保守派周二对2026年中期选举结果感到震惊，正试图消化这一新的政治版图。
Conservatives were left stunned by the results of the 2026 midterm elections Tuesday and are attempting to grapple with the new political landscape.
民主党在红州蓝州均占据主导，轻松夺回众议院和参议院两院控制权，并翻转了多个州长席位。民主党在许多2024年由唐纳德·特朗普总统赢得的州取得胜利，包括看似深红的得克萨斯州、南卡罗来纳州和堪萨斯州。保守派媒体人士对这场惨败感到目瞪口呆。
Democrats dominated in red and blue states alike, easily retaking both the House and Senate, as well as flipping several governorships. Democrats picked up victories in numerous states won by President Donald Trump in 2024, including seemingly deep-red spots like Texas, South Carolina, and Kansas. Members of conservative media were gobsmacked by the sweeping defeats.
“这是共和党灾难性的一个夜晚，”《华盛顿观察家报》专栏作家盖伊·本森在福克斯新闻频道上反应道。
"It is a catastrophic night for Republicans," Washington Examiner columnist Guy Benson reacted on FOX. "Sometimes you get your a-- kicked, and deserve it.
“有时你会被狠狠揍一顿，而且罪有应得。今晚就是共和党的这种时刻，”保守派电台主持人巴克·塞克斯顿在X平台上对结果做出反应。“错误太多了。信息传递糟糕。候选人烂。物价高企。一场不必要的战争，结果不如承诺。我们明天爬起来继续前行。但这里有教训。” “说实话，本周期大多数共和党候选人缺乏激情、懒惰，且是彻头彻尾无效的沟通者。对其中一些结果我并不感到太惊讶，”特朗普顾问亚历克斯·布鲁塞维茨说。
Tonight is one such time for the Republican Party," conservative radio host Buck Sexton reacted to the results on X. "Way too many mistakes. Bad messaging. Poor candidates. High prices. Unnecessary war that did not go as promised. We get up tomorrow and carry on. But there are lessons here." "Tbh most Republican candidates this cycle were uninspiring, lazy, and thoroughly ineffective communicators. I’m not all that surprised by some of these outcomes," Trump advisor Alex Bruesewitz said.
休伊·休伊特：2006年的幽灵正在苏醒——但它们能追上共和党吗？
HUGH HEWITT: THE GHOSTS OF 2006 ARE STIRRING — BUT WILL THEY CATCH THE GOP? "[Trump] picked a bunch of the bad ones," commentator Mary Katharine Ham wrote on X of the losing candidates.
“[特朗普]挑了一堆烂候选人，”评论员玛丽·凯瑟琳·哈姆在X上写道。许多人将惨败归咎于特朗普、与伊朗的战争以及汽油价格飙升。
Many pointed to Trump, the war with Iran and the surge in gas prices as being responsible for the devastating losses for his party. "Trump launched an unpopular and pointless war. Gas prices are too high. People can’t afford groceries.
“特朗普发动了一场不得人心且毫无意义的战争。汽油价格太高。民众买不起食品杂货。特朗普抛弃了‘美国优先’信息。这就是共和党被碾压的原因。道理很简单，”《每日连线》的马特·沃尔什写道。
Trump abandoned the American First message. This is why Republicans are getting crushed. It’s very simple," The Daily Wire's Matt Walsh wrote.
“这将是自2006年以来共和党最大的全国性溃败，当时选民因一场不明智且计划不周的中东战争而残酷地惩罚了共和党，”《联邦党人报》联合创始人肖恩·戴维斯说。
"This will be the biggest national wipeout for Republicans since 2006, when voters brutally punished the GOP for an ill-advised and poorly planned war in the Middle East," The Federalist co-founder Sean Davis said.
然而，保守派电台主持人埃里克·埃里克森坚持认为，问题远不止伊朗战争和油价。
However, conservative radio host Erick Erickson insisted the issues went far beyond the Iran war and gas prices. "It was also the corruption. The incompetence.
“还有腐败。无能。关税。对俄罗斯的友善。那种残忍的印象。过于激进的驱逐出境。误抓西班牙裔美国公民。傲慢。宴会厅。那个反映民意的民调。高尔夫球场。拱门。卡塔尔的747。激进的选区重划行动。对敌人的威胁，”埃里克森列举道。
The tariffs. The playing nice with Russia. The impression of cruelty.
《无情》播客的主持人们做客福克斯新闻频道，并开玩笑说随着夜色渐深，他们越来越想喝烈酒。
The overly aggressive deportations. The accidental arrests of American citizens who were Hispanic. The arrogance.
“我完全不认为这与政策有关。这是一次强烈的反弹，”乔什·霍姆斯对福克斯新闻的布雷特·拜尔说。
The ballroom. The reflecting poll. The golf courses.
“这是选民绝对的反弹，”康弗特布利·斯马格表示赞同。“他们不关心这些民主党人有什么政策。他们不关心民主党人提出的任何未来愿景，也不关心他们将如何对抗通胀……他们很愤怒，他们在发出自己的声音。”
The arch. The Qatari 747. The aggressive redistricting push. The threats against enemies," Erickson listed. The "Ruthless" podcast hosts appeared on Fox News Channel and joked about leaning towards hard liquor as the night progressed. "I don't think this was, at all, concerned with policy.
《无情》联合主持人迈克尔·邓肯认为，选民中存在一种“失调”，将拜登政府时期被否决的民主党政策与共和党“未能引起共鸣”的信息割裂开来。
This is a firm backlash," Josh Holmes told Fox News' Bret Baier. "This is an absolute backlash from the voters," Comfortably Smug agreed. "They aren't concerned with the policies these Democrats have.
“归根结底，选民投票依据的是他们当下的处境，而不是你投射到未来的可怕景象。不幸的是，这就是共和党的问题所在，”邓肯说。“无论是民主社会主义者候选人还是南卡罗来纳州的（安妮）安德鲁斯，都无关紧要。他们都在一股浪潮中一起崛起，与此无关。”随着结果陆续出炉，特朗普接受了多次采访，向民主党人表示祝贺，并表示愿意与控制国会的政党合作，也准备好动用否决权。
They aren't concerned with any kind of vision for the future that the Democrats are offering or how they're going to fight inflation… They are angry, and they're making their voices heard." "Ruthless" co-host Michael Duncan suggested there was a "dissonance" among voters separating the Democratic policies that were rejected under the Biden administration and that the GOP message "didn't resonate." "Ultimately, at the end of the day, the present condition of the voters is what they vote on, not the scary thing you project into the future. And unfortunately, that's the problem for the Republican Party," Duncan said. "It didn't matter if it was a DSA candidate or [Annie] Andrews in South Carolina. They all moved up in a wave together, irrespective of that." Trump did several interviews as the results rolled in, congratulating Democrats and saying he was willing to work with the party controlling Congress and also ready to use the veto.
特朗普表示，他认为自己在与伊朗的战争问题上拥有支持，但感觉选民不愿忍受汽油价格上涨带来的“短期”阵痛。他还表示，不觉得这是个人失败，因为他不在选票上。
Trump said he believed he had support on the war with Iran but felt voters weren't willing to put up with the "short-term" pain of higher gas prices. He also said he didn't feel like it was a personal defeat since he wasn't on the ballot.
“我认为民主党做得很好，”他对福克斯新闻说。“我真的这么认为。我认为他们做得很好。他们奋力拼搏。他们已经奋斗了很长时间。”
"I think the Democrats did a good job," he told Fox News. "I really do. I think they did a good job. They fought hard. They've been fighting for a long time.
