共和党众议员南希·梅斯指责参议院多数党领袖约翰·图恩阻挠《拯救美国法案》，因为民主党在2026年中期选举中取得进展。她指责图恩在选民投票前未能加强选举保障。
Republican Rep. Nancy Mace blamed Senate Majority Leader John Thune for blocking the SAVE America Act as Democrats gained ground in the 2026 midterm elections. She accused Thune of failing to strengthen election safeguards before voters went to the polls.“Reminder: We have John Thune to thank for not passing the SAVE America Act and securing our elections earlier,” Mace wrote in a post on X. The criticism came as Democrats moved closer to taking control of Congress, with early projections showing strong performances in competitive House and Senate races.
“提醒一下：我们要感谢约翰·图恩，使《拯救美国法案》未能通过，选举得以提前得到保障，”梅斯在X上的一篇帖子中写道。此番批评恰逢民主党接近掌控国会，早期预测显示其在竞争激烈的众议院和参议院选区表现强劲。查看2026年美国中期选举的实时报道。随着民主党势头增强，共和党内部出现指责早期结果显示民主党有望取得重大胜利，包括预计翻转北卡罗来纳州的参议院席位以及在数个竞争激烈的众议院选区取得进展。结果引发保守派活动人士的批评，他们指责共和党领导层未能推进特朗普支持的议程。

The results triggered criticism from conservative activists who blamed Republican leadership for failing to advance Trump-backed priorities.
保守派评论员如冈瑟·伊格尔曼也批评图恩在《拯救美国法案》上的表现。该法案已在共和党控制的众议院通过，却在参议院停滞。他写道：“约翰·图恩，共和党控制了众议院和参议院，但你未能兑现。你拥有多数，你拥有机会。你选择了软弱而非领导。爱国者永远不会忘记你未采取行动的失败。”
Conservative commentators like Gunther Eagleman, also criticised Thune over the SAVE America Act. The bill passed the Republican-led House but stalled in the Senate. He wrote, “John Thune, Republicans controlled the House and Senate, yet you failed to deliver. You had the majority. You had the opportunity. You chose weakness over leadership. Patriots will NEVER forget your failure to act.”
他补充说：“今晚我们掌控参议院后，你应立即被免职。”《拯救美国法案》成为特朗普阵营的共和党人与参议院领导层之间最大的分歧点之一。特朗普多次敦促参议院通过该法案，并呼吁立法者考虑修改阻挠议事规则。图恩反对取消阻挠议事规则，辩称共和党未来可能需要该规则来阻止民主党立法。
He added, “After we hold the Senate tonight you should be removed immediately.”The SAVE America Act became one of the biggest points of disagreement between Trump-aligned Republicans and Senate leadership. Trump repeatedly pushed the Senate to pass the bill and urged lawmakers to consider changing filibuster rules. Thune opposed eliminating the filibuster, arguing Republicans could need the rule in the future to block Democratic legislation.
图恩此前为自己的立场辩护，称参议院规则以及缺乏足够票数阻碍了该措施的推进。
Thune had previously defended his position, saying Senate rules and the lack of sufficient votes prevented the measure from moving forward.
共和党需要民主党支持才能突破参议院阻挠议事规则的门槛，除非他们修改议院规则。
Republicans needed Democratic support to overcome the Senate filibuster threshold unless they changed the chamber’s rules.'
“本可以大获全胜”：特朗普将中期选举中民主党取得的进步归咎于自己未在票箱上中期选举失利加大了对桑恩和共和党领导层的压力选举结果加剧了人们对共和党未来走向的疑问。民主党目前有望掌控两院，这对唐纳德·特朗普总统和国会共和党人来说是一次重大挫折。共和党在选举中捍卫两院的微弱多数。
Would have won in a landslide': Trump blames Democratic gains in midterms on him not being on the ballotMidterm losses increase pressure on Thune and GOP leadershipThe election results intensified questions about the future direction of the Republican Party. Democrats are currently positioned to take control of both chambers, creating a major setback for President Donald Trump and congressional Republicans. Republicans entered the election defending narrow majorities in both chambers.
民主党已经推翻了参议院的共和党多数。全国各地的竞争性选举高度聚焦经济问题、通胀、医疗费用以及选民对政府伊朗战争的失望。
Democrats have already overturned the Republican majority in the Senate. Competitive races across the country focused heavily on economic concerns, inflation, healthcare costs and voter dissatisfaction with the administration's Iran war.
与此同时，桑恩继续为自己的领导记录辩护。他说共和党取得了多项立法胜利，并辩称选举结果是由更广泛的全国因素塑造的，而非单一立法。
Thune, meanwhile, continued to defend his leadership record. He said Republicans had achieved several legislative victories and argued that election results were shaped by broader national factors rather than a single piece of legislation.
