参议员拉斐尔·沃诺克（民主党-佐治亚州）不愿承诺支持参议员查克·舒默担任参议院多数党领袖，多次回避关于他是否会在领导层选举中支持这位纽约民主党人的问题。这位议员周一出席《早餐俱乐部》节目，多次拒绝直接回答该全国联播广播节目联合主持人查拉曼·索德关于舒默和众议院少数党领袖哈基姆·杰弗里斯（民主党-纽约州）的问题。
Sen. Raphael Warnock (D-Ga.) isn't committing to backing Sen. Chuck Schumer as Senate majority leader, repeatedly dodging questions about whether he'd support the New York Democrat in a leadership election. The lawmaker appeared on "The Breakfast Club" on Monday and declined multiple times to directly answer questions from the nationally syndicated radio show's co-host, Charlamagne Tha God, about Schumer and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.).
查拉曼·索德（本名莱纳德·麦克基尔维）对沃诺克说：“有那么多人”呼吁舒默和杰弗里斯“退居二线，或从根本上改变他们的领导方式”。“你认为民主党领导层理解选民在这次选举中所要求的东西吗？”他问道。“我在基层花了很多时间倾听。我在大约10个州竞选，试图帮助我们保住参议院多数席位，”沃诺克说，并补充说美国人“深感沮丧”且“饥渴难耐”。
"There are so many people" calling for Schumer and Jeffries "to step aside or to fundamentally change how they lead," Charlamagne, who was born Lenard McKelvey, told Warnock. "Do you believe Democratic leadership understands what voters were demanding in this election?" he asked. "I spent a lot of time on the ground listening. I campaigned in about 10 states trying to help us with the Senate majority," Warnock said, adding that Americans are "deeply frustrated" and "hungry."
“但民主党领导层理解这一点吗？”查拉曼·索德问道，再次提及舒默和杰弗里斯。“我认为这是我们需要在党团内部进行的一次对话，并且我们将继续进行，”沃诺克回答说。“就领导层而言，我愿意听取党团内任何认为自己应该在这个时刻领导的人的意见，”他补充道。“我想听听那个愿景，但它必须以普通人的关切为中心——不能只是华盛顿政治。关键是我们如何真正为人民办事，”沃诺克说。
"But does Democratic leadership understand that?" Charlamagne asked, mentioning Schumer and Jeffries again. "I think that's a conversation we need to have, and we will continue to have inside the caucus," Warnock replied. "In terms of leadership, I'm open to hearing whoever in the caucus thinks that they that they should lead in this moment," he added. "I want to hear that vision, but it's got to center the concerns of ordinary people — it can't be about Beltway politics. It's about how we actually deliver to the people," Warnock said.
“但政党需要新的领导层，还是需要在同样的领导层下制定新的议程？”查拉曼·索德问道。“我认为整个国家都需要一个新的议程，”沃诺克说，随后将特朗普总统称为“美国历史上最腐败的总统”和“卑鄙的人”。“特朗普时代表明，我们国家的人们正感受到破碎和深深的痛苦，我认为我们需要敢于打击腐败的领导人，”他继续说道。
"But does the party need new leadership, or does it need a new agenda under the same?" Charlamagne asked. "I think the whole country needs a new agenda," Warnock said, before calling President Trump the "most corrupt president we've had in American history" and a "vile human being." "The Trump era is indicative of the brokenness and the deep pain that people are feeling in our country, and I think we need leaders who are going to take on the corruption," he continued.
舒默表示，尽管一些即将入职的民主党议员，包括参议员当选人安妮·安德鲁斯（南卡罗来纳州）、亚当·汉密尔顿（堪萨斯州）、阿卜杜勒·埃尔赛德（密歇根州）和特洛伊·杰克逊（缅因州）表示不会支持他，但他仍有信心下个月能当选参议院多数党领袖。“问题不在我。我会当选多数党领袖。但问题在于关注美国人民以及他们想要什么，”舒默本月早些时候表示。
Schumer has expressed confidence that he'll be reelected as Senate majority leader next month despite some incoming Democratic lawmakers, including Sens.-elect Annie Andrews (S.C.), Adam Hamilton (Kan.), Abdul El-Sayed (Mich.) and Troy Jackson (Maine), saying they would not back him. “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 earlier this month.
在民主党在中期选举中取得重大胜利之后，一个名为“不可动摇”的进步团体敦促议员们将舒默从其在上议院的领导职位上更换，呼吁出现“新一代的民主党战士”。在采访中，查拉曼杰再次追问，舒默“是否是领导这个新的民主党参议院多数派的合适人选”，沃诺克回应说：“我认为我们需要新的愿景、新的想法，我愿意听取任何认为自己拥有这些的人的意见。”
Following the massive wins by Democrats in the midterm elections, a progressive group called Indivisible urged lawmakers to replace Schumer as its leader in the upper chamber, calling for a "new generation of Democratic fighters." Pressed again later in the interview by Charlamagne whether Schumer "is the right person to lead this new Democratic Senate majority," Warnock responded, "I think we need fresh vision, fresh ideas, and I'm open to hearing whoever thinks they have that."
“你认为他是那个人吗？”查拉曼杰问道，指的是舒默。“选举领袖的进程很快就会到来，我会参与其中。但现在，我专注于交付成果，我不会容忍任何不敢打击这种腐败的领导人。”在“早餐俱乐部”采访中，查拉曼杰询问沃诺克关于民主党在选举日取得的历史性进展。“当你看到结果时，你认为美国人是在投票支持什么？他们是在投票支持民主党？他们是在投票反对特朗普？还是他们只是在投票支持一种根本不同的政治？”他问道。
"Do you think he is the person?" Charlamagne asked, referring to Schumer. "The process for choosing the leader will come up soon enough, and I'll be engaged with that. But right now, I'm focused on delivering, and I will not tolerate any leader that's not going to take on this corruption." During the "Breakfast Club" interview, Charlamagne asked Warnock about the historic gains by Democrats on Election Day. "When you look at the results, what do you believe the American people were voting for? Were they voting for Democrats? Were they voting against Trump?
“所有这些腐败，他们负担不起的医疗保健。人们只是感到压力巨大，”沃诺克说。“这绝对是对过去10年MAGA运动的彻底否决，”查拉曼杰说，指的是特朗普的“让美国再次伟大”运动。
Or were they just voting for a fundamentally different kind of politics?" he asked. "All of this corruption, healthcare that they can't afford. People are just feeling crushed," Warnock said. "It definitely was a complete rebuke of the last 10 years of MAGA," Charlamagne said, referring to Trump's Make America Great Again movement.
“但是我不希望民主党人感到自在，以为他们真的出去投票是因为信任民主党，”查拉曼奇告诉这位议员。“我同意这个看法。我认为目前两个政党的品牌都不好，”沃诺克说。“而且我认为，人们长期以来一直试图超越政治。”“我确实认为，目前两个政党都处于受审之中，人们想知道谁能为普通人带来实实在在的成果，”沃诺克说，“这也是我每天努力做的工作。”
"But I don't want Democrats to get comfortable and think that they actually went out there and voted because they trust the Democratic Party," Charlamagne told the lawmaker. "I agree with that. I think both political parties don't have a good brand right now," Warnock said. "And I think there's a way in which people have been trying for a long time almost to get above politics." "I do think both parties are very much on trial right now, and people want to know who will deliver for everyday people," Warnock said, "which is the work that I try to do every single day."
