据两名要求匿名的共和党工作人员透露,众议院共和党人定于11月10日举行领导层选举。

House Republicans are slated to hold their leadership elections on Nov. 10, according to two GOP staffers, who spoke on the condition of anonymity.

最先报道这一消息的《政治报》指出,共和党人将在当天上午举行为时两小时的候选人论坛,随后就领袖、党鞭、会议主席及其他职位进行投票。

Politico, which first reported the news, noted that Republicans will hold a two-hour candidate forum that morning before voting on the leader, whip, conference chair and other positions.

据该媒体报道,议员们还必须在11月6日中午之前宣布是否打算竞选某一职位。如果共和党保住众议院的控制权,议长的人选将在明年1月下一届国会开幕时进行全院投票。

Members also have until Nov. 6 at noon to declare whether they want to run for a position, according to the outlet. If Republicans retain control of the House, a floor vote for Speaker will take place at the beginning of the next Congress in January.

目前尚不清楚议长迈克·约翰逊(共和党-路易斯安那州)是否会寻求连任该党领袖,共和党人正面临在中期选举中失去众议院多数席位的可能。

It remains unclear whether Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) will seek another term as the party’s leader, with Republicans facing the possibility of losing their House majority in the midterms.

约翰逊在接受福克斯新闻的独家采访时最初提出,如果共和党失去众议院,他将返回路易斯安那州。他的发言人迅速驳斥了约翰逊将离开国会的猜测。

Johnson initially floated the idea of returning to Louisiana if Republicans lost the House, in an exclusive interview with Fox News. His spokesperson quickly pushed back on speculation that Johnson would leave Congress.

约翰逊后来对哥伦比亚广播公司新闻表示,即使在共和党失去众议院这一“不太可能的情形”下,他也打算继续担任该党领袖,并称他“预计我的同事们会要求我继续领导这个会议,即使我们面对的是分裂政府”。“但我相信的是,我至少还会再当两年的众议院议长,”约翰逊补充道。决策台总部预测,民主党人有望赢回这个下议院。

Johnson later told CBS News that he intends to remain the party’s leader even in the “unlikely scenario” that Republicans lose the House, saying he would “expect my colleagues would ask me to continue leading this conference, even if we have divided government.”“But what I believe is, I’m going to be the Speaker of the House for at least two more years,” Johnson added. Decision Desk HQ forecasts that Democrats are favored to win back the lower chamber.

一些共和党议员和助手此前对《国会山报》表示,如果该党在中期选举中遭遇重大失利,可能会出现支持约翰逊以外的人担任领袖的推动力。

Some GOP lawmakers and aides previously told The Hill that there could be a potential push to support someone else as leader besides Johnson if the party suffers major losses in the midterms.

一些共和党工作人员提出,如果共和党失去众议院,众议院多数党领袖史蒂夫·斯卡利斯(共和党-路易斯安那州)和众议院司法委员会主席吉姆·乔丹(共和党-俄亥俄州)可作为少数党领袖的竞争者。

Some GOP staffers have floated House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-La.) and House Judiciary Committee Chair Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) as contenders for minority leader if Republicans lose the House.
