随着民主党周二在前所未有的中期选举大胜中击溃共和党对手,让美国再次健康运动(MAHA)也遭遇重创,引发人们对这一杂乱无章运动命运的疑问。
As Democrats blew away their Republican rivals in an unprecedented midterm sweep Tuesday, the Make America Health Again movement also got bowled over, raising questions about the fate of the motley movement.
MAHA一直围绕反疫苗活动家兼现任卫生部长罗伯特·F·肯尼迪(Robert F. Kennedy Jr.)展开,其众多支持的候选人和盟友落选,而肯尼迪的直言不讳的对手则获胜。投票开始前,该联盟就已在压力下分崩离析;在过去几个月里,支持者指责肯尼迪和特朗普政府在执政两年内行动不力并背叛了他们。
MAHA—which has centered around anti-vaccine activist and current Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.—saw many of its favored candidates and allies lose, while vocal adversaries of Kennedy won. And the coalition was splintering under stress even before the voting started; in recent months, supporters have accused Kennedy and the Trump administration of inaction and betrayals in their two years in power.
如今在华盛顿举步维艰、失去支持者,并在投票箱中几乎毫无影响力,MAHA是否已奄奄一息?还是将重生——可能转变为一个新团体?它是否会被吸纳进蓝色平台——在剔除肯尼迪意识形态中更令人反感、充满阴谋论的方面之后?这些问题在周二选举惨败的余波中萦绕不去。
Now hobbled in Washington, shedding supporters, and showing little to no influence in voting booths, is MAHA on its deathbed? Or will it be reborn—possibly into a new group? Could it be assimilated into a blue platform—after sloughing off the more repulsive, conspiratorial aspects of Kennedy's ideology? These are the questions circling in the aftermath of Tuesday's bloodbath.
