美国众议院议长迈克·约翰逊(Mike Johnson)此前表示,如果共和党失去众议院控制权,他可能会离开政坛,回到路易斯安那州经营草坪生意,这一言论近日在社交媒体上重新引发关注,正值美国民众等待2026年中期选举结果之际。

US House Speaker Mike Johnson’s suggestion that he could leave politics and start a lawn business in Louisiana has resurfaced on social media as Americans await the outcome of the 2026 midterm elections.

约翰逊是在10月接受福克斯新闻(Fox News)采访时发表上述言论的,当时他谈到了共和党失去众议院控制权的可能性。“万一,我是说万一我们失去了这个多数派地位,或者不管发生什么,我不知道我人生的下一章会是什么,”这位来自路易斯安那州的共和党人对福克斯新闻表示。查看2026年美国中期选举实时报道“如果上帝感动我们的心,让我们……”约翰逊10月的这次采访标志着他公开承认共和党可能会失去其微弱的众议院多数优势。

Johnson made the remarks in an interview with Fox News in October, when he discussed the possibility of Republicans losing control of the House of Representatives. “Heaven forbid, if we lose this majority or whatever, I don't know what my next chapter of life is,” the Louisiana Republican told Fox News.

约翰逊表示,如果选民将众议院控制权交给民主党,他可能会回到家乡什里夫波特(Shreveport)创办一家草坪公司。“如果上帝感动我们的心,让我们……回到我的家乡什里夫波特开一家草坪公司,我会以同样的热情去做,”约翰逊说。

Johnson suggested returning to his hometown of Shreveport and starting a lawn business if voters handed Democrats control of the chamber. “If God moves on our hearts and says we should, you know, go back to my hometown of Shreveport and start a lawn business, I'll do that with equal fervor,” Johnson said.

这些言论在一个名为“ML3 Democrats”的X账号分享了相关视频片段后重新受到关注。该帖子呼吁选民支持民主党,并将约翰逊的言论描绘为一种可能的政治退出信号。“这是我听到的最好的消息。投蓝票(支持民主党),把‘让美国再次伟大’的迈克送回什里夫波特!”,该用户写道。这次重新引发的讨论正值11月3日选举日投票进行之际,全美选民正在为国会选举投票。两院的控制权仍是围绕唐纳德·特朗普(Donald Trump)总统议程的政治博弈的核心。

The comments gained renewed attention after an X account, ML3 Democrats, shared a clip of his remarks. The post urged voters to support Democrats and portrayed Johnson's statement as a possible political exit. “Best news I've heard. Vote Blue to send MAGA Mike back to Shreveport!,” the user wrote. The renewed discussion comes as the Election Day progresses on November 3, when voters across the United States cast ballots in congressional races. Control of both chambers remains central to the political battle over President Donald Trump's agenda.

这些言论引发了关于他作为众议院议长的未来及其在共和党内地位的猜测。

The comments prompted speculation about his future as House Speaker and his position within the Republican Party.

约翰逊对福克斯新闻表示,如果共和党失去立法多数派地位,他不应为此负责。

他将之前关于“草坪生意”的建议描述为“开玩笑的”,并坚称自己想继续在国会任职。“我的意图是留下来服务,”约翰逊说。他还表示有信心至少再担任两年议长。随着投票结束,民主党在中期选举中已取得几项关键胜利。这包括北卡罗来纳州的参议员席位,前州长罗伊·库珀击败了共和党人迈克尔·沃特利。参议员乔恩·奥索夫在佐治亚州成功连任,而民主党人克里斯·帕帕斯赢得了新罕布什尔州的空缺参议员席位。

He described his earlier lawn-business suggestion as “tongue in cheek” and insisted he wanted to continue serving in Congress. “My intention is to stay and serve,” Johnson said. He also expressed confidence that he would remain Speaker for at least another two years. As the voting closes, Democrats have secured several key victories in the midterm elections. This includes North Carolina’s Senate seat, where former governor Roy Cooper defeated Republican Michael Whatley. Senator Jon Ossoff also won re-election in Georgia, while Democrat Chris Pappas captured New Hampshire’s open Senate seat.
