据挪威广播公司NRK报道，挪威外交大臣埃斯彭·巴尔特·艾德周三将美国中期选举的结果形容为“民主的胜利”，并对共和党人接受选举结果表示欢迎。
Norwegian Foreign Minister Espen Barth Eide on Wednesday described the outcome of the US midterm elections as a "victory for democracy," welcoming Republicans' acceptance of the results, broadcaster NRK reported.
艾德说：“这里的选举进行得很顺利，落败的一方，也就是特朗普和共和党人，已经承认了结果。我认为我们应当为此感到高兴。在我们这个时代，这本身就很重要。”
"The election here has gone well, and the losing party, namely Trump and the Republicans, has recognized the outcome. I think we should be happy about that. That in itself is important in our day and age," Eide said.
他将这一结果解读为美国选民已对MAGA运动和政治极化感到厌倦的迹象。
He interpreted the results as a sign that American voters had grown tired of the MAGA movement and political polarization.
他还说：“我认为这非常清楚地表明，美国多数民众已经受够了MAGA，想要一条不同的路线。他们已经受够了极化。”
“I think this is very much a very clear response from the American majority that they have had enough of MAGA and want a different course. They have had enough of polarization,” he added.
艾德承认，美国总统在外交政策上仍拥有重大影响力，但他认为，选举结果将限制特朗普按照自己的意愿重塑这个国家的能力。
Eide acknowledged that the US president retained significant influence over foreign policy but argued that the election outcome would limit Trump's ability to reshape the country in his own image.
西维塔智库的挪威经济分析师凯蒂尔·索尔维克-奥尔森表示，选举结果表明，美国社会的政治分歧没有人们通常描绘的那样严重。
Norwegian economic analyst Ketil Solvik-Olsen of the Civita think tank said the results suggested that American society was less politically divided than often portrayed.
索尔维克-奥尔森说：“美国人并不像人们希望的那样极化。上层是极化的，但基层未必如此。”
"Americans are not as polarized as people would like them to be. It is polarized at the top, but not necessarily at the grassroots," Solvik-Olsen said.
他认为，极端声音往往主导美国的政治辩论，而许多美国人持更为温和的观点。
He argued that extreme voices often dominated US political debate, while many Americans held more moderate views.
美国总统唐纳德·特朗普表示，他会接受选举结果，并准备与民主党人合作。
US President Donald Trump said he would accept the election results and was prepared to cooperate with Democrats.
据引述，特朗普说：“我期待与他们合作，我们会把事情解决好的。”特朗普还承认，伊朗问题在一定程度上导致了共和党的失利。
"I look forward to working with them, we'll figure it out," Trump was quoted as saying. Trump also acknowledged that the Iran issue had partly contributed to Republican losses.
在11月3日的中期选举中，民主党赢得了美国国会两院的控制权，结束了共和党对众议院和参议院的控制。新的国会多数党定于2027年1月就职。
Democrats won control of both chambers of the US Congress in the Nov. 3 midterm elections, ending Republican control of the House of Representatives and Senate. The new congressional majorities are scheduled to take office in January 2027.
