罗德岛州联邦民主党参议员杰克·里德周三击退了两名进步派初选对手，保住了自己作为该党提名候选人的资格，延续了自己30年的参议院生涯。现年76岁的里德正谋求在华盛顿的第六个任期。
根据竞选网站介绍，里德击败了康纳·伯布里奇——一名“小企业主、护工、社区组织者和工薪阶层罗德岛人”，以及路易斯·穆尼奥斯——一名医学院毕业生、医疗科技企业家，曾在2018年和2022年两次参选罗德岛州州长。穆尼奥斯的领英主页和当地关于其过往竞选的报道均记录了这些履历。
此次胜利将让里德进入11月的大选，对手是在初选中无对手参选的共和党人雷·麦凯，以及独立候选人迈克尔·巴里。

根据里德的竞选网站介绍，里德的父亲是二战老兵，曾是罗德岛州克兰斯顿市的一名清洁工，后来逐步晋升为全市学校系统的托管主管。
里德将自己的工薪阶层背景视为成长过程中的关键影响因素，他后来就读于西点军校，曾在陆军服役，之后获得哈佛大学公共政策硕士学位和法学学位。

此次初选暴露了以里德为代表的温和派建制派候选人与两名进步派挑战者之间的分歧。进步派挑战者的竞选主张包括废除移民海关执法局（ICE）、征收财富税以及停止对以色列的援助。
作为参议院军事委员会首席民主党议员，里德支持继续向以色列提供军事援助，尽管他曾批评以色列总理本雅明·内塔尼亚胡，并呼吁为两国方案重启努力。
里德在众议院连任三届后，于1996年首次当选联邦参议员。除担任军事委员会民主党资深议员外，他还在拨款委员会、银行委员会以及情报委员会任职。

根据美国联邦选举委员会（FEC）的记录，里德的竞选团队在2025-2026年选举周期截至8月20日时，总筹款额约为340万美元，手头现金近310万美元。
相比之下，伯布里奇截至8月20日的筹款额仅略高于2.5万美元，而FEC未列出穆尼奥斯竞选团队在初选前的筹款总额。

Rhode Island Democratic Sen. Jack Reed fended off two progressive primary challengers Wednesday, extending a three-decade hold on his party’s nomination as the 76-year-old senator seeks a sixth term in Washington.
Reed defeated Connor Burbridge, a “small business owner, elder-care worker, community organizer and a working-class Rhode Islander,” according to his campaign website, and Luis Muñoz, a medical school graduate, med tech entrepreneur and former candidate who previously ran for Rhode Island governor in 2018 and 2022, according to Muñoz’s LinkedIn profile and local reporting about his previous runs.
The victory sends Reed to the November general election against Republican Ray McKay, who ran unopposed in his primary, and independent Michael Bahry.

Reed’s father was a World War II veteran and janitor from Cranston, Rhode Island, before eventually working his way up to becoming a custodial supervisor of the city’s entire school system, according to Reed’s campaign website.
Reed, who cites that working-class background as pivotal to his upbringing, attended West Point later in life and spent time in the Army before earning a master’s degree in public policy and a law degree from Harvard.

The primary exposed a divide between a more moderate establishment candidate like Reed and the two progressive challengers he faced who ran on issues like abolishing Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE), taxing wealth and ending aid to Israel.
Reed, the top Democrat on the Senate Armed Services Committee, has supported continued military assistance to Israel despite criticizing Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and calling for renewed efforts toward a two-state solution.
He was first elected to the U.S. Senate in 1996 after serving three terms in the House, and, in addition to being the ranking Democrat on the Armed Services Committee, Reed serves on the Appropriations, Banking and Intelligence committees.

His campaign reported roughly $3.4 million in total receipts during the 2025-2026 election cycle through Aug. 20 and had nearly $3.1 million in cash on hand, according to Federal Election Commission (FEC) records.
By comparison, Burbridge reported raising just over $25,000 through Aug. 20, while the FEC listed no fundraising totals for Muñoz’s campaign ahead of the primary.
