此外，小罗伯特·F·肯尼迪（RFK Jr.）提出的鼓励美国人健康饮食的计划遭到了白宫的抵制；同时，伊朗在霍尔木兹海峡问题上的影响力也在逐渐减弱。
Plus, RFK Jr.’s plan to get Americans to eat healthily hits White House resistance, and Iran is losing its leverage over the Strait of Hormuz J. Scott Applewhite Good morning.
J·斯科特·阿普尔怀特（J. Scott Applewhite）：早上好。
This is the second in a two-part series where we explore what could happen if either party overperforms in the midterms. On Monday, we looked at potential developments if Republicans run the table
这是我们系列报道的第二部分，我们探讨的是如果任何一方在中期选举中取得压倒性胜利可能会发生什么。周一，我们分析了共和党掌控政局时可能出现的各种情况；今天，让我们来看看如果民主党获胜会带来哪些变化：国会将会展开大规模的调查——这种规模的调查在华盛顿已经很久没有出现过。众议院少数党领袖哈基姆·杰弗里斯（Hakeem Jeffries）表示，调查将立即聚焦于“腐败”问题。
Today, let’s talk about what to expect if Democrats win: Investigations (congressional ones) will happen on a scale that Washington hasn’t seen in a long time. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries has said that there would be an immediate focus on “corruption.”
康涅狄格州民主党议员吉姆·海姆斯（Jim Himes）可能会担任情报委员会主席，并表示他可能会调查特朗普政府与企业之间的腐败交易。不过，这对民主党来说也可能是一把双刃剑：选民是否希望他们在2028年总统大选前夕继续追究特朗普的责任，还是希望他们能够制定出未来的发展规划？关于2028年大选的讨论将会立即开始。
Rep. Jim Himes (D., Conn.) could chair the intelligence committee and has said that he might look into “nakedly corrupt dealings” between the Trump administration and companies. This could all be a double-edged sword for Democrats, though. Will voters want them to spend the run-up to the 2028 presidential election going after President Trump, or coming up with a plan for the future? 2028 talk will begin immediately.
民主党候选人众多（包括多位州长、多名议员，甚至还有一些“外部人士”）；不过民主党在本次中期选举中并未真正解决其内部的分歧（尤其是“民主社会主义者”派系与党内主流派系之间的矛盾）。这种分歧将在2028年大选前进一步激化。
There will be no shortage of Democratic candidates (several governors, a number of lawmakers and maybe even some outsiders). Democrats have navigated this midterm without really reconciling the differences between their Democratic Socialists of America flank and the center of the party. That debate will rage heading into 2028.
如果民主党成功控制参议院，宾夕法尼亚州参议员约翰·费特曼（John Fetterman）将拥有巨大的影响力。党内部分人士已经与他产生了分歧，但许多共和党人却对他表示支持；如果他考虑转投共和党，可能会让整个华盛顿的政治进程陷入停滞。对于一位在2028年面临连任挑战的议员来说，这确实是一股巨大的政治力量……特朗普的权力将受到严重限制，其国内和外交政策将面临前所未有的挑战，这与他执政头两年截然不同。
Sen. John Fetterman of Pennsylvania will have an enormous amount of power if Democrats somehow take control of the Senate. Some in the party have turned on him and many Republicans have warmed to him. If he flirts with switching parties he could bring Washington grinding to a halt. That’s a lot of leverage for someone whose seat is up in 2028. Trump would face serious curbs on his power, and his domestic and foreign policies would be challenged in ways they weren’t in the first two years of his presidency.
他此前已两次被弹劾，民主党人将来自其更自由派支持者的巨大压力，迫使他们考虑再次启动弹劾程序。此外，在总统任期的最后两年，特朗普将成为美国历史上最年长的在任总统。他的执政方式会有何不同？
He has already been impeached twice and Democrats would be under a lot of pressure from their more liberal supporters to consider impeaching him again. Trump would also—during the final two years of his presidency—be the oldest U.S. president. How would he govern differently?
美国企业界可能会在未来两年陷入两难境地。贸易政策、汽油价格和高利率都可能引发不确定性。与此同时，两党的初选开放制度可能带来诸多风险，因为民主党和共和党需要决定在后特朗普时代，他们希望向民粹主义倾斜到什么程度。
Corporate America could find itself caught in the middle of the next two years. Trade policy, gas prices and high interest rates could all create uncertainty. Meanwhile, the open primaries in both parties could give rise to a lot of risks, as Democrats and Republicans decide how much populism they want to lean into during a post-Trump era.
