美国众议员亚历山德里娅·奥卡西奥-科尔蒂斯的政治未来一直是左翼内部讨论的话题，越来越多的猜测认为，她可能会与民主党在国会的最高领导人迎头相撞。
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's political future has remained a topic of discussion within the left wing — and there's increasing speculation that she could be set for a collision course with Democrats' top leader in Congress.
这位进步派政治新星表示，她正在权衡下一步棋：究竟是竞选2028年总统，还是角逐目前由同为民主党人、同为纽约人的参议员查克·舒默占据的席位。
The progressive rock star says she's weighing what to do next, whether it be a 2028 presidential run or a bid for the seat currently held by Sen. Chuck Schumer, a fellow Democrat and New Yorker.
“我知道，关于我将在2028年作何决定，外界有很多猜测。我几乎每次接受采访或出席活动都会被问到这个问题。”奥卡西奥-科尔蒂斯在最近一封发给支持者的筹款邮件中写道。
"I know there is a lot of speculation about what I will decide to do in 2028. I get asked about it nearly every interview and event," Ocasio-Cortez wrote in a recent fundraising email to supporters.
这位36岁、在社交媒体上拥有庞大影响力的议员最近接受《纽约时报》采访时表示，她可能在今年中期选举后的某个时候作出决定，而这一选择将取决于一个问题的答案：“我能在哪里发挥最大的作用？”奥卡西奥-科尔蒂斯畅谈2028年动向。如果她决定竞选州级职位，而非全国性职位，那么她与即将年满76岁的舒默之间或将展开一场民主党内部的跨世代激烈对决。舒默首次当选国会议员已是近半个世纪前，并自1999年起担任参议员。
The 36-year-old lawmaker with a massive social media footprint said in a recent New York Times interview that her decision, which could happen sometime after this year's midterm elections, would come down to answering the question, "Where can I do the most good?" OCASIO-CORTEZ OPENS UP ABOUT 2028 If she decides on a statewide rather than a national run, it could set up a titanic Democratic Party and generational battle between her and the soon-to-be 76-year-old Schumer, who was first elected to Congress nearly a half century ago and has served in the Senate since 1999. Ocasio-Cortez, in her interview, made clear that her decision about 2028 would not be dictated by someone else.
她在采访中明确表示，她对2028年的决定不会受制于任何人。“我不认为，我作决定时会听命于别人。”
"I don’t think that my decisions would come down to deference," she said.
与此同时，奥卡西奥-科尔蒂斯过去几天在纽约州北部的巡回助选活动引起了一些议论。此次行程旨在为今年参选的民主党同僚助力，但也引发了另一种猜测：她是否也试图在远离纽约市票仓的地方拓展人脉。
Meanwhile, a campaign swing the past few days throughout upstate New York by Ocasio-Cortez raised some eyebrows. While the trip was aimed at boosting fellow Democrats on the ballot in this year's elections, it sparked speculation that it was also a move by Ocasio-Cortez to build relationships far from her base in New York City.
舒默尚未明确表示自己是否会在2028年再次参选。当被问及连任计划时，他多次强调自己的首要目标是“在2026年赢得选举，重新夺回参议院的控制权”。福克斯新闻数字频道曾试图联系舒默的办公室，了解他对2028年连任的考虑，但在本文发布时仍未收到任何回复。
Schumer has left his 2028 plans open and has not announced whether he’ll run for yet another term. When asked about re-election, he's repeatedly said his "first focus is winning in 2026, getting back the Senate in 2026." Fox News Digital reached out to Schumer's office regarding his thinking on a potential 2028 re-election run, but didn't receive a response by the time this story was published.
然而，据熟悉纽约州政治局势的民主党策略师推测，奥卡西奥-科尔特斯与舒默之间可能根本不会发生党内竞争；这些策略师认为，即使民主党在11月的中期选举中重新夺回参议院多数席位，舒默也不太可能寻求连任。
DEMOCRACY ’26: STAY UP TO DATE WITH THE FOX NEWS ELECTION HUB But a potential intra-party clash between Ocasio-Cortez and Schumer may never materialize, according to speculation from plugged-in Democratic strategists familiar with the New York State political landscape, who doubt Schumer will seek re-election even if his party wins back the Senate majority in November's midterms.
“每个人都有自己的‘任期上限’，”一位要求匿名的策略师说道，“如果民主党赢得参议院多数席位，舒默也可能选择退出政坛。”
"Everyone has an expiration date," said one strategist, who like the others asked to remain anonymous to speak more freely.
谈到奥卡西奥-科尔特斯时，这位策略师对福克斯新闻数字频道表示：“我认为她有很强的机会在全州范围内赢得选举。”另一位民主党人士则推测：“舒默可能希望以圆满的方式结束自己的政治生涯，并将权力移交给这位充满活力的新一代领导者。不过，纽约州的政局非常复杂，有很多人都觊觎这个职位，因此他可能觉得自己无法实现这一目标。”
And referring to Ocasio-Cortez, the strategist told Fox News Digital, "I think she’s in a good position to win statewide." Another operative, pointing to Schumer, speculated, "I think Schumer wants to go out on top and with a good legacy and one way to do that is to hand the reins over to this inspiring generational leader. At the same time, New York politics are insane and there are lots of people gunning for that spot and he may feel like he can’t do that."
“在处理与奥卡西奥-科尔特斯的关系时，舒默一直表现得非常明智，”这位人士补充道，“当其他民主党人还在对她保持谨慎态度时，他是纽约州代表团中最早对她表示欢迎和支持的人之一，并在疫情期间与她共同推动立法工作。”

