选举日并不是众议院两党选举的终点，新一届领导层竞选将在结果揭晓后立即展开。
Election Day won’t be the end of elections for both parties in the House, with new leadership races set to kick off immediately after the results are known.
对共和党而言，周二的投票是否大幅削减其席位将产生重大影响。多数人预计俄亥俄州众议员吉姆·乔丹和路易斯安那州众议员史蒂夫·斯卡利斯将角逐少数党领袖一职，不过议长迈克·约翰逊已暗示他可能仍会争取共和党的最高职位。
For Republicans, a lot rides on whether Tuesday’s balloting substantially diminishes their ranks. Most expect Reps. Jim Jordan of Ohio and Steve Scalise of Louisiana to make a play for minority leader, though Speaker Mike Johnson has signaled he might still try for the GOP’s top spot.
党鞭汤姆·埃默表示希望留任现职，但其他出人意料的竞争者也可能加入：据《政治报》报道，例如会议主席丽莎·麦克莱恩可能面临佛罗里达州共和党众议员卡特·卡马克的再次挑战。
Whip Tom Emmer has said he wants to stay in his current job, but other surprise contestants may jump in: Conference Chair Lisa McClain, for example, could face a repeat challenge from Rep. Kat Cammack, R-Fla., Politico reported.
民主党尚未公布自己的领导层选举日程，但预计哈基姆·杰弗里斯将轻松赢得党内领袖的内部投票，尽管一些进步派人士对此持怀疑态度。
Democrats haven’t announced their own leadership election schedule yet, but Hakeem Jeffries is expected to easily win an internal vote for party leader despite skepticism from some progressives.
少数党党鞭、马萨诸塞州民主党人凯瑟琳·克拉克和党团会议主席、加利福尼亚州民主党人皮特·阿吉拉尔预计不会在领导职位上面临对手。
Minority Whip Katherine Clark, D-Mass., and Caucus Chair Pete Aguilar, D-Calif., aren’t expected to face opposition for their leadership jobs.
民主党较低层级的职位可能会有更多戏剧性，主要是对现任委员会领导人的挑战。预计金融服务委员会主席一职将出现激烈角逐，伊利诺伊州众议员肖恩·卡斯滕和比尔·福斯特可能挑战现任金融服务委员会首席议员、加利福尼亚州众议员马克辛·沃特斯。（不过据《政治报》报道，福斯特尚未确定。）俄勒冈州众议员苏珊娜·博纳米奇和康涅狄格州众议员贾哈娜·海斯正在竞选教育和劳动力委员会的最高职位，对手是现任主席、弗吉尼亚州众议员鲍比·斯科特。
There’s likely to be more drama for Democratic positions lower on the ladder, largely for challenges to sitting committee leaders. Expect a heated race for the Financial Services gavel, with Reps. Sean Casten and Bill Foster of Illinois likely running against incumbent Financial Services ranking member Maxine Waters of California. (Though Foster isn’t sure, according to Politico.) Reps. Suzanne Bonamici of Oregon and Jahana Hayes of Connecticut are running for the top slot on the Education and Workforce Committee against current head Rep. Bobby Scott of Virginia.
俄亥俄州众议员肖特尔·布朗和加利福尼亚州众议员吉姆·科斯塔正在竞争农业委员会民主党首席议员一职。伊利诺伊州众议员劳伦·安德伍德和加利福尼亚州众议员萨拉·雅各布斯也在角逐党团会议副主席职位，如果众议院民主党人获得多数席位，该职位将会空缺。
Reps. Shontel Brown of Ohio and Jim Costa of California are competing to be the top Agriculture Committee Democrat. Reps. Lauren Underwood of Illinois and Sara Jacobs of California are also vying for the caucus vice chair position, which will open up if House Democrats take the majority.
议员们拖欠民主党国会竞选委员会的党团会费，也可能成为这些选战的一个因素。众议院民主党人正考虑修改规则，规定必须缴清会费才能进入重要委员会任职。
Members’ lagging caucus dues payments to the DCCC might also factor into these races, with House Democrats mulling a rules change to mandate that dues are paid in order to serve on top committees.
