- 摘要
- 总部位于檀香山的国会选区在11月大选被视为民主党稳守席位
- 凯斯称若失去席位将导致夏威夷获得的联邦资金减少
- 夏威夷允许无党派及共和党选民参与民主党初选
8月8日电（路透社）——席卷美国民主党政坛的意识形态分歧本周六移师夏威夷，选民将决定是提名一名经验丰富的议员继续担任国会职务，还是选择一位更年轻的左翼候选人。
73岁的美国众议员埃德·凯斯正面临民主党提名挑战，对手是43岁的州参议员贾勒特·基奥科卡莱莱，后者指责现任议员与企业利益集团过从甚密。

基奥科卡莱莱还呼吁扩大政府医保覆盖范围，并限制对以色列的援助，这与今年在密歇根州、纽约州和科罗拉多州赢得民主党初选的其他进步派候选人立场一致。
由于该檀香山选区被视为民主党稳守席位，此次初选结果不太可能影响民主党在11月中期选举中拿下众议院控制权的前景。
凯斯自2019年起担任该席位议员，并曾于2002年至2007年期间在众议院任职。作为在关键拨款委员会担任高级职务的温和派议员，凯斯辩称，如果他未能连任，夏威夷获得的联邦资金将会减少。基奥科卡莱则援引凯斯的企业竞选捐款，称他已与选民脱节。
如果基奥科卡莱获胜，他将成为最新一位利用民主党选民挫败感的进步派挑战者——这些选民认为党领袖年纪过大、与以色列关系过近，且无法有效反对共和党籍总统唐纳德·特朗普。但凯斯也可能获得无党派及共和党选民的支持，而这些选民可以在夏威夷的初选中投票。

- Summary
- Honolulu-based House district is seen as safely Democratic in November
- Case says losing his seat could mean fewer federal dollars for Hawaii
- Hawaii lets independent and Republican voters cast ballots in primary contests
Aug 8 (Reuters) – The ideological divide roiling U.S. Democratic politics moves to Hawaii on Saturday, where voters will decide whether to nominate a seasoned lawmaker to another term in Congress or pick a younger, more left-wing candidate.
U.S. Representative Ed Case, 73, faces a challenge for the Democratic nomination from Jarrett Keohokalole, 43, a state senator who has argued the incumbent is too close to corporate interests.

Keohokalole is also calling for expanded government healthcare and limiting aid to Israel, in line with other progressive candidates who have won Democratic primaries in Michigan, New York and Colorado this year.
The outcome will not likely affect Democrats’ chances of winning control of the House of Representatives in the November midterm elections, as the Honolulu-based district is seen as safely Democratic.
Case has held the seat since 2019, and also served in the House between 2002 and 2007. A moderate who holds a senior position on a key spending committee, Case has argued that Hawaii will attract fewer federal dollars if he is not reelected. Keohokalole has highlighted Case’s campaign donations from businesses to argue he has lost touch with voters.
If he wins, Keohokalole would be the latest progressive challenger to capitalize on Democratic voters’ frustration with party leaders who they view as too old, too close to Israel, and unable to effectively oppose Republican President Donald Trump. But Case could draw support from independent and Republican voters, who can vote in primary contests in Hawaii.
