佛罗里达州州长罗恩·德桑蒂斯：得克萨斯州的结果将损害共和党未来发展
佛罗里达州州长罗恩·德桑蒂斯在《英格拉姆角》节目中谈及其所在州如何躲过民主党选举浪潮，并为共和党在中期选举后的发展方向指明道路。
2028年共和党白宫之争或许即将划出首批战线，副总统JD·万斯、参议员泰德·克鲁兹与佛罗里达州州长罗恩·德桑蒂斯迅速就共和党在中期选举中的惨重失利给出相互矛盾的评估，这或许会预示他们对该党未来的愿景。
三位极具影响力的共和党人均被视为该党总统候选人提名的潜在竞争者，他们利用这次复盘机会权衡失误所在，以及共和党人必须做出哪些改变——这场辩论将有助于确定共和党在步入2028年的发展方向。
“我认为所有人都在试图理清事后如何定位自己。”资深共和党策略师、总统竞选老手大卫·科赫尔对福克斯新闻数字频道表示，“我觉得这些举动都是为了着眼于2028年。”
石油钻井公司首席执行官、知名共和党捐助人兼筹款人丹·埃伯哈特对福克斯新闻数字频道称，2028年共和党总统候选人提名之战的“早期动作已经开始”。“这帮人在圣诞节前会较量几个回合。”

万斯周三上午在X平台（原推特）上发布了一篇约600字的复盘内容，将共和党数十年来最惨重的选举失利归咎于唐纳德·特朗普总统与伊朗的战争。共和党在此轮选举中失去了国会控制权，以及多个州长职位和州议会席位。
受高物价和对伊战争引发的愤怒情绪推动，选民对特朗普及其议程表示反对，帮助民主党在众议院和参议院赢得了多数席位。
“我们失利的原因就是这场战争，”万斯写道，显然是在外交政策和美国与以色列的关系上与自己的上司保持距离。“任何关于我们未来走向的坦诚对话都必须从这里开始。”
万斯的这一言论被一些评论家视为为最终争夺“美国优先”运动（MAGA）的核心地位所做的早期铺垫。他认为，导致共和党在中期选举中溃败的原因是2024年成功联盟的选民流失，而非共和党选民的投票率不足。

科赫尔称万斯的评估“最引人注目，因为这似乎在说‘嘿，我们在伊朗战争问题上犯了错’，而这是我见过一位副总统罕见的表态——不是批评特朗普，而是在政策层面提出批评”。
当被问及万斯的帖子时，特朗普告诉记者：“我知道他对此的看法。我觉得没问题，我认为很好。”
总统承认，这场战争及其引发的汽油和柴油价格上涨损害了他的政党在选举中的表现，但坚称此举是值得的。
“如果再让我选一次，我还是会这么做，”他说，“至于那场战争，我不会有任何改变。”
总统的长子、“美国优先”运动核心人物小唐纳德·特朗普迅速对万斯的复盘表示赞同，他在X平台上写道：“每一个字都是💯 💯 💯。”
万斯发布评估数小时后，克鲁兹也在社交平台上发布了自己对中期选举的尖锐看法。
民意调查机构失准，但这次并非低估共和党人

这位来自得克萨斯州的保守派“激进派”参议员，曾在2016年共和党总统初选中成为特朗普的亚军，且从不掩饰自己可能再次角逐白宫的意图。他将中期选举描述为“蓝色海啸”，并警告其政党已与选民脱节，尤其是在“孤星州”（得克萨斯州的别称）。
“2026年的灾难不只是蓝色浪潮，更是蓝色海啸，是一场彻头彻尾的惨败，”克鲁兹写道。“这远不止是一场糟糕的2006年中期选举，更是水门事件级别的反对浪潮。”
“这次选举的后果在得克萨斯州最为严重，”克鲁兹写道。“在孤星州，我们输掉了每一场全州范围的选举……得克萨斯州已沦为蓝州。这话很难说出口。”
佛罗里达州的德桑蒂斯将共和党中期选举惨败描述为“接近灭绝级事件”
克鲁兹将失利归咎于生活成本高企，并提到了特朗普的关税政策和对伊战争。
“食品太贵，汽油太贵，柴油太贵，保险太贵，生活成本太高，”他写道。“人们的不满是理所当然的，而当选的共和党人在解决他们切实面临的困境方面做得还不够。”
任期受限的保守派州长德桑蒂斯曾参加2024年共和党总统候选人提名竞选，但最终被特朗普彻底击败。他周三上午召开新闻发布会，称中期选举结果“对全国共和党人来说是一场接近灭绝级的灾难”。

“坦率地说，这将会造成影响——不仅仅是未来两年……这一局面可能会在未来十年甚至更长时间里产生余波，”他说。“我们知道情况本可能更糟。我认为我们大多数人都没想到会糟成这样。”
但德桑蒂斯反复强调，“唯一能稳住阵脚、抵挡住这股浪潮的州，正是‘自由州’佛罗里达。”

虽然大多数评论家认为克鲁兹很可能是2028年的竞争者，但德桑蒂斯的动向仍存在不确定性。
但总部位于佛罗里达的埃伯哈特认为，“2028年竞选的第一颗子弹是罗恩·德桑蒂斯击中了特朗普5000美元派息政策的软肋，”指的是总统在9月初共和党中期选举大会上的承诺：如果共和党保住参众两院，就将向每位美国成年公民发放一笔现金。

分析这些复盘内容，科赫尔表示：“我认为我们还会在废墟中挖掘一段时间……该党将经历这段后末日时期，摸索未来的发展方向。”
他警告称：“要维系联盟真的很难。我认为特朗普凭借其个人魅力的力量做到了这一点，是独一无二的，但我觉得未来将会有很多博弈。”

