共和党人将唐纳德·特朗普在中期选举中的失利归咎于他的伊朗战争、关税政策和个人风格,并敦促他“清理门户”、改弦易辙。
Republicans blamed Donald Trump’s midterm losses on his Iran war, tariffs and style, and urged him to “clean house” and change course.
民主党如今控制了国会,因此他们可以阻挠他的立法、调查他的团队并质询他的提名人选,这可能迫使特朗普更多地依赖行政行动。
Democrats now control Congress, so they can block his laws, investigate his team and challenge his nominees, which may force more executive action.
白宫内部士气低落,工作人员预计会有人事震荡和调查,而特朗普表示他不认为这次投票是对他的打击。
Inside the White House, morale is low and staff expect shake-ups and probes, while Trump says he does not see the vote as a hit on him.
AI生成 华盛顿——在中期选举惨败、民主党夺得国会控制权、选民在关键竞选中拒绝了他精心挑选的候选人后,美国总统唐纳德·特朗普于11月4日面临来自共和党的压力,要求他改变方针。
AI generated WASHINGTON – US President Donald Trump faced pressure from Republicans on Nov 4 to change course after a midterm election rout handed Democrats control of Congress and voters rejected his handpicked candidates in key races.
共和党盟友和策略师呼吁特朗普震荡白宫人事、恢复纪律,并废除他们归咎为失利原因的政策,包括伊朗战争和关税,因为他的总统任期已进入最后几年。
Republican allies and strategists called for Trump to shake up his White House personnel, restore discipline and scrap policies they blamed for the losses, including the Iran war and tariffs, as his presidency enters its final years.
资深共和党策略师约翰·费里称选举结果是给特朗普带来的“巨大灾难”。
Veteran Republican strategist John Feehery called the results a “huge disaster” for Trump.
“他需要清理门户,”费里说。“从现在起,他每一天都变得更加瘫痪无力。”但特朗普几乎没有表现出将选举结果视为改变方向理由的迹象。
“He needs to clean house,” Feehery said. “Every day from this point forward, he’s becoming more and more lame.”But Trump showed little indication that he viewed the election outcome as a reason to change direction.
“我不认为这是对我的打击,”他在11月3日晚对福克斯新闻表示。
“I don’t view it as a hit on me,” he told Fox News late on Nov 3.
民主党现在将拥有阻挠特朗普立法、调查其政府和质询其提名人选的权力。预计这将推动特朗普——他已大量动用行政权力——更多地依赖单边行动。
Democrats will now have the power to block Trump’s legislation, investigate his administration and challenge his nominees. That is expected to push Trump, who has already used executive authority aggressively, towards an even greater reliance on unilateral action.
他还将不得不决定是否在一些共和党人担心已成为政治累赘的议程上孤注一掷,特别是对于那些觊觎2028年白宫之争的潜在继任者而言。
He will also have to decide whether to double down on an agenda that some Republicans fear has become a political liability, particularly for potential successors eyeing White House bids in 2028.
被视为特朗普可能的政治继承人的副总统J.D.万斯,于11月4日似乎与总统拉开了一些距离,将中期选举失利归咎于伊朗战争。战略家和党内官员表示,如果共和党人认为特朗普长期以来对党内选民的控制力正在减弱,这种决裂可能会变得更加普遍。
Vice-President J.D. Vance, who is viewed as Trump’s likely political heir, appeared to put some distance between himself and the President on Nov 4, blaming the Iran war for the midterm losses. Such breaks could become more common if Republicans conclude Trump’s longtime grip on the party’s voters is weakening, strategists and party officials said.
白宫为人事震荡、调查做准备 白宫内部,高级助手们正为员工离职、可能的内阁改组以及民主党的调查做准备,一位要求匿名的高级官员透露。
White House braces itself for staff shake-up, investigations Inside the White House, senior aides were bracing themselves for staff departures, possible Cabinet changes and Democratic investigations, according to a senior official who spoke on condition of anonymity.
“现在在这里简直糟透了,”该官员说。“士气低到了极点。”该官员表示,内部民调在选前六周就已警告共和党将在两院均遭遇失利,但特朗普拒绝在伊朗问题上改变方向,尽管已收到关于政治后果的警告。
“It absolutely sucks to be here right now,” the official said. “Morale is as low as it can get.”The official said internal polling had warned six weeks before the election that Republicans were headed for losses in both chambers, but Trump refused to change course on Iran despite warnings about the political consequences.
“归根结底,他就是不在乎,”该官员说。“他拒绝听取任何人的意见。”特朗普于11月3日晚承认,持续八个月的伊朗战争损害了共和党候选人,但为他发动冲突的决定进行了辩护。
“Ultimately, he just didn’t care,” the official said. “He refused to listen to anyone.”Trump acknowledged late on Nov 3 that the eight-month-old Iran war had hurt Republican candidates but defended his decision to launch the conflict.
共和党的担忧不止于战争。一位共和党政治顾问称,在为密歇根州和爱荷华州等地的竞争性参议院选战进行的焦点小组测试中,全国共和党政治顾问在2026年夏季越来越担忧,因为越来越多的共和党和独立选民对总统专注于白宫舞厅和华盛顿装修工程表示反对。
Republican concerns extended beyond the war. In focus groups conducted for competitive Senate races in places like Michigan and Iowa, national Republican political advisers grew increasingly concerned in the summer of 2026 as more Republican and independent voters voiced opposition to the President’s focus on the White House ballroom and Washington renovations, a Republican political adviser said.
“如果特朗普在未来两年还在谈论这些破事,我们在下一次选举中又会惨败,”该顾问说。
“If Trump spends the next two years talking about this same shit, we will get shellacked again in the next election,” the adviser said.
然而在11月4日,特朗普召集记者即兴前往舞厅建设工地,为他投入该项目的时间进行辩护。“对我来说这很放松,”他说。
Yet on Nov 4, Trump gathered reporters for an impromptu visit to the ballroom construction site and defended the time he has devoted to the project. “For me it’s relaxing,” he said.
白宫也在公开场合表现出强硬姿态,在社交媒体上发布了一张特朗普的照片,并配文:“公共服务公告:特朗普仍然是你们的总统。” 特朗普依然掌握相当大的权力。路透社此前报道,白宫已花费数月时间准备关于移民、关税、住房和联邦开支的行政行动,这可能让他在民主党反对的情况下仍能推进部分议程。但行政权力将无法使政府免受国会调查。“没人想应对这些调查,”这位官员说。
The White House also struck a defiant public tone, posting a photograph of Trump on social media with the message: “PSA: TRUMP IS STILL YOUR PRESIDENT.”Trump still holds considerable power. Reuters previously reported that the White House has spent months preparing executive actions on immigration, tariffs, housing and federal spending that could allow him to advance parts of his agenda despite Democratic opposition. But executive authority will not be able to shield the administration from congressional probes. “Nobody wants to deal with the investigations,” the official said.
