少数党领袖哈基姆·杰弗里斯周日表示，他尚未收到唐纳德·特朗普总统的消息，尽管他预计将成为下一任众议院议长。
Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries said Sunday that he has yet to hear from President Donald Trump, though he is expected to be the next speaker of the House.
杰弗里斯在接受ABC《本周》节目采访时说：“我没有和特朗普总统通话。这是美国人民的一个重要夜晚。对MAGA极端主义的巨大否决，也是对剧烈变革的呼喊。”主持人乔纳森·卡尔表示，他认为到这个时候，总统本应已联系下一任众议院议长。
Speaking on ABC's "This Week," the New York Democrat said, "I have not spoken to President Trump. It was a big night for the American people. A tremendous repudiation of MAGA extremism, and a cry out for dramatic change." Host Jonathan Karl said that he thought that by this time, a president would have reached out to the next speaker of the House.
“我们将拭目以待，看接下来会发生什么，”杰弗里斯说。“但我已经和三位前总统通话了，我对这些对话心存感激。当然是奥巴马总统、拜登总统和克林顿总统，以及全国许多其他领导人。”杰弗里斯没有透露他是否曾试图联系特朗普。
"Well, we’ll see what happens in terms of moving forward," Jeffries said. "But I have spoken to three former presidents, and I'm thankful for those conversations. Of course, President Obama, President Biden, and President Clinton, and many other leaders across the nation." Jeffries did not say whether he had tried to contact Trump.
虽然并非所有选区的结果都已揭晓，但民主党在下一届众议院将至少占据435个席位中的254个，在周二的中期选举中赢得了数十个席位。民主党在2008年大选后拥有257个席位；如果今年超过260个席位，将是自1990年大选以来最大的众议院多数派。共和党自1928年大选以来从未赢得超过250个席位。
Though not every race has been called, Democrats will have at least 254 out of 435 seats in the next House, having gained dozens of seats in Tuesday's midterms. Democrats came out of the 2008 elections with 257 seats; if they top 260 this year, it would be the largest House majority since the 1990 elections. Republicans have not won more than 250 seats since the 1928 elections.
