AI-generated summary
美国中期选举在特朗普第二任期期间举行,民主党预计夺回参众两院控制权。马斯克在整个选举周期捐款4.74亿美元,成为最大个人出资者。特朗普此前自称“否决先生”,表示若国会丢失将否决民主党法案。
当地时间11月4日,美国中期选举选情已近尘埃落定。从多家美媒预测的结果来看,民主党不仅夺回国会参众两院控制权,还在传统共和党地盘上撕开了一串口子。对美国总统特朗普来说,在他第二任期的最后两年将不得不面对一个由对手掌控的国会。
砸钱难买胜利
据美国有线电视新闻网(CNN)报道,民主党在得克萨斯、俄亥俄、堪萨斯、南卡罗来纳等州翻转了多个共和党参议院席位,其中多人是特朗普亲自背书的候选人。
其中,得州的结果最具象征意义。民主党州议员詹姆斯·塔拉里科击败特朗普支持的得州总检察长肯·帕克斯顿,成为38年来首位代表得州进入参议院的民主党人。
在胜选集会上,塔拉里科对支持者说:“我们刚刚夺回了得州。我们刚刚证明,分裂的政治,敌不过爱的政治。”CNN称,这是2026年中期选举最大的冷门之一。
美国全国广播公司(NBC)指出,这场参议院选战相比2024年总统选举,向民主党方向摆动了超过23个百分点。
这场失利,砸钱的人也没能拦住。
据美国《纽约时报》统计,在整个中期选举周期,美国企业家埃隆·马斯克的已知政治捐款总额达到4.74亿美元,是本届选举最大的个人出资者。其中大部分资金流向他创立的“美国政治行动委员会”和支持共和党的“参议院领导基金”,得州是重点投放方向之一。
特朗普赛后总结:“民主党干得不错,真的”
选举夜,特朗普在社交媒体上写道:“我不在选票上,如果我在,我们会以压倒性优势获胜!”

同一晚,他接受美国福克斯新闻采访时换了个语气。“我认为民主党干得不错,真的。”他说,“他们打得很努力。”他还承认,伊朗战争可能对选情产生了影响。
特朗普在接受美国《纽约时报》采访时则表示,“绝对愿意接受这些结果”,并称期待与民主党合作。
有人喊团结,有人自嘲,有人不服
美国前总统巴拉克·奥巴马4日在社交媒体上表示:“今晚,美国人民传递了一个明确的信息——他们希望政治能够团结人民,而非分裂。”据美国《国会山报》报道,奥巴马此前曾在密歇根、佐治亚等摇摆州为多位民主党候选人助选。
同一天,马斯克也通过社交媒体发声自嘲。他说,“看来我那些干预选举的太空激光这次没起作用。”后面跟了一个耸肩的表情。
另据美国媒体报道,民主党被预测夺回众议院后,白宫内部传出“不服气”的声音。一名白宫官员对媒体放话说,等伊朗战事结束、汽油价格降下来,今天把票投给民主党的人,都会后悔。
“否决先生”已就位
特朗普此前给自己起了一个称号:国会丢了,就当“否决先生”。选举日当天,他在接受美国哥伦比亚广播公司采访时重申了这一说法。他还在社交媒体上分享了一顶写有“VETO”(否决)字样的红色帽子。

他对福克斯新闻详细解释了“否决先生”的具体操作:民主党会送“疯狂”的法案过来,他就否决;否决几个月后,民主党会打电话问“怎么才能把这些事办成”,然后“我们就会合作”。
NBC的一篇文章分析称,民主党接管众议院后,将掌控各委员会,获得传票权,并能对特朗普的政府、家族和商业活动展开监督调查。过去两年,特朗普一直在通过裁撤联邦机构、单方面加关税、取消国会已批拨款等方式试探行政权力的边界,而共和党控制的国会大多没有阻拦。
文章认为,这场即将到来的政治对峙堪称“史诗级对决”,美国宪法分权安排将遭遇重大考验。
英国《卫报》则指出,民主党掌控国会后,特朗普第二任期的最后两年将与前半段“明显不同”。

In the U.S. midterm elections, the Democratic Party regained control of the House and Senate, flipping several Senate seats in traditional Republican areas such as Texas. Elon Musk’s $474 million in political donations failed to change the election. Trump said he would be "Mr. No" and veto Democratic bills, foreshadowing an epic political confrontation in the next two years.

Taipei mayoral candidate of the Democratic Progressive Party Shen Boyang criticized Mayor Chiang Wanan for "questioning T and answering K" on the issue of child abuse, transferring the Taipei issue to Kaohsiung, and accused Chiang of spreading rumors and spreading false information. He believed that the issue of child abuse should be responded to head-on rather than claiming that Taipei is doing the best.

In an exclusive interview with Vision, Taipei mayoral candidate Shen Boyang of the Democratic Progressive Party said that Taipei City has a serious child abuse problem and may be the worst among the six cities. However, he admitted that without data he could only speculate. The current mayor Jiang Wanan criticized his figures for errors and said that municipal issues cannot be guessed out of thin air. The campaign offices of both parties subsequently fought back against each other. The focus of the dispute was the comparison of data on "child abuse at home" and "child abuse outside the home" and the loopholes in the child protection system.

When Kuomintang legislator Ye Yuanzhi questioned TaiwanPlus, he questioned the source of the program's audience. Shen Rongqin, an associate professor at York University in Canada, criticized him for being ignorant of geopolitics and having a discriminatory mentality. The two sides then engaged in a fierce confrontation on the Internet, with Shen Rongqin accusing Ye Yuanzhi of being stubborn and lacking in legislator qualities.

After the Republican Party lost the midterm elections, U.S. Vice President Vance blamed the election defeat on the war with Iran in an attempt to distance himself from President Trump. Trump responded that Vance spoke well but defended military action. Some White House officials believed that Vance had differences with the president on foreign policy and publicly acknowledged the impact of the war on the U.S. economy.

Taipei Mayor Chiang Wanan claimed at an election debate that the food poisoning case at Baolin Tea House was handled properly, sparking anger from the victims' families. Netizens revealed that one of the victims in the case was seriously ill and left behind a two-year-old son. They also questioned the city government's failure to recover a fine of 3.5 million yuan and Jiang Wanan's repeated absences from food safety meetings. They criticized him for treating the tragedy as a political achievement and adding salt to the wound.
