伊莉莎·斯洛特金（民主党-密歇根州）周六拒绝排除竞逐参议院领导层职位的可能性，并对是否支持查克·舒默担任多数党领袖保持不置可否态度。
Elissa Slotkin (D-Mich.) on Saturday declined to rule out a Senate leadership bid and remained noncommittal on backing Chuck Schumer as majority leader.
“考虑到选举之夜发生的事情，有一个非常明确的授权，即民众想要新一代领导层，并且想知道实际帮助他们生活的计划是什么，”斯洛特金在“歪嘴媒体”举办的“歪嘴大会”间隙对《政治新闻网》表示。“所以，无论以何种方式，我都想看到这一点。”斯洛特金表示，“没有任何一个人能独享功劳”归功于民主党周二的大胜——并强调她尚未完全被舒默说服。
“Given what happened on election night, there's a pretty clear mandate that people want a new generation [of leadership], and they want to know what the plan is to actually help their lives,” Slotkin told POLITICO on the sidelines of Crooked Media’s “Crooked Con” conference. “So one way or another, I want to see that.”Slotkin said that “no one person can claim credit” for Democrats’ romp on Tuesday — and emphasized that she wasn’t fully sold on Schumer.
“除非看到计划，否则不会。如果我们没有未来国会前100天的计划，我肯定不会投他的票，”斯洛特金补充道，“美国公众向唐纳德·特朗普传递了一个非常强烈的信息，也对他们想要从民选领导人那里得到什么传递了非常强烈的信息，那就是能帮助他们的钱包和孩子的事情。”斯洛特金对《政治新闻网》的这番言论，是在她在会议舞台上被问及可能竞逐多数党领袖一职后发表的。“我没有排除任何可能，”斯洛特金回应道。
“Not until I see a plan, no. And I would certainly not vote for him if we don't have a plan” for the first 100 days of the next Congress, Slotkin said, adding: “The American public had a very strong message for Donald Trump and a very strong message about what they wanted out of their elected leaders, which is something to help their pocketbooks and their kids.”Slotkin’s remarks to POLITICO come after she was asked on stage at the conference about potentially running for majority leader. “I'm not ruling anything out,” Slotkin said in response.
她的言论之际，一些参议院民主党人私下猜测她可能成为竞逐较低层级领导职位的潜在竞争者。上月底，针对党团内部关于斯洛特金可能有意加入领导层的猜测，斯洛特金的发言人未回应置评请求。
Her comments come as some Senate Democrats have privately speculated that she could be a potential contender for a lower-level leadership position. Spokespeople for Slotkin did not respond to an inquiry late last month about speculation within the caucus that Slotkin could be interested in joining the leadership team.
其他民主党人认为她的雄心不在国会山。斯洛特金2025年从众议院进入参议院，被视为未来竞逐白宫或在民主党政府中担任其他职务的潜在人选，包括中央情报局局长或其他国家安全要职，鉴于她拥有情报背景。
Other Democrats view her ambitions as laying outside of the Capitol. Sloktin, who joined the Senate in 2025 from the House, is being floated as a potential future contender for the White House or other jobs within a Democratic administration, including CIA director or other national security spots given her intelligence background.
周六，当被问及竞选参议院领导层职位是否意味着排除竞选总统的可能性时，斯洛特金告诉《政治报》：“所有这些都还在开放讨论中。我只想成为新一代领导层的一部分，以不同的方式行使权力，我认为这有很多不同的实现路径。” 一些较新的参议员可能会加入领导层的低层职位。与斯洛特金同属首届任期的参议员安迪·金（民主党-新泽西州）和亚当·希夫（民主党-加利福尼亚州）都在考虑竞选。
Asked Saturday if a Senate leadership bid would mean ruling out a presidential run, Slotkin told POLITICO: “All of this is an open conversation. I just want to be a part of a new generation of leadership that does something different with the expression of power, and I think there's lots of different ways that that can go.”Some newer members of the Senate could potentially join the lower ranks of the leadership team. Sens. Andy Kim (D-N.J.) and Adam Schiff (D-Calif.), who are members of the first-term class with Slotkin, are both eyeing bids.
民主党将于12月初举行领导层选举。舒默普遍预计将在党团内当选为多数党领袖，于1月开始任职，自周二以来，有几位民主党人表示将支持他。
Democrats will have their leadership elections in early December. Schumer is broadly expected within the caucus to be elected majority leader starting in January, with several Democrats saying since Tuesday that they will support him.
“他的工作表现卓越，我认为人们没有任何可抱怨的。我认为他们对舒默参议员只有感激之情，”参议员克尔斯滕·吉利布兰德（民主党-纽约州）在接受采访时表示，并补充说她“绝对”预期他将成为领袖。
“He’s done a stellar job, and I think people cannot have any complaints. I think they are going to feel nothing but gratitude to Senator Schumer,” Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.) said in an interview, adding that she “absolutely” expects him to be leader.
参议员马克·凯利（民主党-亚利桑那州）周六在“Crooked Con”活动上对记者说：“查克为赢得这个多数席位付出了巨大努力，所以我的计划是支持他。” 到目前为止，还没有人举手表示要挑战舒默，舒默在《The Daily》播客节目中表示，他不预期会面临挑战。
Sen. Mark Kelly (D-Ariz) told reporters at Crooked Con Saturday that “Chuck worked really hard to get this majority, so my plan is to support him." So far no one has raised their hand to run against Schumer, who told “The Daily” podcast that he didn’t expect a challenge.
尽管如此，少数将于1月加入参议院的新任首届参议员已誓言不支持他。但舒默只需要党团的多数票，且选举将在闭门会议上通过无记名投票进行。
Still, a handful of incoming first-term senators who will be joining the chamber in January have vowed not to support him. But Schumer only needs a majority of the caucus, and the election will take place behind closed doors via secret ballot.
“问题不在我。我将连任多数党领袖，但问题在于关注美国人民及其诉求，”舒默本周在被问及加入其党团的批评者时表示。
“The issue is not me. I'll be reelected as majority leader, but the issue is focusing on the American people and what they want,” Schumer said this week when asked about the critics joining his caucus.
舒默目前仅勾勒了民主党应对多数党地位的顶层思路，表示将聚焦“成本、混乱与腐败”，包括试图通过生活成本立法以及调查特朗普政府。
Schumer has so far only sketched out his top-level thinking about how Democrats will approach the majority, saying they will focus on “cost, chaos and corruption,” including trying to pass cost-of-living legislation and investigating the Trump administration.
在本周接受《政治报》（POLITICO）采访时被问及是否已向党团成员阐述未来策略，舒默仅表示“我们开始谈了”。参议院将于周一结束长达数周的休会复会，这将给民主党首次面对面商讨前进路径的机会。
Asked during an interview with POLITICO this week if he was making a pitch to members yet on what the strategy is going to be going forward, Schumer said only that “we’re beginning to talk.”The Senate will return Monday from a weekslong break, giving Democrats their first chance to begin talking in person about the path forward.