Vance, Cruz and DeSantis diagnose GOP’s midterm disaster as battle over party’s future begins
All three offered competing postmortems on GOP midterm losses, with Vance putting daylight between himself and Trump

Gov Ron DeSantis: Texas results will hurt the GOP going forward
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis discusses how his state avoided a Democratic electoral wave and lays out where the GOP should go after the midterms on ‘The Ingraham Angle.’
The 2028 Republican White House race may be getting its first battle lines, as Vice President JD Vance, Sen. Ted Cruz and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis quickly offered competing assessments of the GOP’s devastating midterm election losses, potentially previewing their visions for the party’s future.
The three high-profile Republicans, all viewed as potential contenders for the party’s presidential nomination, used their postmortems to weigh what went wrong and what Republicans must do differently — a debate that could help define the GOP’s direction heading into 2028.
“I think everybody’s trying to figure out where to position themselves in the aftermath. Where were you on the day after,” longtime Republican strategist and presidential campaign veteran David Kochel told Fox News Digital. “I think these are all moves designed to look towards 2028.”
Oil drilling CEO and prominent Republican donor and bundler Dan Eberhart told Fox News Digital that “the early moves have started” in the 2028 Republican presidential nomination race. “These guys are going to go a couple of rounds before Christmas.”

Vance kicked off the debate Wednesday morning with a roughly 600-word postmortem on X, blaming President Donald Trump’s war with Iran for Republicans’ worst ballot-box drubbing in decades as they lost control of Congress, along with a slew of governorships and state legislatures.
Fueled by anger over high costs and the war with Iran, voters delivered a repudiation of Trump and his agenda, boosting Democrats to large majorities in the House and Senate.
“The reason we lost is the war,” Vance wrote as he appeared to put daylight between himself and his boss on foreign policy and America’s relationship with Israel. “Any honest conversation about where we go from here must start there.”
Vance, in what some pundits viewed as an early pitch to eventually claim the MAGA and America First mantle, argued that defections from the party’s successful 2024 coalition of voters, rather than a lack of GOP turnout, fueled the Republican collapse in the midterms.

Kochel called Vance’s assessment “the most striking because it appears to say ‘hey, we made a mistake with the war in Iran,’ and that’s about as far as I’ve seen a vice president go, not as a criticism of Trump but as a criticism in the policy.”
Asked about Vance’s post, Trump told reporters, “I know how he feels about it. I think it was fine. I thought it was good.”
The president acknowledged that the war and the high gas and diesel prices it spurred hurt his party at the ballot box but insisted it was worth the cost.
“If I had to do it again, I’d have to do it again,” he said. “As far as that war is concerned, I would have done nothing different.”
Donald Trump Jr., the president’s eldest son and a prominent figure in the MAGA movement, quickly gave Vance’s postmortem a thumbs-up, writing on X, “Every word of this is 💯 💯 💯.”
Hours after Vance posted his assessment, Cruz posted his own scathing take on the midterms.
POLLSTERS MISSED THE MARK, BUT THIS TIME IT WASN’T REPUBLICANS THEY UNDERCOUNTED

The conservative firebrand senator from Texas, who was runner-up to Trump in the bruising 2016 Republican presidential primaries and has made no secret that he may run for the White House again, described the midterms as a “blue tsunami” and warned that his party had lost touch with voters, particularly in the Lone Star State.
“2026 was not simply a blue wave; it was a blue tsunami. It was an a– kicking,” Cruz wrote. “It was not simply a bad 2006 midterm election. It was a Watergate-level repudiation.”
“Nowhere are the consequences of this election greater than Texas,” Cruz wrote. “In the Lone Star State, we lost every single statewide election…Texas is blue. That is a hard sentence to utter.”
FLORIDA’S DESANTIS DESCRIBES GOP MIDTERMS WIPEOUT AS ‘CLOSE TO AN EXTINCTION-LEVEL EVENT’ FOR REPUBLICANS
Cruz blamed the losses on the high cost of living and pointed to Trump’s tariffs and the war in Iran.
“Food is too high, gas is too high, diesel is too high, insurance is too high, life is too high,” he wrote. “Understandably, people were pissed off, and elected Republicans didn’t do enough to address their very real pain.”
DeSantis, the term-limited conservative governor who ran for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination before being decisively defeated by Trump, held a news conference Wednesday morning where he called the midterm election results “close to an extinction-level event for Republicans across the country.”

“Let’s just be clear, that is going to hurt — not just for the next two years… That is something that can reverberate for the next decade or more,” he said. “We knew it could be worse. I don’t think most of us thought it would be this bad.”
But DeSantis repeatedly highlighted that “the one state that was able to hold the line and withstand that is right here in the free state of Florida.”

While most pundits view Cruz as a likely 2028 contender, the jury’s been out regarding DeSantis.
But Eberhart, who’s Florida-based, argued that “the first bullet in the 2028 contest was Ron DeSantis throwing cold water on Trump’s $5,000 dividend,” referring to the president’s early September pledge at the GOP midterm convention to make a cash payment to every adult U.S. citizen if Republicans retained the House and Senate.

Looking at the postmortems, Kochel said, “I think that we’re going to be digging through the rubble for a while…The party going to have through this post apocalyptic period here and figure out what’s the message going forward.”
He cautioned, “It’s going to be really hard to hold the coalition together. I think Trump was uniquely able to do it with the power of his celebrity but I think there’s going to be a lot of machinations here going forward.”
