一份要求任命众议员阿亚娜·普雷斯利（民主党-马萨诸塞州）为下一任众议院议长的Change.org请愿书，截至周四晚间已获得超过5.8万个签名。
A Change.org petition requesting Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-Mass.) be named the next Speaker of the House has received more than 58,000 signatures as of Thursday evening.
这份请愿书于上周五发布，由“支持阿亚娜·普雷斯利议长联盟”发起。该联盟自称是“来自全国各地的进步活动人士，致力于选举”这位议员在众议院领导其政党。
The petition, released last Friday, was set up by the Coalition for Speaker Ayanna Pressley, “progressive activists from across the country dedicated to electing” the lawmaker to lead her party in the House.
截至美国东部时间周四下午5点，请愿书已获得58,503个签名。
It has received 58,503 signatures as of 5 p.m. EST on Thursday.
该联盟在一份声明中表示，普雷斯利“在动荡的政治格局中代表着希望与正直的灯塔”。声明赞扬了她在刑事司法改革和气候变化等问题上的记录和领导力，并补充说选举她“不仅仅是政治问题”。
The coalition said in a statement that Pressley “represents a beacon of hope and integrity in a tumultuous political landscape.”It praised her record and leadership on issues like criminal justice reform and climate change, adding that electing her was “not just about politics.”
“她有能力促进有意义的对话，并在政治分歧之间架起桥梁，这使她 uniquely 有资格担任这一关键角色，”该组织表示。“在一个分裂的国会中，她作为公正平衡的领导者的角色，对于推动满足所有美国人需求的[两党]立法至关重要。”
“Her ability to foster meaningful conversations and build bridges across the political aisle makes her uniquely qualified for this pivotal role,” the group said. “In a divided Congress, her role as a fair and balanced leader will be crucial in driving [bipartisan] legislation that addresses the needs of all Americans.”
该组织还表示，普雷斯利的领导风格“与大多数美国人对政府的期望相一致”，并且她“倾听选民的声音……做出反映我们社会多样性和复杂性的明智决定”。《共同梦想》周三首次报道了这份请愿书。
The group added that Pressley’s leadership style “aligns with what the majority of Americans want to see in their government,” and that she “listens to her constituents … making informed decisions that reflect the diversity and complexity of our society.”Common Dreams first reported on the petition Wednesday.
普雷斯利尚未表示有兴趣发起挑战众议院少数党领袖哈基姆·杰弗里斯（民主党-纽约州）议长职位的竞选。杰弗里斯将在明年1月第120届国会开幕时成为美国首位黑人议长。
Pressley has not expressed interest in launching a bid to challenge the Speakership from House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.), who is poised to become the country’s first Black Speaker at the start of the 120th Congress in January.
不过，据周二的一条社交媒体帖子，在民主党上周在2026年中期选举中取得全面胜利后，她确实呼吁民主党人满足选民的期望，呼吁她的同事们成为“房间里的斗士”。
She did, though, call on Democrats to meet the expectations from voters after the party made sweeping victories in the 2026 midterm elections last week, calling on her colleagues to be “the FIGHTERS in the room,” according to a social media post Tuesday.
这份请愿出现之际，一些进步派民主党人正在质疑杰弗里斯和参议院少数党领袖查克·舒默（民主党-纽约州）的领导力，而此前该党在国会两院均占据主导地位。
The petition comes as some progressive Democrats question Jeffries and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer’s (D-N.Y.) leadership ahead of the party’s dominance in both chambers of Congress.
舒默也面临着自己的反叛，一些参议院民主党人和与民主党党团合作的参议员伯尼·桑德斯（独立人士-佛蒙特州）表示，他们不会支持这位纽约州民主党人担任参议院多数党领袖。桑德斯说，当前时刻需要在应对生活成本和财富不平等等问题上采取更大行动。
Schumer faces a rebellion of his own, with some Senate Democrats and Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), who caucuses with Democrats, saying they will not back the New York Democrat as Senate majority leader. Sanders said the moment calls for greater action in responding to issues like the cost of living and wealth inequality.
“我是否认为查克一直在朝那个方向领导？不，”他告诉记者。参议员克里斯·范霍伦（民主党-马里兰州）被视为舒默的潜在挑战者。他周一表示，在考虑竞选这一职位时，他处于“倾听模式”。
“Do I think Chuck has been leading in that direction? No,” he told reporters Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.) has been seen as a potential challenger to Schumer. He said Monday that he was in “listening mode” as he considers running for the role.