"As other Dems were still warming to her ….he was one of the first members of the New York delegation to be very welcoming and thoughtful and worked with her on legislation during COVID." Schumer's approval ratings among New York voters is deep into negative territory at 36%-54% according to a Quinnipiac University poll conducted Sept. 17-20. The senator's favorable ratings were also underwater, at 34%-51%.
根据昆尼皮亚克大学9月17日至20日进行的民意调查，舒默在纽约州选民中的支持率仅为36%至54%；他的率也仅为34%至51%。

与此同时，41%的帝国州选民对奥卡西奥-科尔特斯持正面看法，而36%的人对她持负面看法。

“他是最顶级的零售型政治家。一旦他成为领袖，他就变成了来自华盛顿的‘沼泽生物’，这开始侵蚀他在家乡的声望，”第三位民主党策略师谈到舒默时说道。
"He was the supreme retail politician. Once he became leader, he became a swamp creature from Washington and it started to chip away his popularity back home," a third Democratic strategist said of Schumer.
马姆达尼避谈AOC是否应在2028年挑战舒默 舒默的短期目标是在中期选举中夺回参议院多数党地位。
MAMDANI SIDESTEPS WHETHER AOC SHOULD CHALLENGE SCHUMER IN 2028 Schumer's short-term goal is to win back the Senate majority in the midterms.
当被问及这一前景是否会让潜在挑战舒默变得更加困难时，奥卡西奥-科尔特斯告诉《纽约时报》：“老实说，那将是我们作为一个国家可能拥有的最好的问题。”“我们正努力争取遇到这个问题，到时候我再过那座桥，”她补充道。
Asked if that prospect would make potentially challenging Schumer more difficult, Ocasio-Cortez told the New York Times, "That would honestly be the best possible problem we could have as a country." "We’re working hard to have that problem, and I’ll cross that bridge when I get to it," she added.
最近发送给支持者的筹款短信似乎在抨击民主党建制派，舒默就是其中一员。不过，她在短信中并未点名任何特定人物。
Recent fundraising text messages sent to supporters appeared to take jabs at the Democratic establishment, of which Schumer is a part. She did not name any particular person in the notes, however.
短信写道：“建制派认为只有一条获胜之路：不要破坏现状，不要站出来对抗正在接管我们国家的贪婪集中，而是把大部分时间花在向权势捐赠者筹款上。”“但亚历山德拉2018年的竞选并非遵循建制派剧本而获胜。”
"The establishment believes that there's only one path to winning: Don't upset the status quo, don't stand up tot he concentration of greed taking over our country, and instead spend most of your time fundraising from powerful donors," it read. "But Alexandria's campaign didn't win in 2018 by following the establishment playbook."
另一条短信称，她2018年的胜利“代表了对当时存在且至今仍存的典型华盛顿权力结构的威胁。”
Another message said her 2018 victory "represented a threat to the typical D.C. power structure that existed back then and still exist now."
