据Axios报道，众议院多数党领袖史蒂夫·斯卡利斯（共和党-路易斯安那州）正准备加入众议院共和党领袖职位的角逐，这为可能与司法委员会主席吉姆·乔丹（共和党-俄亥俄州）展开竞争埋下伏笔，此时共和党人正从期中选举失利中重新集结。此前，斯卡利斯在路易斯安那州第一国会选区赢得连任，重返美国众议院。
House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-La.) is preparing to enter the race for House Republican leadership, setting the stage for a possible contest with Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-Ohio), as Republicans regroup following their midterm losses, Axios reported. This comes as Scalise won reelection to U.S. House in Louisiana’s 1st Congressional DistrictMeanwhile, Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) has ruled out his bid for minority leader, opening the way for a leadership contest ahead of the party’s November 10 elections, as per AP.
与此同时，据美联社报道，议长迈克·约翰逊（共和党-路易斯安那州）已排除自己竞选少数党领袖的可能性，为党内11月10日选举前的领袖职位角逐打开了大门。史蒂夫·斯卡利斯是谁？史蒂夫·斯卡利斯是来自路易斯安那州的资深共和党议员，自2008年以来一直代表该州第一国会选区。他曾担任众议院多数党党鞭，目前担任众议院多数党领袖。
Who is Steve Scalise?A senior Republican lawmaker from Louisiana, Steve Scalise has represented the state's 1st Congressional District since 2008. He previously served as House Majority Whip and currently holds the position of House Majority Leader.
凭借在共和党领导层十多年的经验，斯卡利斯将自己定位为一位经验丰富的候选人，能够团结共和党人并带领该党完成向少数党的过渡。参议员特德·克鲁兹预测，随着民主党人获得国会控制权，针对特朗普的“无休止弹劾”将会到来一位了解其计划的人士对Axios表示：“他是一位经过验证和考验的领导人，第一天就准备就绪。他整个职业生涯都在团结共和党人，并且为即将到来的重大立法和监督战斗做好了准备。党团了解他、了解他如何战斗，也知道他是一位值得信赖的领导人。”
With more than a decade of experience in GOP leadership, Scalise is positioning himself as a seasoned candidate capable of uniting Republicans and leading the party through its transition into the minority. Senator Ted Cruz predicts ‘relentless impeachment’ against Trump as Democrats gain Congressional control"He is a proven and tested leader who is ready on day one. He's spent his career unifying Republicans and he is prepared for the big legislative and oversight battles ahead. The conference knows him, how he fights, and that he's a trusted leader," the person familiar with his plans told Axios.A second shot at the top jobThis is Scalise’s second attempt to secure the House GOP's top leadership position.
第二次冲击最高职位这是斯卡利斯第二次尝试获得众议院共和党最高领导职位。2023年10月，他在共和党党团的秘密投票中击败吉姆·乔丹，成为议长候选人。然而，一天后，由于未能在众议院获得足够支持，他宣布退出。在数周党内分歧之后，迈克·约翰逊最终赢得了议长职位。乔丹可能成为挑战者斯卡利斯与乔丹的潜在对决将使两位知名共和党人物正面交锋。
In October 2023, he defeated Jim Jordan in the Republican conference's secret-ballot vote to become its nominee for Speaker. However, he withdrew a day later after failing to secure enough support on the House floor. Mike Johnson eventually won the speakership following weeks of internal party divisions. Jordan could emerge as a challengerA potential Scalise-Jordan contest would bring two prominent Republican figures head-to-head.
虽然斯卡利斯拥有丰富的领导层经验优势，但乔丹可能获得该党保守派的支持。然而，中期选举失利的规模在党内引发了要求彻底更换领导层的呼声，这可能会使斯卡利斯的竞选变得复杂。
While Scalise has the advantage of extensive leadership experience, Jordan could attract backing from the party's conservative wing. However, the scale of the midterm losses has sparked calls within the party for a complete leadership overhaul, potentially complicating Scalise's bid.
接下来会怎样？多数党党鞭汤姆·埃默（共和党-明尼苏达州）也在努力争取支持，以保住他在少数党领导团队中的职位。众议院共和党人定于11月10日选举新领导层，候选人须在周五截止日期前宣布参选。获胜者需要在无记名投票中获得多数支持。
What lies ahead? Majority Whip Tom Emmer (R-Minn.) is also working to secure support to retain his position in the minority leadership team. House Republicans are scheduled to elect their new leadership on November 10, with candidates facing a Friday deadline to declare their bids. The winner will need majority support in a secret-ballot vote.
唐纳德·特朗普总统也可能发挥重要作用，共和党议员正密切关注他是否会背书某位候选人。
President Donald Trump could also play a significant role, with Republican lawmakers closely watching whether he endorses a candidate.
