参议院少数党领袖、纽约州民主党人查克·舒默和众议院少数党领袖、纽约州民主党人哈基姆·杰弗里斯没有回答福克斯新闻数字频道关于他们在国会可能采取的首批举措的提问。此前，民主党在周二的选举中大获全胜，重新夺回了两院的多数席位。
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., and House minority leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., did not answer Fox News Digital’s questions about their potential first moves in Congress as the Democrats won back the majority in both chambers with sweeping victories in Tuesday’s elections.
舒默被追问是否计划废除“冗长辩论”规则。目前外界猜测，民主党可能会在唐纳德·特朗普总统多次敦促参议院共和党人终止该规则以通过《拯救美国法案》之后将其废除。特朗普此前曾警告说，如果共和党人不采取行动，民主党人一旦有机会就会这么做——而他们现在正拥有这个机会。
Schumer was pressed on whether he plans to abolish the filibuster as speculation grows that Democrats could eliminate the filibuster after President Donald Trump urged Senate Republicans to terminate it numerous times to pass the SAVE America Act. Trump previously warned that if Republicans didn’t act on it, the Democrats would if given the opportunity — which they now have.
福克斯新闻数字频道两次询问舒默是否计划废除该规则，舒默均未予理会。
Schumer ignored the question after being asked twice by Fox News Digital if he plans to eliminate it.
提出这一问题之际，一些民主党人此前曾表示，如果重新夺回参议院，他们对废除“冗长辩论”规则持开放态度。
The question comes as some Democrats have previously signaled openness to eliminating the filibuster if they regained the Senate.
在周三上午的新闻发布会上，舒默也拒绝回答有关民主党重新夺回多数席位后他对参议院部分计划的提问——包括废除“冗长辩论”规则。他还表示，尽管遭到新当选民主党人的反对，他仍将被参议院民主党党团“再次推选为多数党领袖”。他迅速将话题转向中期选举中的“蓝色浪潮”，以及该党打算如何利用“参议院版图的世代性重塑”。福克斯新闻数字频道还询问杰弗里斯，民主党人是否会调查埃隆·马斯克。此前，该党已开始物色目标，以推进其调查特朗普政府涉嫌腐败的努力。
During a press conference Wednesday morning, Schumer also refused to answer questions about some of his plans for the Senate as they take back the majority — including eliminating the filibuster. He also said that he will be "re-elected as majority leader" by the Senate Democratic caucus, despite opposition from newly elected Democrats. He quickly redirected the conversation to focus on the blue wave in the midterm elections and what the party plans to do with the "generational remake of the Senate map." Jeffries was also asked by Fox News Digital about the looming question over whether Democrats will probe Elon Musk after the party has begun eyeing targets in their discussed efforts to investigate alleged corruption in the Trump administration.
杰弗里斯在记者接近时向福克斯新闻数字频道竖起大拇指，但在被问及众议院民主党人是否会调查马斯克时没有作出回应。
Jeffries gave Fox News Digital a thumbs-up when approached but did not respond when asked whether House Democrats would investigate Musk.
马斯克已成为民主党监督的潜在目标，一些议员呼吁审查他担任政府效率部负责人的经历。民主党议员还建议调查其公司与联邦政府签订的数十亿美元合同，以及他最近在切断乌克兰军方互联网接入方面所扮演的角色。
Musk has emerged as a potential target of Democratic oversight, with some lawmakers calling for scrutiny of his time as head of the Department of Government Efficiency. Democratic lawmakers have also suggested looking into this companies' multibillion-dollar contracts with the federal government, and more recently, his role in cutting internet access to the Ukrainian military.
众议院少数党领袖拒绝置评之际，民主党人正就是否推选杰弗里斯担任众议院议长产生分歧。一份要求将杰弗里斯赶下众议院领导岗位的请愿书已获得超过55万个签名，请愿者认为，民主党需要一位代表“民主党选民，而不仅仅是民主党建制派”的议长。由于许多新当选的国会议员候选人犹豫不决，或 outright 反对支持杰弗里斯和舒默担任领导人，关于谁将担任国会两院领导人的决定仍悬而未决。
The House Minority Leader’s refusal to comment comes as Democrats are divided over whether they would select Jeffries as Speaker of the House. There was a petition started that has received over 550,000 to oust Jeffries from leading the House, arguing the party needs a Speaker that represents "the Democratic voters, not just the Democratic establishment." With many of the newly elected congressional candidates hesitant, or outright opposed, to back both Jeffries and Schumer as leaders, the decision over who will be the leaders of both chambers of Congress is still in limbo.
