选民们以这场国会选举的压倒性胜利，对唐纳德·特朗普的总统任期作出了严厉的裁决。痛苦的经验让民主党人不敢轻信民调所预测的“蓝色浪潮”会成真。而到来的不仅是胜利，更是一场溃败：拿下国会控制权，共和党被彻底击溃。对于一位以权力为政治招牌的总统而言，这是一次令人震惊的羞辱。唐纳德·特朗普在2024年凭借向选民承诺降低物价、不卷入海外战争而赢回了权力。
Voters have delivered a damning verdict on Donald Trump’s presidency with this Congressional landslide Bitter experience made Democrats wary of believing that the blue wave predicted by polls would materialise. What arrived was not just victory but a rout: control of Congress and a Republican wipeout. It was an astounding humiliation for a president whose political brand is power. Donald Trump won it back in 2024 by promising voters lower prices and no foreign wars.
他则因发动一场非法冲突、让选民钱包受损，并加征高额关税而失去了它。他敦促选民假装他也在选票上，而选民给出的裁决再严厉不过了。
He lost it by launching an illegal conflict that hit them in the pocket and imposing hefty tariffs too. He urged voters to pretend that he was on the ticket and they delivered a verdict that could not have been more damning.
两年前，夺回众议院对民主党人来说还像是一场真正的硬仗，而参议院则是希望渺茫。周二，他们还需要再翻转四个席位，才能获得参议院51席的多数。投票站关闭后数小时内，他们已拿下54席，另有两场选战胜负未定，并且轻松超过了众议院多数所需的218席。这似乎是自1976年水门事件余波以来最大的国会选举压倒性胜利。
Two years ago, retaking the House looked like a genuine fight for Democrats, and the Senate a long shot. On Tuesday, they needed to flip four more seats to gain a 51-seat Senate majority. Within hours of polls closing, they had 54, with two more races in the balance, and had easily passed the 218 seats needed for a House majority. This appears to be the biggest congressional landslide since 1976, in Watergate’s aftermath.
