前副总统卡玛拉·哈里斯周二敦促民主党人，如果他们在下周的中期选举后重夺众议院控制权，不要对特朗普总统发起第三次弹劾尝试。
Former Vice President Kamala Harris on Tuesday urged Democrats against making a third attempt to impeach President Trump if they win back the House after next week’s midterm elections.
“我认为，走向弹劾的方向不是个好主意，说实话，”哈里斯在接受MeidasTouch的亚伦·帕纳斯采访时表示。“仅仅因为我们资源有限，我认为精力和资源需要投入到问责上，需要投入到调查中。”
“I think that going in the direction of impeachment is not a good idea, just to be honest with you,” Harris told MeidasTouch’s Aaron Parnas in an interview. “Just because we have limited resources and I think the energy and the resources need to put into accountability, need to be put into investigations.”
“时间应该花在那里，”她补充道。“记住，上一轮弹劾时我在参议院，票数是不够的。所以，这就是我的感受。但我也认为，选举后，我们都必须同意，我们的态度必须是把事情做成。”哈里斯表示，民主党人应该“不妥协”，且“不要坐在那里，你知道，在关系上装得彬彬有礼”，但在医疗保健削减和伊朗战争监督问责方面必须坚持问责。
“And that’s where the time should be spent,” she added. “Remember, I was in the Senate for the last go-around, and the votes aren’t there. “So, that’s how I feel. But also, I think after the election, we all have to just also agree that our attitude has to be to get stuff done.” Harris said Democrats should be “uncompromising” and “not sit around, you know, being genteel about the relationships,” but maintain accountability when it comes to cuts to healthcare and oversight on the Iran war.
2021年，这位前副总统刚上任几天，民主党议员就因1月6日国会山袭击事件对特朗普发起了弹劾。2021年2月，参议院以57票对43票宣判特朗普无罪，所有民主党人投了“有罪”票，并有七名共和党参议员加入，但未达到定罪所需的67票，当时特朗普已是前总统身份。
The former vice president was days into her new role in 2021 when Democratic lawmakers impeached Trump in connection with the Jan. 6 Capitol Hill attack. In February 2021, the Senate acquitted Trump in a 57-43 vote, with all Democrats voting “guilty,” joined by seven Republican senators, but falling short of the 67 votes needed to convict the then-former president.
民主党人并未排除如果下周重夺众议院后发起第三次弹劾尝试的可能性，也未排除弹劾政府成员（如国防部长皮特·赫格塞斯）的可能性。
Democrats have not ruled out making a third impeachment attempt if they win back the House next week, nor have they ruled out impeaching members of the administration like Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.
“我们必须遵循事实，适用法律，遵循宪法指引，然后顺其自然，以符合美国人民的最大利益，”众议院少数党领袖哈基姆·杰弗里斯（民主党-纽约州）上个月在接受美国广播公司新闻网采访时，被问及是否寻求再次弹劾特朗普时表示。特朗普和国会共和党领袖坚称，民主党人明年将试图弹劾总统。
“We’ve got to follow the facts, apply the law, be guided by the Constitution, and then let the chips fall where they may, in the best interests of the American people,” House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) told ABC News last month when asked about pursuing another Trump impeachment. Trump and Republican congressional leaders have insisted that Democrats will attempt to impeach the president next year.
“这是肯定的，大概在第一天——第一天或第二天，”众议院议长迈克·约翰逊（共和党-路易斯安那州）周二在接受亲特朗普评论员斯科特·詹宁斯采访时表示。“记住，他们在本届国会已经提交了弹劾条款。而且他们跃跃欲试。” 第三次弹劾将是前所未有的，特朗普已经保持着美国历史上唯一一位被弹劾两次的总统的纪录。1868年针对前总统安德鲁·约翰逊的弹劾努力和1999年针对比尔·克林顿的弹劾努力均以无罪判决告终，而前总统理查德·尼克松在1974年面临几乎必然的弹劾前辞去了总统职务。
“It’s guaranteed, probably on the first day — first or second day,” House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) said Tuesday in an interview with Scott Jennings, a pro-Trump pundit. “Remember, they’ve already filed articles of impeachment in this Congress. And they’re raring to go.”A third impeachment would be unprecedented, with Trump already holding the distinction of being the only U.S. president impeached twice. Efforts to impeach former President Andrew Johnson in 1868 and Bill Clinton in 1999 ended in acquittals, and former President Richard Nixon faced a likely impeachment before he resigned the presidency in 1974.
民主党议员于2019年底首次弹劾特朗普，指控特朗普在拜登宣布参加2020年总统竞选并最终击败特朗普之前，要求乌克兰总统泽连斯基调查时任前副总统拜登及其家人。
Democratic lawmakers first impeached Trump in late 2019, with Trump accused of requesting Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to investigate then-former Vice President Biden and his family before launching his 2020 presidential campaign, eventually defeating Trump.
参议院于2020年2月以48比52票在滥用职权指控上、47比53票在妨碍国会指控上宣判特朗普无罪。
The Senate acquitted Trump in a 48-52 vote on abuse of power and 47-53 on obstruction in February 2020.
