众议院共和党人本周将经历一次战后人事重组,其领导层的每一个高层职位都面临竞争,而总统唐纳德·特朗普则置身事外。
House Republicans will see a post-election reshuffling this week, with every senior rung of their leadership facing competition — and President Donald Trump is staying out of it.
来自俄亥俄州的众议员吉姆·乔丹与现任多数党领袖、来自路易斯安那州的史蒂夫·斯卡利斯正在争夺少数党领袖职位。现任多数党党鞭、来自明尼苏达州的汤姆·埃默与来自得克萨斯州的众议员奥古斯特·普卢格正在竞选新一届国会的共和党少数党党鞭职位,而现任党团会议主席、来自密歇根州的莉萨·麦克莱恩则面临来自印第安纳州众议员埃琳·霍钦和佛罗里达州众议员格雷格·斯托布的挑战。
Reps. Jim Jordan of Ohio and current Majority Leader Steve Scalise of Louisiana are vying for minority leader. Current Majority Whip Tom Emmer of Minnesota and Rep. August Pfluger of Texas are competing for next Congress’ GOP minority whip spot, while current Conference Chair Lisa McClain of Michigan faces challenges from Reps. Erin Houchin of Indiana and Greg Steube of Florida.
在选举日遭遇惨重失利后,一些共和党议员倾向于彻底改组领导层。支持乔丹的印第安纳州共和党众议员马林·斯蒂茨曼对《塞马福尔》网站表示:“我认为我们需要告诉美国人民:‘我们听到了你们清晰响亮的声音。你们感到沮丧,我们需要新的领导层。’”随着共和党人寻找摆脱中期选举留下的困境的方法,他们还将决定新的竞选负责人。
After their massive Election Day losses, some GOP lawmakers are inclined to fully overhaul their leadership. Rep. Marlin Stutzman, R-Ind., who’s backing Jordan, told Semafor: “I think we need to tell the American people, ‘We heard you loud and clear. You’re frustrated, and we need new leadership.’”As Republicans look for ways to claw their way out of the hole that the midterms left them in, they’ll also be deciding on a new campaign chief.
来自印第安纳州的众议员鲁迪·雅基姆和来自佐治亚州的众议员布赖恩·杰克正在竞选全国共和党国会委员会主席。值得注意的是,这两人都被认为无意与特朗普保持距离。
Reps. Rudy Yakym of Indiana and Brian Jack of Georgia are running to chair the National Republican Congressional Committee. Notably, neither are seen as interested in carving out distance from Trump.
民主党人将于下周开始他们的领导层选举,不过预计少数党领袖哈基姆·杰弗里斯在竞选议长时不会面临任何严峻挑战。
Democrats will start their leadership elections next week, though Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries isn’t expected to face any serious challenges to becoming speaker.
在目前的跛脚鸭会议期间,立法行动尚不多,但国防部长皮特·海格塞斯本周将在众议院面临弹劾。尽管他不太可能在参议院被定罪,但这对于众议院民主党人在迈向接管该院之际展示团结将是一个关键时刻。
There’s not much legislative action yet in the lame-duck session, but Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth will be impeached by the House this week. Though his conviction in the Senate is unlikely, it will be a critical moment for House Democrats to show unity heading into their takeover of the chamber.
杰弗里斯在美国广播公司的节目中表示,他对弹劾海格塞斯投“坚决赞成”票。随着众议院共和党人在中期选举失利后寻找替罪羊,弹劾投票也可能在右翼赢得支持。
Jeffries said he was a “hard yes” on Hegseth impeachment on ABC’s . With House Republicans looking for a scapegoat after their midterm losses, the impeachment vote could pick up votes on the right, too.
众议员弗兰奇·希尔(共和党-阿肯色州)在哥伦比亚广播公司的节目上表示,他“想听听关于此事的辩论,看看它是否值得进行弹劾、或其他纪律处分、或者是总统采取的其他行动”,并补充说他对伊朗战争的处理方式感到不满。
Rep. French Hill, R-Ark., said on CBS’ that he would “want to hear the debate on it, to see if it merits impeachment or some other disciplinary action or some other action by the president,” adding that he was dissatisfied with how the Iran war has been handled.
众议院共和党领导层在期中选举后还将面临出勤问题,这很可能使任何其他跛脚鸭立法行动的前景变得复杂。
House Republican leaders will also face attendance problems post-midterms that are likely to complicate prospects for any other lame-duck legislative action.
