据美联社预测，联邦众议员埃德·凯斯在夏威夷州第一选区的民主党初选中击败了一名挑战者，打破了近期进步派挑战者罢免温和派在任议员的趋势。
在91%的选票已被清点的情况下，凯斯与其最接近的挑战者、州参议员贾勒特·基奥科卡洛莱保持着近14个百分点的领先优势。
基奥科卡洛莱曾批评凯斯投票支持向以色列提供军事援助，以及支持特朗普总统早前版本的《拯救美国法案》。不过作为众议院仅有的三名投票支持该法案的民主党议员之一，凯斯告诉夏威夷新闻网，他并不支持该法案的最新版本。
自2019年以来，凯斯一直代表夏威夷州第一国会选区，该选区包括檀香山和瓦胡岛其他地区。他曾在2002年至2007年期间代表第二国会选区，该选区涵盖瓦胡岛更多农村地区以及其他岛屿。
凯斯将在11月的大选中对阵共和党候选人阿德丽尔·拉姆，后者在周六的初选中无对手参选。考虑到夏威夷强烈的民主党倾向，凯斯被看好在11月的选举中获胜。
今年迄今，纽约州和科罗拉多州安全选区的民主党在任议员已被初选挑战者罢免。
夏威夷州州长乔希·格林在周六的初选中面临三名名义上的挑战者，最终成功获得民主党提名。他将在11月对阵赢得周六共和党初选的加里·科德里。
Rep. Ed Case defeats progressive primary challenger in Hawaii’s 1st District

Rep. Ed Case defeated a primary challenger in Hawaii’s 1st District, the Associated Press projected, defying a recent trend of progressive challengers ousting moderate incumbents.
With 91% of the vote counted, Case had a nearly 14-point lead over his nearest challenger, state Sen. Jarrett Keohokalole.
Keohokalole had criticized Case for his vote to send military aid to Israel and for Case’s support for an earlier version of President Trump’s SAVE America Act, although Case, one of just three Democrats in the House to vote for that bill, told Hawaii News Now that he did not support the latest version of the bill.
Case has represented Hawaii’s 1st Congressional District, which includes Honolulu and other parts of Oʻahu, since 2019, having previously represented the 2nd District, which includes more rural parts of Oʻahu and the other islands, from 2002 to 2007.
Case will face Republican Adriel Lam, who was unopposed on Saturday, in November. Given Hawaii’s strong Democratic leaning, Case is favored to win in November.
Democratic incumbents in safe districts in New York and Colorado have been ousted so far this year by primary challengers.
Hawaii’s Gov. Josh Green, who had faced three nominal challengers on Saturday, secured the Democratic nomination. He will face Republican Gary Cordery, who won Saturday’s primary, in November.
