to retake the House majority.
Though House Democratic leaders initially called the split “a significant breach of trust” that “necessitates a serious response,” the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee — which is controlled by House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries of New York — continued to back Gluesenkamp Perez. In a coordinated ad with the DCCC in October, Gluesenkamp Perez said, “I don’t answer to any political party or any president. I answer to you.”
At a district event in September, Gluesenkamp Perez emphasized her loyalty to her community as she referenced her occasional defections.
“We have no form of representative democracy if we do not represent our districts, if we don’t stand for a working waterfront, if we don’t stand for people working in the trades, if we don’t stand for right-to-repair, if we don’t stand for our Ukrainian countrymen, we have nothing,” she said. “All of democracy is predicated on representative government. That’s the point.”
Braun also sought to put space between himself and GOP leaders during the campaign.
While not criticizing the president directly on his handling of the Iran war, Braun said during an Oct. 13 debate, “I will not and I do not support a war without clear objectives and without a clear ending point.”
“I think Congress has a very important role here — one they should exercise,” he said.
Braun also lamented Congress ceding its powers to the president, especially its control over federal government spending and the ability to declare war.
“We have to take power back,” he said.
On tariffs, Braun said, “with our allies, indiscriminate use of tariffs is not helpful and ultimately lead to an increase of prices for manufacturers and consumers.” He called the administration’s handling of immigration enforcement a “mixed bag.”
