Midterms coverage: Live results | What to know | Stories around the country Stay connected: NPR Politics Podcast | NPR Politics newsletter | NPR app In a historic night for the Democratic Socialists of America, a record number of candidates endorsed by the organization and its local chapters were elected to the House of Representatives.
这一结果扩大了该组织在国会山的影响力，使国会出现了一个议员集团，今后将把选举成功转化为政策胜利，推动民主党进一步向左倾斜。
The results grow the organization's presence on Capitol Hill, bringing to Congress a bloc of lawmakers who will now look to translate their electoral success into policy wins that push the Democratic Party further to the left.
据美联社的选举结果显示，至少有五位在稳固的蓝色选区的 DSA 候选人赢得了选举。他们是纽约的 Darializa Avila Chevalier 和 Claire Valdez；科罗拉多的 Melat Kiros；密歇根的 Donavan McKinney；以及宾夕法尼亚的 Chris Rabb。
At least five DSA candidates in reliably blue congressional districts have won their races, according to race calls by the Associated Press. They are Darializa Avila Chevalier and Claire Valdez in New York; Melat Kiros in Colorado; Donavan McKinney in Michigan; and Chris Rabb in Pennsylvania.
他们的胜利紧随竞争激烈的初选周期，期间 DSA 候选人凭借倡导全民医疗保健、托儿服务等经济民粹政策以及更具争议的立场——如废除移民与海关执法局（ICE）——赢得选票。
Their victories follow a fiercely competitive primary cycle, where DSA candidates rode to victory by championing economic populist policies like universal healthcare and childcare, as well as more polarizing stances, such as abolishing Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
在整个初选期间，受到该组织支持的候选人毫不畏惧批评或与民主党领导层决裂，挑战在任议员或与体制内人选竞争。
Throughout the primaries, candidates endorsed by the group were unafraid to criticize or break with Democratic leadership, challenging sitting incumbents or competing against establishment picks.
其中包括 Kiros，她在七月击败了科罗拉多第 1 国会选区的戴安娜·德盖特（Diana DeGette）议员——这位拥有 15 任任期并且是国会进步核心小组成员的资深议员。就在几天前，Chevalier 在纽约第 13 国会选区上演重大冷门，以微弱优势击败了有影响力的国会西班牙裔议员团主席阿德里亚诺·埃斯帕亚特（Adriano Espaillat）。
That included Kiros, who defeated Rep. Diana DeGette — a 15-term incumbent and member of the Congressional Progressive Caucus — in Colorado's 1st Congressional District in July. Just days earlier, Chevalier delivered a major upset in New York's 13th Congressional District, narrowly defeating Adriano Espaillat, the influential chair of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus.
在强调旨在改善工人阶级的核心价值观的同时，许多民主社会主义者联盟（DSA）候选人还利用选民对更大政治体制的不满。候选人宣誓不接受来自企业和亲以色列游说团体的竞选捐款。他们强烈谴责加沙战争，并呼吁美国停止向以色列提供军事援助。
On top of emphasizing a core value set aimed at bettering the working class, many DSA candidates tapped into voter frustrations with the larger political system. Candidates swore off campaign donations from corporations and pro-Israel lobbying groups. They fiercely condemned the war in Gaza and called for the U.S. to stop supplying Israel with military aid.
虽然DSA的纲领激励了一部分左翼选民，但它也成为共和党人的主要攻击点，共和党人试图将更广泛的民主党描绘得过于激进，并将较为温和的候选人与像纽约市长Zohran Mamdani和众议员亚历山大娜·奥卡西奥‑科尔特斯（民主党‑纽约州）等民主社会主义人物联系起来。
While the DSA's platform energized some voters on the left, it also became a prominent attack line for Republicans, who sought to paint the broader Democratic Party as too extreme and link more moderate candidates to democratic socialist figures like New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y.
DSA并非注册政党，但随着周二的胜利，随着新国会于一月就职，DSA成员在众议院的数量有望超过三倍。目前仅有两位在任议员——密歇根州民主党议员Rashida Tlaib和奥卡西奥‑科尔特斯——是该组织成员。
The DSA is not a registered political party, but with Tuesday's victories, the number of DSA members in the House is on track to more than triple when the new Congress is seated in January. Currently just two sitting lawmakers — Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., and Ocasio-Cortez — are members of the organization.
这是一支规模虽小但在增长的联盟，如果他们成功帮助民主党夺回众议院，将可能使民主党的立法议程变得更加复杂。在新一届国会中，民主党仅拥有微弱多数时，这一阵营可能拥有超出其规模的影响力；如果民主党能够赢得更大多数，其影响力可能会受到限制。
It's a small, albeit growing coalition, but one that could complicate the legislative agenda of Democrats if they succeed in winning back the House. In a new Congress where Democrats have only a thin majority, the bloc could wield outsize influence. If Democrats can win a broader majority, their influence could prove more limited.
即将举行的众议院议长选举可能成为早期测试。如果民主党赢得众议院，纽约州民主党议员哈基姆·杰弗里斯将有望成为美国首位黑人议长。目前，尚无获得DSA背书的新人承诺支持杰弗里斯。
The upcoming vote for House speaker may serve as an early test. If Democrats win the House, Rep. Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., is poised to be elected the nation's first Black speaker. Currently, none of the incoming members with DSA endorsements has committed to supporting Jeffries.
