共和党在今年11月保住众议院多数席位的目标上迈出了重要一步。
一名获得唐纳德·特朗普总统背书的共和党候选人在华盛顿州第三国会选区的丛林初选中脱颖而出，与民主党籍华盛顿州众议员玛丽·格卢森坎普·佩雷斯一同晋级，两人将在今年秋季的大选中正面交锋。
所谓丛林初选，即不按政党划分选区，所有候选人在同一张选票上竞争。得票最高的两位候选人将进入大选对决。

在本次初选中，格卢森坎普·佩雷斯与共和党州参议员约翰·布劳恩成为得票前两名，将竞争众议院的这一席位。
对格卢森坎普·佩雷斯而言，这意味着她成功抵御了来自左翼的挑战。她的对手之一是进步派政客布伦特·亨里奇，其竞选纲领包括对富人征税和推行“全民医保”。
亨里奇指责这位温和派民主党议员时常与共和党站在同一阵线，牺牲左翼议程，他在竞选网站上特意列出了格卢森坎普·佩雷斯与共和党投票一致的所有场合。

而谋求连任第三届的格卢森坎普·佩雷斯，很可能是民主党保住华盛顿州西南部这个摇摆选区的最佳人选。
随着布劳恩的胜出，这场角逐也将成为全美竞争最激烈的众议院选举之一。
与此前因与极右翼团体关联而在大选中引发争议的前特朗普政府官员乔·肯特不同，布劳恩是一位更为主流的共和党人物。

布劳恩曾是海军上校、商人，竞选纲领承诺遏制联邦政府的鲁莽开支。他目前担任华盛顿州参议院少数党领袖。
在2026年4月的Truth Social帖子中，特朗普表示布劳恩“将努力发展经济、削减税收和监管、推广‘美国制造’、保障边境安全、制止移民犯罪、支持我们伟大的军队/退伍军人，并捍卫我们始终面临威胁的第二修正案权利。”

Republicans just took a major step forward in their goal to keep the House majority this November.
A GOP hopeful backed by President Donald Trump advanced in a jungle primary for Washington’s 3rd Congressional District alongside Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez, D-Wash., and the two will now face each other in this fall’s general election.
A jungle primary is a race that’s not separated by political party, but rather has all candidates compete on one ballot. The top two vote-getters advance to the general election.
100 DAY SPRINT TO THE MIDTERMS KICKS OFF AS REPUBLICANS AND DEMOCRATS CLASH FOR CONTROL ACROSS THE COUNTRY

In this case, Gluesenkamp Perez and Republican state Sen. John Braun are the two winners who will now compete for the former’s seat in the House of Representatives.
For Gluesenkamp Perez, that meant surviving challenges from her left flank. Among her opponents was Brent Hennrich, a progressive politician who ran on policies like taxing the rich and Medicare for All.
He accused the moderate Democrat of siding too often with Republicans at the expense of the left’s agenda, including on his campaign website, where he highlighted all the times she voted with the GOP.

But Gluesenkamp Perez, who is seeking a third term, is likely Democrats’ best chance to keep hold of that swing district in Southwest Washington state.
And the race is shaping up to be one of the most competitive House elections in the country with Braun’s victory as well.
Unlike former Trump administration official Joe Kent, whose association with far-right groups made him a controversial figure in a general election, Braun is a much more mainstream GOP figure.

Braun is a former Navy captain and businessman who is running on a pledge to stop reckless spending by the federal government. He’s currently serving as minority leader of the Washington State Senate.
In an April 2026 Truth Social post, Trump said Braun “will work hard to Grow the Economy, Cut Taxes and Regulations, Promote MADE IN THE U.S.A., Keep our Border SECURE, Stop Migrant Crime, Support our Great Military/Veterans, and Defend our always under siege Second Amendment.”
