保守派评论员斯科特·詹宁斯周二称共和党在2026年中期选举中的失利是一场“全国性惨败”。
Conservative commentator Scott Jennings on Tuesday called the GOP’s losses in the 2026 midterms a “country a– whooping.”
“听着，我不会粉饰太平。政治学上有个术语形容正在发生的事，叫‘全国性惨败’。这就是现在正在发生的事，全方位的，”詹宁斯周二晚间在CNN上表示。
“Well, look, I’m not going to sugarcoat it. There’s a political science term for what’s happening. It’s called a country a– whooping. That’s what’s happening right now, across the board,” Jennings said on CNN Tuesday night.
“听着，你知道，发生这一切有很多原因。最直接的问题是生活成本和汽油价格，这就是底线，”他补充道。“你可以从中解读出很多其他东西。你可以为此、为那、为别的感到欢欣鼓舞。但归根结底，美国人民有眼前的现实担忧，这才是你必须从中吸取的教训。”
“Look, you know, there’s a lot of reasons for what’s happening right now. The most immediate issue is cost of living and gas prices, and that is the bottom line,” he added. “You could read into a lot of other things. You can be jubilant about this, that, or the other. But at the end of the day, the American people have here and now concerns, and that’s really the lesson you got to take away from this.”
民主党周二锁定了国会两院的控制权，极有可能在未来两年阻挠特朗普总统的政策议程。
Democrats locked down both chambers of Congress on Tuesday, most likely stymieing President Trump’s policy agenda for the next two years.
由于特朗普的支持率下滑、伊朗战争的不得人心以及生活成本担忧，共和党在本次选举周期面临艰难的战局。
Republicans faced an uphill battle this election cycle due to Trump’s slumping approval rating, the unpopularity of the war in Iran and cost of living concerns.
据《国会山报》合作伙伴Decision Desk HQ（DDHQ）的民调平均值显示，周三晚间特朗普的支持率为38.4%，不支持率为58.7%。
According to a polling average from The Hill’s partner Decision Desk HQ (DDHQ), Trump’s approval rating was sitting at 38.4 percent on Wednesday evening, with his disapproval rating at 58.7 percent.
根据DDHQ预测，民主党在参议院的党团席位将从47席增至55席，在众议院的席位将从214席增至261席。他们还在得克萨斯州和堪萨斯州等历史上倾向共和党的州取得了胜利。
Democrats are projected to go from 47 seats in their Senate caucus to 55, according to DDHQ, and from 214 seats in the House to 261. They also notched victories in states like Texas and Kansas, states that have historically leaned red.
