华盛顿——周二，选民对总统特朗普及其所在政党进行了惊人的谴责，在对经济普遍感到不满的背景下，剥夺了共和党对国会的控制权，并将新一代民主党议员推向权力宝座。
WASHINGTON—Voters delivered an astonishing rebuke to President Trump and his party on Tuesday, stripping Republicans of congressional control amid widespread frustrations with the economy and elevating a new class of Democratic lawmakers to power.
这场反对浪潮比许多分析人士预测的还要震撼，选民们将对伊朗战争、汽油和食品的高昂成本、据称存在的政府腐败以及许多人认为过于激进的移民执法的不满发泄了出来。
The backlash was more stunning than many analysts predicted, with voters taking out their anger over the war in Iran, the high cost of gasoline and groceries, alleged government corruption and what many saw as overly aggressive immigration enforcement.
午夜之前，一股蓝色浪潮席卷了该国的大部分地区，民主党人在特朗普仅仅在两年前以两位数优势获胜的许多众议院选区取得了胜利，其中包括共和党为本轮选举重新划界以利于自己的某些选区。得克萨斯州、南卡罗来纳州和堪萨斯州等坚定的共和党州也出现了民主党赢得参议院席位的情况。以下是本次选举的五大要点，选举结果在周二晚间仍在陆续出炉：经济忧虑成为选民关注的重中之重过去一年里，共和党在经济问题上的选举优势丧失殆尽，这一点在周二显露无遗。
Before midnight, a blue wave had crashed over large parts of the country, as Democrats scored victories in multiple House districts Trump had won by double digits just two years ago, including some that the GOP had redrawn to favor them this cycle. Staunchly Republican states such as Texas, South Carolina and Kansas saw Democratic Senate wins. Here are five takeaways from the election, the results of which were still coming in late Tuesday:Economic worries front and center for votersRepublicans over the past year lost their electoral advantage on the economy and it showed on Tuesday.
根据为美联社以及各大电视和有线新闻网对7.9万多名登记选民进行的民意调查结果显示，大约十分之九的选民表示，生活成本是他们在考虑如何投票时的一个至关重要或主要的因素。近三分之二的选民表示，通货膨胀上升更多是由于特朗普的政策造成的。大约十分之五的选民表示，他们对食品价格感到非常担忧，对汽油或柴油价格抱有同等程度担忧的比例也与之相似。
Roughly nine in 10 voters said the cost of living was a crucial or major factor in their thinking on how to vote, according to results from a poll of more than 79,000 registered voters, conducted for the Associated Press and all the major television and cable news networks. Almost two-thirds said inflation was up more because of Trump’s policies. Roughly six in 10 voters said they were very concerned about the cost of food, with a similar proportion registering that level of worry about the price of gasoline or diesel.
特朗普曾誓言让美国远离战争并承诺迎来“黄金时代”。但他今年早些时候决定加入以色列对伊朗的战争，在政治上被证明是灾难性的，它挤压了全球能源市场，并在整个经济中引发连锁反应。超过十分之六的选民表示，美国采取军事行动的决定是错误的。
Trump vowed to get America out of wars and promised a “golden age.”But his decision earlier this year to join Israel in a war against Iran proved politically disastrous, squeezing global energy markets and rippling throughout the economy. More than six in 10 voters said the U.S. made the wrong decision in taking military action there.
这位总统进一步淡化了汽油价格成本，同时又大肆吹嘘国内石油生产商赚了多少钱，这进一步损害了共和党人的利益。特朗普的关税也起到了推高消费者成本的作用。他孤注一掷地承诺，如果共和党人保住国会，就给每个美国成年人发5000美元，但选民们并不买账。选民拒绝了特朗普的议程特朗普曾经有一句名言：“只有我能解决问题”，而在选举前的筹备阶段，他也采纳了自己的建议，将自己推到了选举的中心。
The president further hurt Republicans by playing down the cost of gas, while bragging about how much domestic oil producers were making. Trump’s tariffs also worked to push up consumer costs. He tried a Hail Mary, promising to give every adult American $5,000 if Republicans held congress, but voters didn’t buy that promise. Voters rejected Trump’s agendaTrump once famously said, “I alone can fix it,” and in the run-up to the election, he took his own advice, thrusting himself into the middle of the election.
许多共和党人承认，在最后一个月里，他每天都举行集会，主要是在红色州（支持共和党的州），但他的公开露面反而让事情变得更糟。
In the final month, he did daily rallies, primarily in red states, but his appearances only made things worse, many Republicans conceded.
候选人们曾希望特朗普对选民的经济担忧表现出更多的同情。然而，更多时候，特朗普的行为本身成了新闻。他那马拉松式的集会充斥着夸大其词、激进的言论和低俗的言论，包括他对男性身体的执念。在选举前夜，特朗普在林肯纪念堂倒影池旁举行了一场活动，大谈他在华盛顿对该地标及其他心仪项目的全面改造。周二上午，特朗普表示：“通胀已经解决了。”
Candidates wanted Trump to show more empathy for voters’ economic concerns. More often, though, Trump’s behavior became the story. His marathon rallies were punctuated with exaggerations, heated rhetoric and off-color remarks, including his fixation on men’s bodies. On the eve of the election, Trump held an event at the Lincoln Memorial reflecting pool, speaking extensively of his overhaul of the site and other pet projects across Washington. On Tuesday morning, Trump said, “Inflation is solved.”
