俄亥俄州共和党众议员吉姆·乔丹将在下届国会接任众议院共和党领袖一职，其共和党同僚正迅速集结，推举他为最佳人选。
Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, is set to take the reins of the House GOP in the next Congress, and his fellow Republicans are quickly rallying to tout him as the best person for the job.
现任众议院司法委员会主席乔丹多年来在媒体上享有高曝光度，自2015年协助创立保守派的众议院自由核心小组以来，便以“激进派”著称。
The current House Judiciary Committee chairman has enjoyed a high profile in the media for years, long known as a bomb-thrower ever since he helped found the conservative House Freedom Caucus in 2015.
由于众议院少数党领袖的主要职责是领导反制多数党议程的信息战，共和党议员认为乔丹正处于向对方“投掷炸弹”的有利位置——这有可能削弱民主党多数派在2028年保住众议院控制权的论据。
Because a House minority leader's primary job is to lead counter-messaging against the majority's agenda, Republican lawmakers are arguing Jordan is in a prime position to be throwing bombs at the other side — potentially weakening the Democratic majority's own argument to keep the House in 2028.
“目前，我们的目标是阻止糟糕的主意。我认为吉姆将出色地阐述这些主意究竟有多么疯狂，”佛罗里达州共和党众议员迈克·哈里多波洛斯对福克斯新闻数字版表示。
"Right now, our goal is to stop bad ideas. And I think Jim will do a great job of articulating just how wild some of these ideas are," Rep. Mike Haridopolos, R-Fla., told Fox News Digital.
消息人士透露，哈里多波洛斯是众议院多数党领袖、路易斯安那州共和党众议员史蒂夫·斯卡利斯的长期盟友，后者在本周的众议院共和党内部领导层选举中以73票对106票不敌乔丹。
Haridopolos is a longtime ally of House Majority Leader Steve Scalise, R-La., who notably lost this week's internal House GOP leadership election to Jordan by a 106 to 73 margin, sources told Fox News Digital.
但即便是斯卡利斯的支持者，自周二选举结束后也迅速集结到乔丹身后。
But even Scalise's supporters have quickly rallied behind Jordan since Tuesday's race.
“共和党上周遭受重创，但现在是团结并重返工作的时候了。我已准备好协助吉姆和我们的团队，向每一位我们需要赢回的选民发声，在2028年夺回多数派地位，”得克萨斯州共和党众议员纳撒尼尔·莫兰在X平台发文称。他此前曾告诉福克斯新闻数字版，自己将投票给斯卡利斯。
"Republicans took a hard hit last week, but now it’s time to come together and get back to work. I’m ready to help Jim and our team speak to every voter we need to win the majority back in 2028," Rep. Nathaniel Moran, R-Texas, who told Fox News Digital he would vote for Scalise, posted on X after the election of Jordan.
乔丹的盟友、威斯康星州共和党众议员斯科特·菲茨杰拉德指出，这位即将上任的少数党领袖在监督和司法委员会与民主党交锋经验丰富，而这两个委员料将在调查——甚至可能弹劾——特朗普政府成员的过程中发挥关键作用。
Rep. Scott Fitzgerald, R-Wis., a Jordan ally, noted the incoming minority leader has had experience sparring with Democrats on the Oversight and Judiciary committees, which will likely play a prime role in investigating — and potentially impeaching — members of the Trump administration.
“这招很快就会失效，”菲茨杰拉德谈到民主党人的计划时说。“[乔丹] 心知肚明，因为我们曾处于另一方的位置。” 在担任众议院司法委员会共和党首席议员的六年里，乔丹巩固了自己作为唐纳德·特朗普总统和共和党得力“斗牛犬”的名声。他以向倾向民主党的证人提出尖锐、直击要害的问题，以及主导针对司法部门官员的调查而闻名，共和党指责这些官员阻挠特朗普的议程。
"That's going to wear thin in a hurry," Fitzgerald said of Democrats' plans. "[Jordan] understands it, because we've been on the other side of it." In his six years as head Republican on the House Judiciary Committee, Jordan has cemented his reputation as a capable bulldog for President Donald Trump and the GOP. He's known for asking sharp, pointed questions of Democrat-leaning witnesses and spearheading investigations into justice officials who Republicans accuse of blocking Trump's agenda.
“他绝对把那种运动员心态带进了委员会听证会 —— 你在新闻发布会上看到的，在众议院议场上也会看到，”乔丹的老助手拉塞尔·戴说。“你会看到一个绝不认输的人，他会冲出去，进攻，进攻，再进攻，而且是用普通美国人能听懂的方式去做。” “他是个斗士，”戴说。
"He definitely brings that athletic mentality to committee hearings — what you're gonna see in press conferences, you'll see it on the floor," said Russell Dye, a longtime former aide to Jordan. "You're gonna have a guy that's not just gonna lay down, he's going to get out there, attack, attack, attack, and do it in a way though, that normal Americans understand." "He's a fighter," Dye said.
众议院多数党党鞭、来自明尼苏达州的共和党人汤姆·埃默将在下届国会担任乔丹的“二把手”，他把乔丹比作“充电兔”，并称赞他是一位“决策者”。而这位俄亥俄州共和党人自己也发出信号，表明他视自己的角色为领导反对派的声音，以应对民主党人预料中将发起的大量调查。
House Majority Whip Tom Emmer, R-Minn., who will be going into the next Congress as Jordan's No. 2, compared him to the "energizer bunny" and praised him as a "decision-maker." And the Ohio Republican himself signaled that he sees his role as directing the voice of the opposition against a likely barrage of Democratic probes.
乔丹周三晚间在“汉尼提”节目中表示，共和党将在委员会会议上重点进行反击，那些调查和弹劾行动通常都始于此。
Jordan told "Hannity" on Wednesday night that Republicans would heavily focus their pushback during committee meetings, where those investigations and impeachment efforts traditionally start.
“[民主党人] 只是在攻击他们的政治对手，但这将是全方位的，在每一个委员会都是如此，”乔丹说。“作为众议院共和党人，我们致力于反击，向美国民众呈现事实和真相。” 但乔丹身边的共和党人表示，众议院自由核心小组主席乔丹和少数党领袖乔丹将是截然不同的两个人。
"[Democrats are] just attacking their political opposition, but it'll be across the board in every single committee," Jordan said. "And we are committed, as House Republicans, to pushing back and giving the facts and the truth to the American people." But House Freedom Caucus Chairman Jordan and Minority Leader Jordan will be very different people, Republicans around him have said.
这位俄亥俄州共和党人已不再公开批评党内同僚，转而公开呼吁团结，消息人士称他在上周争取领导职务的论证中强调了这一点。
The Ohio Republican has traded his days of publicly criticizing fellow GOP lawmakers in for public calls for unity, something sources said he stressed in his argument to win the leadership role last week.
“他变了。他成了党的代言人，”佐治亚州共和党众议员里奇·麦考密克说。“他很聪明……他是这个时刻的正确传声筒，为此他已经筹备了几十年。”但这种务实态度是否会延伸到与民主党人达成交易，仍有待观察。
"He's evolved. He's been a mouthpiece for the party," Rep. Rich McCormick, R-Ga., said. "He's intelligent...He's the right messenger for the right time, and he's been setting himself up for this for decades." But it remains to be seen if that pragmatism will extend to deal-making with Democrats.
当被问及乔丹是否会成为与对方党派谈判的好谈判代表时，佛罗里达州共和党众议员约翰·拉瑟福德说：“我认为会。他站在总统这边。”
"I think so," said Rep. John Rutherford, R-Fla., when asked if Jordan would be a good negotiator with the other party. "He's got the president on his side."
