即将出任众议院少数党领袖的共和党俄亥俄州众议员吉姆·乔丹在接受福克斯新闻采访时表示，他致力于在共和党仍掌握国会多数派优势期间，最大限度地推进共和党的立法议程，这要在民主党凭借中期选举胜利于1月控制参众两院之前完成。
Incoming House Minority Leader Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, told Fox News he is committed to maximizing the GOP’s legislative agenda while Republicans still hold a majority in Congress, before Democrats take control of both chambers in January following their midterm wins.
乔丹是在《汉尼提》节目上发表上述言论的。此前，众议院共和党人以106票对73票的无记名投票结果，选举他自明年1月起领导众议院少数党。
Jordan’s remarks on "Hannity" came after House Republicans elected him in a 106–73 secret ballot vote to lead the minority in the lower chamber beginning in January.
乔丹在当选后的首次采访中说：“我们必须在拥有多数派优势时加以利用，趁民主党人在下一届国会全力追击共和党之前。”
"We've got to use the majority while we have a chance before the Democrats spend all the next Congress going after Republicans," Jordan said during his first interview since being elected.
这位俄亥俄州议员的当选，是在共和党遭遇灾难性的中期选举失利、导致众议院议长迈克·约翰逊退出领导层之后。周二，共和党南达科他州参议员约翰·图恩再次当选，将领导参议院共和党少数党。
The Ohio lawmaker’s victory comes after catastrophic midterm losses for the GOP prompted House Speaker Mike Johnson to step away from his leadership stoop. Sen. John Thune, R-S.D., was chosen again Tuesday to lead the Republican Party’s minority in the Senate.
作为拥有二十年众议院资历的老将，乔丹预计将成为特朗普在国会的首席捍卫者，因为民主党正准备发起调查，矛头直指特朗普的内阁、家庭和商业利益。
Jordan, a two-decade House veteran, is expected to be Trump’s top defender in Congress as Democrats prepare investigations targeting his Cabinet, family and business interests.
乔丹对福克斯新闻主持人肖恩·汉尼提说：“还会有第三次弹劾。他们管不住自己。他们会追查内阁每一位成员——我们已经在战争部长赫格塞斯身上看到了这一点。他们会追查私营部门的人士，我认为这很荒谬。”乔丹还预测，民主党将把调查矛头指向他们认为将成为2028年共和党总统提名人的任何人，点名副总统万斯或国务卿鲁比奥为潜在目标。
"There'll be a third impeachment. They can't help themselves," he told Fox News host Sean Hannity. "They're going to go after everyone in the Cabinet — we've already seen that with Secretary of War Hegseth. They're going to go after people in the private sector, which I think is ridiculous." Jordan also predicted Democrats will direct their investigations toward whoever they believe will emerge as the Republican presidential nominee in 2028, identifying Vice President JD Vance or Secretary of State Marco Rubio as potential targets.
他说：“对民主党来说，一切关乎政治，关乎追击他们的政治对手。”
"For the Democrats, it's all about politics and going after their political opponents," he said.
他补充道：“而我们众议院共和党人致力于——进行反击，向美国民众呈现事实和真相。”
"And we are committed, as House Republicans — pushing back and giving the facts and the truth to the American people," he added.
乔丹誓言将在跛脚鸭会期期间确保共和党议员出席关键投票，因为该党试图在民主党掌控国会之前推进尽可能多的立法。
Jordan vowed to keep Republicans present for key votes during the lame-duck session, as the party looks to push forward as much legislation as possible before Democratic congressional control.
他嘲讽了11名民主党籍众议院同僚在最近一次与弹劾战争部长皮特·赫格塞斯相关的投票中缺席。
He jeered 11 Democratic House colleagues who were absent during a recent vote related to efforts to impeach Secretary of War Pete Hegseth.
“我们将致力于确保所有人都在场，不像昨晚的民主党人——我们在那次投票中击败了他们，因为我们有人在场，”这位俄亥俄州众议员说。“我们将这样做，因为我们在跛脚鸭会期仍拥有多数席位时，有一些重要事情需要努力完成。”乔丹表示，众议院共和党人将为美国人民而战，并对抗他所描述的民主党“法律战”。
"We’re going to work on making sure everyone is here, unlike the Democrats last night — we beat them on that vote because we have people here," said the Ohio congressman. "We're going to be doing that because we've got important things we need to try to get done in this lame-duck session while we still have the majority." Jordan said House Republicans will fight for the American people and fight against what he described as Democratic lawfare.
“[民主党人]将搞各种疯狂的法律战手段和疯狂的调查，”他说。“我们将为美国家庭而战。”
"[Democrats] are going to do all this crazy lawfare stuff and these crazy investigations," he said. "We're going to be fighting for American families."
