民主党策略师詹姆斯·卡维尔周三表示，在民主党在全国范围内取得大胜并重夺国会两院控制权后，佛罗里达州州长罗恩·德桑蒂斯（共和党）是2026年中期选举的“共和党赢家”。
Democratic strategist James Carville on Wednesday suggested that Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) was the 2026 midterms‘ “Republican winner” after Democrats made sweeping gains across the country and reclaimed both chambers of Congress.
卡维尔、政治顾问马克·麦金农以及“Z世代变革”组织创始人艾丹·科恩-墨菲在卡维尔的“政治作战室”播客节目中探讨特朗普总统卸任后共和党的前景时，他做出了上述关于这位佛罗里达领导人的断言。
Carville, political adviser Mark McKinnon and Gen Z For Change founder Aidan Kohn-Murphy were talking about the potential for a post-President Trump GOP on Carville’s “Politics War Room” podcast when he made his claim about the Florida leader.
“昨晚的共和党赢家是罗恩·德桑蒂斯，”他说。“但德桑蒂斯可以说，我们表现得更好——你知道，‘想赢？看看我们在佛罗里达做了什么……如果我不是共和党人，我不喜欢罗恩·德桑蒂斯……但所有人都曾完全摒弃他。”卡维尔指出，共和党的形象将因周二的失利而受损，但德桑蒂斯的“股价……在过去24小时内翻了一番。”麦金农插话道，佛罗里达和得克萨斯的结果形成鲜明对比，民主党在孤星州取得重大进展，而共和党在佛罗里达站稳脚跟，这要归功于德桑蒂斯。“此次选举最大的受益者可能是罗恩·德桑蒂斯，”他补充道。
“The Republican winner of the last night was Ron DeSantis,” he said. “But Ron DeSantis can say we did better in –– you know, ‘We want to win? Look at what we did in Florida … If I’m not a Republican, I don’t like Ron DeSantis … But everybody had dismissed him as out of hand.”Carville noted that the Republican Party’s image will go down following Tuesday’s losses, but DeSantis’s “stock … doubled in the last 24 hours.”McKinnon chimed in, saying Florida and Texas’s results starkly differed, with Democrats making major gains in the Lone Star State while Republicans held firm in Florida, crediting DeSantis. “The greatest beneficiary of this election may be Ron DeSantis,” he added.
科恩-墨菲表示，民主党在佛罗里达取得进展但未获胜，这是“一个相当惨痛的结果”，“本可以更好”。但这位活动人士在看到这位共和党州长登上“全国舞台”后，表示不确定“人们是否真的会认真对待他”。德桑蒂斯2019年在特朗普的支持和赞扬下就任州长，直到两人在2024年共和党总统初选中交锋，一直被视为总统政治遗产的潜在继承人。“绝不退缩”政治行动委员会2023年将这位州长包装为共和党的未来。
Kohn-Murphy added that Democratic gains, but not wins, in Florida were “a pretty devastating result” that “could have been better.”But after seeing the Republican governor on the “national stage” before, the activist said he was unsure if “people will really take him seriously.”DeSantis, who entered office in 2019 with Trump’s support and praise until the two faced off during the 2024 Republican presidential primary, has been seen as a potential successor to the president’s legacy. The Never Back Down PAC presented the governor as the future of the GOP in 2023.
民主党人在佛罗里达州的州级竞选中取得进展，并击败了争取众议院席位的共和党候选人，尽管共和党保住了其他主要全州范围内的职位。选民选择了众议员拜伦·唐纳兹（共和党-佛罗里达州）接替因任期限制无法连任的德桑蒂斯，使他成为阳光州首位黑人州长。
Democrats gained ground in Florida state races and defeated Republican candidates for House seats, although the GOP maintained control of other major statewide offices. Voters chose Rep. Byron Donalds (R-Fla.) to succeed the term-limited DeSantis, becoming the Sunshine State’s first Black governor.
这位即将卸任的佛罗里达州长称中期选举的结果是全美共和党面临的“灭绝级事件”，而该党仅勉强守住了佛罗里达州。
The outgoing Florida governor called the outcome of the midterms an “extinction-level event” for Republicans across the country while the party narrowly hung on to Florida.
“到一月份，所有任期届满或被投票淘汰的现任官员离职后，全美十大州中，只有一个州将由共和党控制……那就是佛罗里达州，”他在周三的新闻发布会上说。
“In January, when everyone in office leaves who are either term-limited or got voted out, of the 10 largest states in this union, only one state will have Republican control … the state of Florida,” he said at a press conference on Wednesday.
德桑蒂斯周三晚些时候在接受福克斯新闻劳拉·英格拉姆采访时还诊断选举结果称：“毫无疑问……这是民主党人、独立人士以及一些倒戈共和党人对总统和国会的谴责。”
DeSantis also diagnosed the election result as, “no question … a rebuke of the president and the Congress by Democrats, independents and some Republicans that crossed over,” in an interview with Fox News’s Laura Ingraham later Wednesday.
“但我们许多留在家里不投票的选民，之所以不投票是因为他们对众参两院共和党缺乏建树感到沮丧，”他继续说道。“这只是个事实。他们曾被承诺大事化小、小事化了，却兑现不了承诺。”
“But a lot of our voters who stayed home, they stayed home because they were frustrated with the lack of productivity from Republicans in the House and Senate,” he continued. “That’s just a fact. They were promised big things, and they didn’t deliver it.”