共和党人表示，综合来看，特朗普显得越来越脱离普通美国民众的关切。这位总统曾告诉选民要表现得好像他本人就在选票上一样，而选民们也确实这么做了——对他的领导力给予了严厉的训斥。民主党的崛起引发了重大冲突预计民主党人将以舒适的优势赢得众议院，其获得的席位将足以给民主党领袖哈基姆·杰弗里斯提供一个缓冲空间，让他能够喘口气，以应对少数试图将他拉向左翼的民主党社会主义者。
Taken together, Republicans said Trump looked increasingly out of touch with the concerns of everyday Americans. The president told voters to act like he was on the ballot, and they did—delivering a stark admonishment of his leadership. Democratic rise sets up big clashesDemocrats were expected to win the House by a comfortable margin—with enough seats to give Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries a cushion that could provide some breathing room to work around a handful of Democratic socialists trying to push him to the left.
民主党人也赢得了参议院，这是华盛顿权力的一次戏剧性巨变。现在，民主党人必须围绕一项议程实现团结，并决定以多大的力度对总统及其政治盟友展开调查。一个分裂的政府引发了特朗普与民主党人之间在方方面面针锋麦仕的冲突，从政府拨款、对伊朗战争到取消关税和提高债务上限。众议院和参议院的多数席位还将赋予民主党传唤权，以调查特朗普、他的政府、他的家人和他的企业。
Democrats took the Senate as well, a dramatic upheaval of power in Washington. Now, Democrats will have to unify around an agenda and decide how aggressively they should pursue investigations into the president and his political allies.A divided government sets up clashes between Trump and Democrats over everything from funding the government and the Iran war to repealing tariffs and raising the debt ceiling. Majorities in the House and the Senate would also give Democrats subpoena power to investigate Trump, his administration, his family and his businesses. “Lawyer up,” Rep. Robert Garcia (D., Calif.), poised to take control of the House Oversight Committee, wrote on social media on Tuesday night.
“请好律师吧，”即将掌控众议院监督委员会的众议员罗伯特·加西亚（民主党-加利福尼亚州）周二晚间在社交媒体上写道。特朗普已经进入防御姿态，誓言要利用其否决权并反击自由派政策。“系好安全带，”一个态度挑衅的白宫表示。共和党的选区重划努力遭遇惨败在白宫的领导下，共和党人去年发起了一项全国性努力，试图在期中选举前重新划分国会选区，以利于该党。
Trump has already entered a defensive posture, vowing to use his veto power and fight back against liberal policies. “Buckle up,” a defiant White House said. Republicans’ redistricting efforts floppedRepublicans, led by the White House, launched a nationwide effort last year to redraw congressional districts in the party’s favor ahead of the midterms. Democrats countered with their own push, successfully making five congressional districts more favorable to Democrats in California.
民主党人则以自己的行动予以回击，成功让加利福尼亚州的五个国会选区对民主党更加有利。
An early test of whether the GOP redistricting helped the party pick up seats came in Florida, where Republicans had hoped to flip as many as four seats thanks to new boundaries.
共和党重划选区是否有助于该党夺得席位的一个早期考验出现在佛罗里达州，由于新边界的划定，共和党曾希望翻转多达四个席位。但他们最终在特朗普于2024年以9个百分点或更多优势获胜的选区中失去了至少三个席位，还有一个选区胜负难分，而在两年前，特朗普在该选区曾以18个百分点的优势获胜。
But they ended up losing at least three of those seats in districts Trump won by 9 percentage points or more in 2024, with one too close to call in a district that Trump won by 18 percentage points two years ago. Other examples include North Carolina, where a GOP attempt to beat Rep. Don Davis (D., N.C.) was failing on Tuesday.
其他例子包括北卡罗来纳州，共和党击败众议员唐·戴维斯（民主党-北卡罗来纳州）的企图在周二宣告失败。亚拉巴马州的第二选区和俄亥俄州的第一选区也落入了民主党手中。
Alabama’s second district and Ohio’s first district went to Democrats as well. In some cases, Republicans spread their own voters so thin to pick up Democratic seats that they endangered their own incumbents, including Reps.
在某些情况下，共和党人为争夺民主党席位而将自己的选民摊得太薄，以至于危及了他们自己的现任议员，其中包括众议员……布拉德·诺特（Brad Knott）、弗吉尼亚·福克斯（Virginia Foxx）、理查德·哈德森（Richard Hudson）和蒂姆·穆尔（Tim Moore）在北卡罗来纳州。MAGA联盟出现裂痕初步结果显示，2024年帮助特朗普重掌权力的美国多元化联盟（包括拉美裔选民、黑人选民和没有大学学历的白人选民）开始背离他，因为承诺的经济收益被战争消磨殆尽，且移民执法手段被许多人视为过于极端。

Cracks formed in the MAGA coalitionPreliminary results showed the diverse coalition of Americans that helped return Trump to power in 2024, including Hispanic voters, Black voters and white non-college-educated voters, turned away from him as promised economic gains were consumed by the war and immigration enforcement tactics were seen as too extreme for many.
民主党人夺回了特朗普在这些群体中取得的成果。出口民调显示，在2024年，民主党以6个百分点的优势赢得独立选民。这一次，这一优势飙升至17个百分点。
Democrats carved back Trump’s gains among those groups. In 2024, Democrats won independent voters by 6 percentage points. This time, the advantage shot to 17 percentage points, exit polls showed.
