民主党内部的极左翼反叛运动周二晚间再获胜利，进步派组织“日出运动”的一名联合创始人在竞争激烈的密歇根州初选中以压倒性优势击败两名建制派支持的民主党候选人。
威廉·劳伦斯击败前美国驻乌克兰大使布里奇特·布林克和前海军海豹突击队队员马特·马斯达姆，赢得密歇根州第七国会选区的民主党提名，该选区以兰辛为核心区域。
劳伦斯接下来将在11月的选举中对阵共和党现任议员汤姆·巴雷特——这位退伍军人正寻求连任国会席位。

巴雷特在2024年的公开选举中赢得该席位后，此次共和党初选中无人与之竞争。该席位此前由民主党人埃莉萨·斯洛特金担任，她在2024年成功参选参议院后辞去了众议院职务。
劳伦斯的胜利是民主党党内灵魂争夺战中的一场关键胜利，这类斗争正在全美各地上演。
众议院共和党竞选机构全国共和党国会委员会（NRCC）发言人迈克·马里内拉在劳伦斯获胜后对福克斯新闻数字频道表示：“民主党拿下众议院多数席位的路径正在实时消失。每一次尴尬的失败都只会让他们提名一名激进社会主义者、耗尽竞选资金，同时又失去一个必争席位。”

建制派左翼的主要对手一直是美国民主社会主义者组织（DSA），该组织并未在此次选举中背书任何候选人。
但劳伦斯得到了密歇根州民主党众议员拉希达·特莱布的支持，特莱布是他的密歇根州同僚，也是一名知名的民主社会主义者组织成员，曾因针对以色列的言论引发争议。
他还获得了自称民主社会主义者的佛蒙特州独立参议员伯尼·桑德斯的背书。
劳伦斯于2017年联合创立的“日出运动”最初是一个以年轻人为主体的气候活动组织，与国会中的进步派一同推动《绿色新政》。

根据该组织官网信息，自成立以来，其非气候政策主张包括呼吁将移民海关执法局（ICE）赶出美国城市，并废除警察部门。
劳伦斯的胜利对共和党而言可能是最理想的结果，而共和党目前正面临全国范围内保住众议院控制权的艰难苦战。

Sunrise Movement co-founder defeats establishment-backed Dems in pivotal Michigan race

The far-left insurgency within the Democratic Party scored another victory on Tuesday night, with a co-founder of the progressive Sunrise Movement trouncing two establishment-backed Democrats in a contentious Michigan primary.
William Lawrence defeated former U.S. ambassador to Ukraine Bridget Brink and former Navy SEAL Matt Maasdam to win the Democratic nomination for Michigan’s 7th Congressional District, anchored in Lansing.
Lawrence will now go on to face Rep. Tom Barrett, R-Mich., a military veteran who is seeking a second term in Congress this November.

Barrett ran unopposed in the Republican primary after winning the seat in an open race in 2024. It was previously held by Democrat Elissa Slotkin, D-Mich., who vacated it when she successfully ran for Senate that year.
Lawrence’s victory is a commanding win in the wider civil war for the soul of the Democratic Party, with battles being waged across the country.
Mike Marinella, spokesman for House Republicans’ campaign arm the National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC), told Fox News Digital after Lawrence’s victory, “The Democrats’ path to the House majority is evaporating in real time.Every embarrassing defeat leaves them with a radical socialist nominee, an emptier bank account, and another must-win seat off the board.”

The establishment left’s main opponent has been the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), which has not endorsed a candidate in this race.
But Lawrence does have backing from Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., his fellow Michigan Democrat and a prominent DSA member who’s stirred controversy for her comments about Israel.
He was also endorsed by Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., a self-described democratic socialist.
The Sunrise Movement, which Lawrence co-founded in 2017, began as a youth-focused climate activist group that pushed the Green New Deal alongside progressives in Congress.

Since then, its non-climate policy platform has included calls to get Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) out of U.S. cities and abolishing police, according to its website.
Lawrence’s victory is likely the best outcome for Republicans, who are fighting a nationwide uphill battle to keep control of the House of Representatives.
