Democrats win control of both US House and Senate in midterms美国中期选举:民主党拿下参众两院控制权
Democrats flipped Senate seats including Texas, Ohio, North Carolina and Maine to secure at least 54 seats, and CBS projects 251–268 House seats. The result ends unified Republican control of Washington for the rest of President Trump's term.民主党在得州、俄亥俄、北卡罗来纳和缅因等州翻盘,参议院至少拿下 54 席;CBS 预计其众议院席位在 251 至 268 席之间。这意味着特朗普余下任期内,共和党将不再同时掌控白宫和国会。
Fallout began quickly: House Speaker Mike Johnson told staff he will not seek another term as Republican leader, and Steve Scalise said he will run for minority leader. Vice President JD Vance said the Iran war was the reason Republicans lost, a view Trump called "largely true" because of its effect on fuel prices. Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer and House Democrats signalled investigations and legislative pressure; Trump retains his veto.
选举余波迅速显现:众议院议长约翰逊告诉幕僚,他不会再争取共和党领袖职位,斯卡利斯则宣布竞选少数党领袖。副总统万斯表示伊朗战争是共和党落败的原因,特朗普称这一说法“基本属实”,因为战争推高了油价。参议院民主党领袖舒默和众议院民主党人表示将展开调查并施加立法压力;特朗普仍握有否决权。
