参议院多数党领袖约翰·图恩（共和党-南达科他州）周三凌晨宣布，随着民主党试图通过增税或恢复对受欢迎项目的削减开支来逆转特朗普总统第一任期的成就，共和党人“不会袖手旁观”。图恩还对特朗普在未来两年仍将留在白宫表示感激，因为他可以否决民主党控制的参议院和众议院通过的任何立法。“当我们迈向2027年时，参议院共和党人不会在民主党极左社会主义翼试图推翻我们所做的一切时袖手旁观。值得庆幸的是，我们仍有特朗普总统在白宫，我们将与他合作，阻止民主党极端主义最恶劣的冲动，”这位参议员在社交平台X上发文写道。
Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.) declared early Wednesday morning that Republicans ‘will not stand idly by’ as Democrats try to reverse the accomplishments of President Trump’s first two years in office by raising taxes or restoring spending cuts to popular programs. And Thune expressed his gratitude that Trump will still be in office over the next two years to veto any legislation passed by a Democratic-controlled Senate and House. “As we head into 2027, Senate Republicans will not stand idly by as the far-left, socialist wing of the Democrat Party attempts to unwind everything we’ve done. Thankfully, we still have President Trump in the White House, and we’ll work with him to stop the worst impulses of Democrat extremism,” the senator posted to social platform X. “We cannot let their fringe positions become the mainstream,” he added.
“我们不能让他们的边缘立场成为主流，”他补充道。由领袖查克·舒默（民主党-纽约州）领导的参议院民主党人将把续期扩大的《平价医疗法案》医疗保险补贴作为2027年的首要任务，该补贴已于今年年初到期。他们还将寻求取消特朗普的《 One Big Beautiful Bill Act》中颁布的大规模企业减税以及对医疗补助和补充营养援助计划（SNAP）的削减，共和党人后来将该法案更名为“工薪家庭税收计划”。
Senate Democrats, led by Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.), will make renewing the expanded Affordable Care Act health insurance subsidies, which expired at the beginning of the year, a top priority in 2027. They will also seek to unwind the big corporate tax cuts and cuts to Medicaid and the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) enacted in Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill Act, which Republicans later renamed the “Working Families Tax Plan.”
舒默在选举之夜告诉记者，民主党人还将优先解决美国的负担能力危机，并调查特朗普政府的“腐败”。他指出，新的民主党多数派的“首要重点必须是为美国人民创造他们最需要的成果：特朗普强加给他们的高成本。”这位纽约民主党人补充说，第二优先事项将是“打击腐败”。“这是美国历史上最腐败的政府，”他说。图恩还为特朗普和参议院共和党人自2024年大选以来的记录进行了辩护。
Schumer told reporters on Election Night that Democrats will also prioritize addressing the affordability crisis in America and investigating “corruption” in the Trump administration. He noted the new Democratic majorities’ “number one focus has to be producing for the American people in terms of their number one need: the high costs that Trump has imposed on them.”The second priority would be to “go after the corruption,” the New York Democrat added. “This is the most corrupt administration in American history,” he said. Thune also defended Trump’s and Senate Republicans’ records since the 2024 election.
他在帖子中继续写道：“过去两年，参议院共和党人取得了强有力的成就记录，让街道更安全、让美国人钱包更鼓，并为家庭和企业创造新的上升机会。”这位共和党领袖辩称：“在一次次击退民主党人的阻挠后，我们阻止了美国历史上最大规模的增税，以前所未有的方式守住了边境，以二十年来最快的速度确认了总统的内阁人选，并以自里根政府以来最快的速度在全国各地任命了强有力的保守派法官。”
“Over the last two years, Senate Republicans have put up a strong record of accomplishment that’s created safer streets, more money in Americans’ pockets, and new opportunities for families and businesses to get ahead,” he continued in the post. “After fighting Democrat obstruction at every turn, we prevented the largest tax hike in American history, secured our border in an unprecedented way, confirmed the president’s Cabinet at the fastest pace in two decades, and put strong conservative judges on benches across the country faster than we have since the Reagan administration,” the GOP leader argued.
