民主党国会竞选委员会（DCCC）周一宣布，将六名候选人加入其潜在翻盘名单。距离中期选举不足一个月，DCCC将这些候选人纳入其“由红转蓝”计划。DCCC在声明中指出，通过入选该名单——目前已包括46名寻求翻转共和党优势选区的民主党人——这些候选人将获得“组织和筹款支持”，以及战略指导、人员资源和培训。
The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) announced Monday it is adding six candidates to its list of potential flips. The DCCC added the candidates to its “Red to Blue” program, less than a month before the midterm elections. Via their inclusion on the list — which now includes 46 Democrats seeking to flip GOP-favored seats — the candidates will receive “organizational and fundraising support,” along with strategic guidance, staff resources and training, the DCCC noted in a release.
新入选“由红转蓝”名单的六名候选人分别是克里斯·琼斯、德韦恩·罗梅罗和埃利奥特·罗德里格斯，他们分别挑战共和党众议员弗伦奇·希尔（阿肯色州）、杰夫·赫德（科罗拉多州）和玛丽亚·埃尔维拉·萨拉查（佛罗里达州）。此外，特雷莎·贝尼特斯-汤普森、布莱克·根德比安和贾斯汀·皮尔森也在名单上，他们分别对阵内华达州共和党人大卫·弗利波、纽约州共和党人安东尼·康斯坦蒂诺和田纳西州共和党州参议员布伦特·泰勒。
The six candidates now on the “Red to Blue” list include Chris Jones, Dwayne Romero and Eliott Rodriguez, who are challenging GOP Reps. French Hill (Ark.), Jeff Hurd (Colo.) and María Elvira Salazar (Fla.), respectively. Also on the list are Teresa Benitez-Thompson, Blake Gendebien and Justin Pearson, facing off against Nevada Republican David Flippo, New York Republican Anthony Constantino and Tennessee state Sen. Brent Taylor (R), respectively.
2024年，特朗普在DCCC重点关注的这六个选区中，平均以约16个百分点的优势获胜。DCCC主席、众议员苏珊·德尔贝内（华盛顿州民主党人）辩称，这六名民主党候选人正“以降低成本的信息赢得选民支持”，因为在伊朗战争已进入第七个月之际，通胀率仍维持在3%以上。
In 2024, President Trump won the six districts the DCCC has highlighted by an average of roughly 16 points. Rep. Suzan DelBene (D-Wash.), the chair of the DCCC, argued the six Democratic candidates are “winning over voters with their message of lowering costs,” as inflation remains above 3 percent amid the Iran war, which has stretched into its seventh month.
德尔贝内在委员会声明中补充道：“在许多家庭为支付账单而挣扎之际，美国人理应拥有真正为改善其生活而战的代表。”“距离选举日不足一个月，选民已准备好翻过众议院共和党人违背承诺的这一页，选出民主党人组成众议院多数党。”
“At a time when so many families are struggling to pay the bills, Americans deserve representatives who will actually fight to make their lives better,” DelBene added in the committee’s release. “Less than one month out from Election Day, voters are ready to turn the page on House Republicans’ broken promises and elect Democrats to the House Majority.”
民主党需要在11月净翻转三个席位，才能在众议院以218比217获得多数。截至周一，Decision Desk HQ预测民主党夺回众议院控制权的几率为76%。
Democrats need to flip a net of three seats in November to capture a 218-217 majority in the lower chamber. As of Monday, Decision Desk HQ gives Democrats a 76 percent chance to win back the House.
周日，民主党国会竞选委员会的政治主管布鲁克·巴特勒表示，她认为民主党有望在下个月赢得多达240个众议院席位。“218到240个席位这个目标看起来完全可实现，”她对《Politico》说道，“我们有信心达到218个席位。从竞选周期一开始我就一直在问大家：‘能多接近这个目标呢？’” 全国共和党国会委员会发言人迈克·马里内拉则对《The Hill》表示，民主党国会竞选委员会“把竞选版图无限扩大，却缺乏实际执行力，硬把美国所有选区都当成竞选战场”。
Brooke Butler, the political director of the DCCC, said Sunday she believes Democrats could capture up to 240 House seats next month. “Anywhere between 218 and 240 feels very viable,” she told Politico. “We feel confident that we will get to 218. The question that I’ve told people from the beginning cycle is, ‘How much?’”Mike Marinella, a spokesperson for the National Republican Congressional Committee, told The Hill the DCCC “is stretching its map a mile wide and an inch deep, pretending every district in America is suddenly a battleground.”
马里内拉还补充道：“民主党想把多少名字列进候选名单都行，但他们仍然急需资源才能与共和党在广告投放方面抗衡，同时还要为那些激进的社会主义派候选人提供资金支持。”
Marinella added, “Democrats can put as many names on a list as they want, but they’re still begging for resources just to match Republicans’ air superiority while bailing out their radical socialist nominees.”
