民主党Catelin Drey赢得了爱荷华州参议院的特别选举 打破了共和党的超级多数 Democrat Catelin Drey won a special election in Iowa's state Senate, breaking the Republican supermajority. 这一胜利使民主党人能够阻止某些州长提名,包括内阁和州委员会的任命。 This victory allows Democrats to block certain gubernatorial nominations, including appointments to the Cabinet and state boards. 在共和党罗基·德维特6月逝世之后, 民主党在14年中首次赢得这个席位。 Drey's win marks the first time a Democrat has held this seat in 14 years, following the death of Republican Rocky De Witt in June. 这是民主党今年在爱荷华州第四次特别立法选举获胜, 与唐纳德·特朗普2020年胜出13分的预期格格不入。 This is Democrats' fourth special legislative election win in Iowa this year, defying expectations given Donald Trump's 2020 win by 13 points in the state.
