去年無故遭到國防部長赫格塞斯(Pete Hegseth)解職的前海軍中將拉蔻兒(Nancy Lacore),在這次美國期中選舉中,代表民主黨參選南卡羅來納州第一國會選區聯邦眾議員勝出,成功翻轉這個長期由共和黨掌握的選區。

綜合美國媒體報導,南卡羅來納州第一國會選區長期由共和黨所掌握,4年前眾議員選舉共和黨大贏近17%,2年前美國總統大選,川普也在這個選區以13個百分點的差距大勝民主黨對手。

這次期中選舉民主黨推派前海軍中將拉蔻兒參選,經過一夜激戰,在開票99%的情況下,拉蔻兒以16萬1878票領先共和黨候選人霍尼卡特(Jenny Honeycutt)15萬8570票;拉蔻兒宣布勝出,稱霍尼卡特團隊已經承認敗選,「我們知道這不會容易,但我們也知道南卡羅來納州人民感到沮喪、疲憊,並渴望一些改變」。

拉蔻兒育有6名孩子,在美國海軍服役35年,從直升機飛行員一路升任海軍預備役司令,領導近6萬名官兵,最高軍階為三星中將,去年8月,國防部長赫格塞斯突然宣布解除包含她在內多名高階軍事將領職務,五角大廈並未公開說明解除職務理由。拉蔻兒表示,自己是在沒有獲得明確解釋的情況下遭到撤職。

卸下軍裝後,拉蔻兒加入民主黨,投入艱困選區南卡羅來納州沿海第一國會選區,在競選期間批評多次赫格塞斯管理五角大廈的方式,並將他描繪成美伊戰爭的代表人物,這場戰爭日益不受美國民眾歡迎,她的說法引起選民共鳴,最終成功翻轉這個長期由共和黨把持的選區。

Bringing up the Su Qiaohui family controversy again Li Sichuan: Young people have a sense of relative deprivation

KMT New Taipei City mayoral candidate Li Sichuan questioned DPP candidate Su Qiaohui's family's involvement in the dispute over the investment interests of "Queshi Intelligence" and asked the Ministry of Finance to provide relevant information to the Audit Department. He also pointed out that if his father is the executive president and his sister is a legislator, he can easily obtain more than 40 million yuan in government investment, which will give young people a sense of relative deprivation. Su Qiaohui responded that the relevant ministries would explain clearly that her sister filled out the form truthfully and did not need to embarrass civil servants because of the election.

The night of Republican defeat: Eight key takeaways from the U.S. midterm election results

Trump has lost public trust on economic issues, the delay in the Iran war has caused gasoline prices to rise, the MAGA alliance has broken down, and the Democratic Party has united.
