密歇根州第8国会选区的共和党选民周三选择托马斯·J·史密斯作为挑战民主党新任众议员克里斯汀·麦克唐纳-里维特的候选人——这违背了唐纳德·特朗普总统对竞争对手阿米尔·哈桑的背书，这是共和党希望有助于其在11月扩大众议院多数席位的多个众议院选区竞选之一。
该选区涵盖弗林特、萨吉诺、米德兰和贝城，近年来在选举周期中竞争力日益增强。阿尔·莱莫也参与了该提名的角逐。

据史密斯的官网介绍，他曾是通用汽车的长期雇员。
“我们需要强有力的保守派领导，保护我们的宪法自由，支持工薪家庭，保障我们的边境安全，并恢复华盛顿的问责制，”他在自己的官网上说道。
据《底特律新闻》报道，史密斯据传在7月暂停了竞选活动并背书莱莫，而特朗普则背书了哈桑，并邀请他在最近的一次集会上登台。
哈桑当时谈到了他有多少家庭成员在通用汽车工作。“对比显而易见，现在就是时候，”哈桑说道。“保护美国，回归根本……这就是我们本次选举周期正在做的事情。”

截至周三上午，史密斯仅获得了略超50%的选票，并被美联社宣布为获胜者。
史密斯告诉《底特律新闻》，他“对共和党选择我来与克里斯汀·麦克唐纳·里维特展开较量感到谦卑和荣幸”。
里维特在进入国会之前曾是代表贝城的州参议员，她在周二的初选中获胜。
她在2024年的选举中以约6个百分点的优势击败了共和党候选人保罗·荣格。

Republican voters in Michigan’s 8th Congressional District chose Thomas J. Smith as their challenger to freshman Democratic Rep. Kristen McDonald-Rivet on Wednesday – defying President Donald Trump’s endorsement of opponent Amir Hassan — in one of several House races the GOP hopes will help expand its majority in November.
The district stretches across Flint, Saginaw, Midland and Bay City, and has become increasingly competitive in recent election cycles. Al Lemmo also vied for the nomination.

Smith was a longtime GM employee, according to his website.
“We need strong conservative leadership that protects our constitutional freedoms, supports working families, secures our borders, and restores accountability in Washington,” he said on his website.
Smith reportedly suspended his campaign in July and endorsed Lemmo, according to the Detroit News, while Trump endorsed Hassan and invited him onstage at a recent rally.
Hassan spoke then about how many members of his family worked for GM. “The contrast is clear, the time is now,” Hassan said. “Protecting America, getting back to the fundamentals… that’s what we’re doing this cycle.”

Smith recorded just over 50% of the vote by Wednesday morning, and was declared the winner by the Associated Press.
Smith told the Detroit News he is “humbled and honored that Republicans have chosen me to take the fight to Kristen McDonald Rivet.”
Rivet, who was a state senator representing Bay City before her tenure in Congress, won her primary Tuesday.
She previously defeated the GOP’s Paul Junge by about six points in 2024’s contests.
