脱口秀主持人乔恩·斯图尔特表示，即使民主党在中期选举中取得压倒性胜利，未来的参议院多数党领袖查克·舒默（民主党，纽约州）和未来的众议院议长哈基姆·杰弗里斯（民主党，纽约州）也将令人大失所望。
Talk show host Jon Stewart suggested that even if Democrats win a massive victory in the midterms, a future Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., and a future Speaker of the House Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., will turn out to be massive disappointments.
去年11月，唐纳德·特朗普总统击败卡玛拉·哈里斯后，民主党一度陷入混乱。然而，随着特朗普的基本盘因伊朗战争和随之而来的可负担性危机而分裂，预计民主党将在今年11月的中期选举中取得历史性胜利。
Democrats were initially in disarray after President Donald Trump’s victory against Kamala Harris in November. However, as Trump’s base fractured amid the Iran war and the affordability crisis that followed, Democrats are expected to win a historic victory in this November’s midterms.
周三，斯图尔特在他的播客节目中被问到一个幽默的问题：民主党中期选举获胜的缺点是否会是舒默和杰弗里斯获得更多“曝光时间”。“听着，我认为会发生的是，他们他妈的得真干点事。他们得兑现承诺，”他说。“他们不能——光靠把整个政治人设建立在反对特朗普的一切政治主张上是不够的；他们必须拿出一个方案，以聪明且紧迫的方式重新平衡这经济。
On Wednesday, Stewart was asked a humorous question on his podcast about whether the downside of a Democratic midterm victory will be Schumer and Jeffries getting more "airtime." "Look, I think what’s going to happen is they’re going to have to f---ing do something. They’re going to have to deliver," he said. "They’re not going to be able — it will not be sufficient to make their entire personalities opposition to whatever Trump politics are; they’re going to have to have a prescription for rebalancing this economy in a smart and urgent way.

约翰逊淡化共和党中期选举困境，民主党瞄准夺回众议院控制权：“我非常看好”“我不相信这在他们的基因里，”斯图尔特继续说道。“我当然不相信这在舒默的基因里，这意味着我其实希望他别当领袖。他们会进场说：‘我们不走那条老套的亲企业路线了。我们要做美国人民迫切要求的变革，不受什么议会规则专家可能认为可以接受的那种理想化愿景的束缚。’”
"I am not confident that is in their DNA," Stewart continued. "I’m not confident that it’s in Schumer’s DNA certainly, which means I’m actually hopeful he won’t be there as the leader. That they will come in and say, ‘We’re not going to go down that corporatist path again. We are going to make the changes that the American people are demanding that we make in an urgent way that is not bound by some idealized vision of what the parliamentarian might think is OK.’"
“去他妈的，”斯图尔特说。“如果你们掌权了，如果他们把权力交给你们，就他妈干点实事吧，你们这些混蛋。”福克斯新闻数字频道联系了杰弗里斯和舒默，但未立即收到回复。
"F--- that," Stewart said. "Like, if you are granted control, if they give you the ring, do something with it, you b-----ds." Fox News Digital contacted Jeffries and Schumer and did not receive an immediate reply.

“我同意乔恩·斯图尔特的看法，舒默和杰弗里斯都不是自信的领袖，但那是因为他们的意识形态就是权力，”她回应道。“他们不是能遏制民主党追求激进议程的刹车。相反，每当他们手握票数，往往会安抚党团内更激进的成员，在法院、联邦机构、政府开支、进步派检察官和移民等问题上将党推向左翼。
"I agree with Jon Stewart that both Schumer and Jeffries are not confident leaders, but that’s because their ideology is power," she responded. "They are not the brakes that will restrain the Democratic Party from pursuing a radical agenda. Instead, they often appease the more radical members of their conference and push the party leftwards on issues like the courts, federal agencies, government spending, progressive prosecutors and immigration whenever they have the votes.
“这两人都极少表现出挑战党内更极端派系的意愿；例如，他们表示欢迎在初选中获胜的DSA候选人加入他们的‘大帐篷’政党，”她补充道。“他们不是中间派；他们顺应党内盛行的政治风向，并将实施这些政策以维持权力，即使这些政策与美国民众的支持背道而驰。” 前民主党顾问丹·图伦廷认为，斯图尔特的言论表达了民主党选民对党领袖的挫败感。
"Both men have shown little willingness to challenge the party’s more extreme factions; for example, they have said they will welcome DSA candidates who win primaries into their ‘big tent’ party," she added. "They are not centrists; they follow the prevailing political winds within their party and will implement those policies to hold power even if those policies run counter to what the American people support." Former Democratic advisor Dan Turrentine argued that Stewart's comments express the frustration Democratic voters have with party leaders.
“选民感到沮丧和愤怒，因为两党都不关注他们，”他告诉福克斯新闻数字版。“我们之所以获胜，是因为共和党在失利，而非因为我们做得好。民主党的‘多数制造者’不会是进步派、基本盘候选人，而是希望专注于常识性可负担性问题的温和派，而非基本盘的‘报复’和‘推翻一切’那套东西。
"Voters are frustrated and angry that neither party is focused on them," he told Fox News Digital. "We are winning because Republicans are losing, not because we are doing things well. The D ‘Majority Makers’ are not going to be the progressive, base candidates, but moderates who will want to focus on commonsense affordability issues, not the 'revenge' and ‘blow everything up’ base stuff.
“杰弗里斯和舒默将需要平衡这一点，以在维持基本盘热情的同时保住多数席位。这是一个‘既要又要’而非‘二选一’的场景。考虑到两人都很弱势，且明年都将面临初选挑战，这将非常艰难。”
"Jeffries and Schumer will need to balance this to protect their majority while maintaining base enthusiasm. It is a ‘both’ and not ‘either/or’ scenario. Given how weak both are, and that they both will face a primary challenge next year, it is going to be tough.
我认为，斯图尔特的情况恰恰反映了选民们那些非理性的期望。他们并不理解为什么不同的人会感到愤怒；我们在爱荷华州、阿肯色州、堪萨斯州、德克萨斯州和南卡罗来纳州落败的原因，与民主党社会正义联盟（DSA）的候选人获胜的原因截然不同。
"I think Stewart is indicative of the irrational expectations of the base. They don’t appreciate the different reasons different people are angry. We are not potentially winning in Iowa, Arkansas, Kansas, Texas and South Carolina for the same reasons DSA candidates are winning."
