【ワシントン時事】トランプ米政権の評価が問われる中間選挙は3日、全米で投開票が行われた。米メディアによると、野党民主党が上下両院でそれぞれ多数派奪還を確実にした。対イラン軍事作戦や物価高への不満が響き、トランプ大統領率いる与党共和党に逆風となった。トランプ氏の求心力低下は避けられず、残り2年の任期は厳しい政権運営を強いられる。
トランプ氏、選挙結果受け入れる 米紙
トランプ氏はニューヨーク・タイムズ紙に、「(選挙の)一連の結果を受け入れる用意がある」と述べた。
CNNテレビによると、全議席が改選される下院(定数435)は米東部時間3日午後11時50分(日本時間4日午後1時50分)現在、共和党が105議席、民主党が177議席の当選を確実にした。民主党は重要法案の通過を阻止し、議会調査権を通じてトランプ政権との対決姿勢を前面に押し出すとみられる。
上院(定数100)は補欠選挙と合わせ35議席が選出対象。共和党は非改選議席31と合わせ39議席、民主党は南部サウスカロライナ州で議席を奪い、接戦州とされたテキサス、オハイオ、カンザス、アイオワ各州も制した。非改選議席34と合わせ51議席を獲得する見通し。アラスカ州では共和党現職と同姓同名の候補が出馬しており、混乱も予想される。
中間選挙では、全50州のうち36州で知事選も実施。共和党の牙城でも接戦が伝えられる。民主党で次期大統領候補に取り沙汰されるペンシルベニア州のシャピロ知事らが勝利を確実にした。南部ジョージア州は民主党のケイシャ・ランス・ボトムズ前アトランタ市長が制し、史上初の黒人女性知事が誕生する。

Votes were counted on the 3rd in the midterm elections in which the evaluation of the Trump administration was questioned, and the opposition Democratic Party regained the majority in both houses of Congress. President Trump admitted defeat in an interview on the 4th, and is expected to have a difficult time managing his administration for the remaining two years of his term.

Supporters exploded with joy when it was reported that the Democratic Party had an advantage in Texas and Michigan, which were close contests in the U.S. midterm elections for the U.S. Senate on the 3rd. Expectations are high for the Democratic Party to make strides against a backdrop of dissatisfaction with rising prices and widening inequality.

In the U.S. midterm elections where high prices were the biggest issue, voters in Detroit, Austin and other cities voiced their opinions at voting booths. While there was an outpouring of dissatisfaction with rising inflation following the start of military operations against Iran, there were also voices of support for President Trump.

On Bunka Day, the Order of Culture Parent Ceremony was held at the Imperial Palace, where seven people, including Kenzo Go, a professor emeritus at Tokyo University of Science who is scheduled to receive the Nobel Prize in Chemistry, received the medal from His Majesty the Emperor. Shigeru Miyamoto was absent, and a press conference was held after the ceremony.

In the U.S. midterm Senate elections, which were counted on the 3rd, the Republican Party lost several seats in battleground states such as Texas. In Ohio, Republican Sen. John Husted, who is aiming to replace Vice President Vance, lost to former Democratic Sen. Sherrod Brown, which could have an impact on the race to succeed Mr. Trump. It was the first Democratic victory in Texas in 38 years, and the first Democratic victory in Kansas in 94 years.

Yuichiro Tamaki, representative of the Democratic Party for the People, said, ``There is no way we can support the consumption tax reduction bill submitted by the government as it stands,'' and said that he would decide whether to approve the bill on the condition that it accepts counterproposals. Komeito and the Democratic Reform Party are also discussing how to respond to the government's proposal, and opposition is growing ahead of the House of Representatives vote expected on the 6th.
