在周二的中期选举中，民主党在印度裔美国人人口集中度最高的国会选区占据主导地位，根据《印度斯坦时报》对选举数据的分析，在印度裔人口最集中的前100个选区中，民主党赢得了84个席位。除了保住许多传统的民主党席位外，该党还从共和党手中夺取了六个席位，共和党的席位数降至15个。印度裔美国政客阿米什·沙阿在亚利桑那州第1选区的竞选结果尚未揭晓，但目前领先于现任共和党议员，若当选将进一步增加民主党的席位数。
The Democratic Party dominated congressional districts with large Indian-American populations in Tuesday’s midterm elections, winning 84 of the 100 seats with the largest concentrations of the community, an HT analysis of election data found. In addition to retaining many of these traditionally Democratic seats, the party wrested six from Republicans, whose tally fell to 15. Indian-American politician Amish Shah, whose race in Arizona’s 1st district has not yet been called, is leading in a Republican-held seat and could add to the Democratic tally.HT’s analysis ranks all 435 House districts by their Asian Indian population, using the Census Bureau’s 2020–24 American Community Survey.
《印度斯坦时报》的分析依据人口普查局2020-2024年美国社区调查数据，对全美435个众议院选区按亚裔印度人口进行排名。前100个选区居住着全美超过一半的印度裔美国人。这些选区分布范围广泛，从硅谷——加利福尼亚州第17选区仅这一个选区就拥有约14.6万印度裔人口——延伸至新泽西州，以及达拉斯、休斯顿、亚特兰大、芝加哥和西雅图的郊区。
The top 100 districts are home to more than half of the country’s Indian-American population. They stretch from Silicon Valley, where California’s 17th district alone has about 146,000, to New Jersey and the suburbs of Dallas, Houston, Atlanta, Chicago and Seattle.
根据卡内基国际和平基金会2024年发布的《印度裔美国人态度调查》，全美约有260万印度裔美国人具备投票资格。
Roughly 2.6 million Indian-Americans are eligible to vote in the country, according to the Carnegie Endowment’s Indian American Attitudes Survey released in 2024.
值得注意的是，在《印度斯坦时报》分析的这100个国会选区中，印度裔美国人并不构成任何一个选区的多数。例如，在全美印度裔人口最多的加利福尼亚州第17选区，他们约占总人口的五分之一。然而，他们的选票，尤其是在势均力敌的选举中，对民主党和共和党都至关重要。印度将关注什么：美中期选举结果出炉后，移民与关税成焦点民主党的优势在加利福尼亚州最为明显，该党赢得了前100名单中印度裔人口最多的20个加州席位中的19个。其中包括全美印度裔人口比例最高的第17选区，现任众议员罗·康纳赢得了第六个连任。
To be sure, Indian-Americans do not constitute a majority in any of the 100 congressional seats analysed by HT. For example, they account for roughly a fifth of the population in California’s 17th district, which has the largest Indian population of any congressional district. However, their votes, particularly in tight elections, can be important for both Democrats and Republicans. What India will watch for: Immigration, tariffs in focus after US midterm results Democratic dominance was strongest in California, where the party won 19 of the 20 seats on the top 100 list with the most Indian-Americans. These included the 17th district, the most heavily Indian-American seat in the country, which Congressman Ro Khanna won for a sixth consecutive term.
民主党还赢得了纽约州、伊利诺伊州、新泽西州和宾夕法尼亚州所有进入前100名的选区席位。
Democrats also won every top-100 seat in New York, Illinois, New Jersey and Pennsylvania.
尽管在全国范围内遭遇惨败，导致共和党同时失去了众议院和参议院的控制权，但该党在得克萨斯州守住了阵地，在当地拥有大量印裔美国人人口的13个选区中赢得了9个。
Despite a poor night nationally that cost them both the House and the Senate, Republicans held their ground in Texas, winning nine of the 13 seats there with large Indian-American populations.
特朗普所属政党失去国会控制权；民主党在历史性中期选举大胜中夺取众议院、参议院在得克萨斯州获胜的共和党人包括联邦众议员贝丝·范杜因，她的选区居住着近2.3万名印裔居民。范杜因因与保守派媒体人物萨拉·冈萨雷斯等人关系密切而受到批评，后者曾渲染当地对印裔社区成员涉嫌H-1B签证欺诈的担忧。共和党人特雷弗·内尔斯赢得了得克萨斯州第22选区，该选区约有4.5万名印裔居民。
Trump's party loses Congress; Democrats seize House, Senate in historic midterm sweepRepublican winners in Texas included Congresswoman Beth Van Duyne, whose district is home to nearly 23,000 Indian residents. Van Duyne has drawn criticism for her proximity to conservative media figures such as Sara Gonzales, who have played up local fears of H-1B visa fraud allegedly involving members of the Indian community. Republican Trever Nehls won Texas’s 22nd district, which has about 45,000 Indian residents.
该选区包括舒加兰德，2025年，得克萨斯州共和党参议员候选人亚历山大·邓肯因称当地一座印度教庙宇内90英尺（约27米）高的哈努曼雕像为“虚假神祇的虚假雕像”而引发愤怒。得克萨斯州还为共和党贡献了为数不多的翻盘席位之一：在该党重新划分该州第32选区（居住着约1.6万名印裔居民）后，共和党人杰斯·亚伯拉夫赢得了该席位，该席位此前由民主党人朱莉·约翰逊占据。
The district includes Sugar Land, where Texas Republican Senate candidate Alexander Duncan sparked outrage in 2025 by calling a 90-foot Hanuman statue at a local Hindu temple a “false statue of a false Hindu God”. Texas also delivered one of the Republicans’ few pickups: after the party redrew the state’s 32nd district, which is home to about 16,000 Indian residents, Republican Jace Yarbrough won the seat previously held by Democrat Julie Johnson.
“萨莫萨核心小组”壮大；印裔美国人在美中期选举中经历苦乐参半的一夜这波民主党浪潮还击败了众议院“印度核心小组”的两名共和党成员：宾夕法尼亚州的布赖恩·菲茨帕特里克和新泽西州的小汤姆·基恩。

结果在很大程度上符合该社区的政治倾向。卡内基国际和平基金会与YouGov于10月进行的一项调查显示，62%的印裔美国公民计划投票给民主党众议院候选人，而仅19%计划投票给共和党候选人。在参议院竞选中，这一比例为63%对21%。
The results largely align with the community’s political leanings. A Carnegie Endowment–YouGov survey conducted in October found that 62% of Indian-American citizens planned to vote for Democratic House candidates, compared with 19% for Republicans. In Senate races, the split was 63% to 21%.Carnegie’s previous survey – conducted between November 2025 and January 2026 – helps explain the mood.
卡内基此前的调查——于2025年11月至2026年1月进行——有助于解释这种民意倾向。只有29%的印裔美国成年人认可美国总统唐纳德·特朗普的工作表现，而71%表示不认可。通胀和物价位居关注榜首，其次是就业与经济、医疗保健和移民。
Only 29% of Indian-American adults approved of US President Donald Trump’s job performance, while 71% disapproved. Inflation and prices topped the concerns, followed by jobs and the economy, health care and immigration.
近半数受访者表示，他们经常在网上看到针对印度人的种族主义帖子，近三分之一的人表示因此减少了在社交媒体上的政治参与。2024年，卡内基国际和平基金会发现，31%的印度裔美国登记选民计划投票给特朗普。
Nearly half said they often came across racist posts targeting Indians online, and almost a third said they had pulled back from political engagement on social media as a result. In 2024, Carnegie found that 31% of Indian-American registered voters had planned to vote for Trump.
