中期选举获胜后，民主党人急于施展新获得的权力，正在12月11日政府拨款截止日期前权衡自己的要求。
Eager to flex their new power after midterm victory, Democrats are considering their demands ahead of the Dec. 11 government funding deadline.
民主党将于明年1月接管国会。但他们最早可能更早就有机会掐断唐纳德·特朗普总统用于伊朗战争的资金。
Democrats will take control of Congress in January. Their first chance to burn President Donald Trump’s checkbook for the Iran war could come even sooner.
议员们面临12月11日的最后期限，必须延长联邦拨款，否则将引发政府停摆——而此时距离共和党失去众议院和参议院的多数席位仅有数周。在民主党温和派和进步派都成功以结束伊朗战争为竞选主张之后，党内一些人现在表示，任何年终支出法案都必须阻止为这场军事冲突提供资金。
Lawmakers face a Dec. 11 deadline to extend federal funding or spark a government shutdown — just weeks before Republicans lose their majorities in the House and Senate. And after Democratic moderates and progressives alike campaigned successfully on ending the war in Iran, some in the party now say any year-end spending measure must block cash for the military conflict.
民主党领导人尚未宣布是否会试图利用这一时机限制特朗普攻势的资源，但该党在众议院的最高拨款官员并未排除在年底展开一场争斗的可能性。
Democratic leaders have yet to announce whether they will try to use the moment to limit resources for Trump’s offensive, but the party’s top House appropriator isn’t ruling out a year-end fight.
“民主党人绝对不会为特朗普选择的对伊朗战争提供资金，这场战争加重了美国家庭的负担，也让我们更不安全，”康涅狄格州众议员罗莎·德劳罗周四在给《政治报》的一份声明中说。
“Democrats will absolutely not fund Trump’s war of choice with Iran that has increased costs on American families and made us less safe,” Connecticut Rep. Rosa DeLauro said Thursday in a statement to POLITICO.
