印第安纳州共和党众议员马林·斯图兹曼（Marlin Stutzman）表示，将斯蒂芬·米勒提拔为白宫幕僚长而不是将其解职，“是一个糟糕的错误”。
Marlin Stutzman (R-Ind.) said "it was a bad mistake" to promote Stephen Miller to White House chief of staff rather than fire him.
斯图兹曼周日在接受CNN记者马努·拉朱（Manu Raju）在《国会山内幕》（Inside Politics Sunday）节目采访时说：“我认为这是一个糟糕的错误”，指的是总统唐纳德·特朗普在共和党在周二中期选举中惨败后提拔了米勒。
Speaking to CNN's Manu Raju on "Inside Politics Sunday," Stutzman said, "I think it was a bad mistake" to promote Miller, as President Donald Trump did after Republicans suffered a shellacking in Tuesday's midterms.
共和党周二失去了数十个众议院席位，其中包括印第安纳州的一个席位。斯图兹曼的选区位于印第安纳州北部，他虽然赢得了连任，但得票率从2024年的65%下降到今年的55%以下。
Republicans lost dozens of House seatson Tuesday, including one in Indiana. Stutzman, whose district is in northern Indiana, did win another term, but his share of the vote dropped from 65% in 2024 to under 55% this year.
“我和特朗普总统一样来自商界，”斯图兹曼说，“你知道的？如果你的团队像我们上周那样惨败，你必须解雇人。你不会提拔那些本应交付成果、负责相关工作的人。”
"I come from the business world just like President Trump does," Stutzman said, "and you know what? If your team takes a beating as badly as we took this last week, you have to fire people. You don't promote those who are, who were in charge of what was supposed to be delivered."
斯图兹曼补充谈到米勒说：“他在中西部这里不受人们欢迎。他们不喜欢他的语气。”这位印第安纳州共和党人确实表示，他不会支持弹劾国防部长皮特·赫格塞斯（Pete Hegseth）的呼声，称赫格塞斯是否留任是特朗普的决定。
Stutzman added about Miller: "He's not liked out here in the Midwest by people. They don't like his tone." The Indiana Republican did say he would not support calls to impeach Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. saying it was Trump's decision whether Hegseth remained in his position.
截至周日早晨，民主党将从选举中获得至少254个众议院席位；共和党赢得了162个席位。仍有19场竞选结果未定。
Democrats will emerge from the elections with at least 254 House seats; Republicans have won 162 seats. Nineteen races remain undecided as of Sunday morning.
斯图兹曼说，他希望共和党能像1990年代拥有迈克尔·乔丹的芝加哥公牛队那样，既极其成功又深受喜爱。展望未来，斯图兹曼表示，共和党需要在不给人留下恶劣印象的情况下尽可能多地取得成就。
Stutzman said he wants Republicans to be like the 1990s Chicago Bulls with Michael Jordan, an NBA team that was both wildly successful and beloved. For the future, Stutzman said Republicans need to accomplish all they can without leaving a bad taste in people's mouths.
“让我们的表现自己说话，而不是出去攻击那些不需要被攻击的人，”他告诉拉朱。
"Let our playing do the talking rather than going out and bashing on people that don't need to be bashed on," he told Raju.
