在上周选举惨败后的艰难日子里,来自俄亥俄州的资深共和党众议员戴夫·乔伊斯警告同党议员吉姆·乔丹:这位保守派煽动者正在寻求他的党领袖投票支持。
乔伊斯回忆说,在本周的党内领袖选举前,他同时告诉乔丹和他的败选挑战者、众议员史蒂夫·斯卡利斯:“我们不能在愚蠢的道路上加倍下注。”
乔伊斯绝非公开批评总统唐纳德·特朗普的人,但他和一些志同道合的人警告称,在该党遭遇几十年来最惨重的失败之一后,他们不希望看到本党进一步拥抱“美国优先”(MAGA)议程。

乔伊斯在接受美国有线电视新闻网(CNN)采访时表示:“这次我们败选传递出一个清晰且强烈的信号,民众不喜欢我们正走向错误方向的做法。你们不能对民众的真实感受撒谎。民众在加油站能感受到物价上涨,在杂货店能感受到,在子女教育上能感受到,还能感受到可能因人工智能而丢工作的担忧。而我们在这些问题上没有采取任何措施加以解决。”
乔伊斯和其他温和派共和党人正敦促共和党领导人放弃对民主党的彻底攻击,转而制定切实可行的议程。但在选举后初期的反思阶段,他们在党内属于明显的少数派——该党上周选出了其历史上最保守的议员群体。
选举结束仅几天,共和党就以压倒性票数选择了特朗普的得力干将乔丹领导新一届国会,击败了建制派支持的斯卡利斯。随后,在白宫的强大压力下,除一名共和党人外,所有议员都投票反对触发国防部长皮特·赫格斯的弹劾程序。
乔丹的盟友称他不仅仅是任何总统的橡皮图章,还指出他已经赢得了几名较为温和的共和党人的支持。尽管如此,像乔伊斯和众议员迈克·辛普森这样的议员代表的是已日渐式微的共和党中间派——即便在选举惨败几天后,该党也未表现出与特朗普划清界限的迹象。
来自爱达荷州的共和党众议员辛普森表示:“我认为美国民众希望看到我们共同努力解决问题,而不是提出疯狂的提案或与这些提案对立。我们确实需要解决高能源成本和生活成本、住房问题等。正如我常跟大家说的,民主党不是敌人,只是我们的反对者。”

众议院自由核心小组领导人周三表示,共和党败选是因为他们的议程推进力度不够,比如边境收紧法案或特朗普的标志性投票权法案都在参议院被搁置。
来自宾夕法尼亚州、在国会选区竞选中落败的共和党强硬派众议员斯科特·佩里称:“没人听我们的。上周二我们输掉选举,不是因为我们没做足够多的‘自由派’事情,而是因为我们没有兑现对美国民众做出的承诺。”
许多这类极端保守派共和党人正推动在最后几周推出一个孤注一掷的政策一揽子计划,该计划将把特朗普的一些强硬边境政策固化,以及从政府项目中削减至少1万亿美元开支。
共和党未来的走向远未确定,2028年总统大选初选的残酷竞选周期即将到来。但从该党计划如何应对特朗普剩余两年任期的迹象来看,几乎没有人公开将败选归咎于这位总统。
来自佛罗里达州、乔丹的坚定盟友众议员布莱恩·马斯特在接受CNN采访时,被问及选举后该党的发展方向时表示:“如果你看我们的党团,这一届党团比上一届要保守得多。”
当被问及是否认为共和党需要调整政治立场才能在下一轮赢回选民时,马斯特回答:“我们的‘温和立场’是:宪法是我们的准则。宪法应当将左右派各方团结起来,我认为我们在右翼以宪法为指引的做法做得更好,这将成为我们的‘温和立场’。”
目前已落败的多数议员来自共和党治理集团(这一温和派组织),该组织约50名成员中近一半落败。另一个组织“问题解决者核心小组”的共和党籍成员19人中已有13人落败,包括该组织的共和党共同主席。
换句话说:在拒绝挑战特朗普2020年大选结果的120名共和党人中,目前仅剩约24人。

来自长岛的共和党众议员尼克·拉洛塔是另一位希望明年与民主党在移民改革等议题上合作的温和派议员。
当被问及特朗普应从此次选举中吸取什么教训时,拉洛塔表示,他认同特朗普近期在《60分钟》采访中反思称自己的移民政策可能“过于强硬”,且“可能存在信息传递不善的问题”。
拉洛塔正寻求从乔伊斯手中接过共和党治理集团的领导权,他表示自己的策略不会改变。
“我会为符合常识的保守价值观而战。但我也愿意谈判和妥协——我不认为这些是贬义词,”他说。

House Republicans’ middle is disappearing

In the painful days after last week’s election disaster, Dave Joyce, a senior Republican from Ohio, delivered a warning to fellow Rep. Jim Jordan as the conservative firebrand sought his vote for party leader.
“We can’t double down on stupid,” Joyce recalled telling both Jordan and his unsuccessful challenger, Rep. Steve Scalise, ahead of this week’s leadership race.
Joyce is far from an outspoken critic of President Donald Trump. But he — and some like him — are cautioning that they do not want to see their party further embrace the MAGA agenda after one of the party’s biggest wipeouts in decades.

“What happened to us was a message, clear and very loud, that people don’t like the way we’re been moving in the wrong direction,” Joyce told CNN. “You can’t lie to people about the things that they feel. They feel it at the pump. They feel it at the grocery store. They feel it in their kids’ education, in the potential for losing their jobs to AI. And we haven’t done anything to address those.”
Joyce and other centrist Republicans are urging GOP leaders to forgo scorched-earth attacks on Democrats in place of a real agenda. But in the early, post-election soul-searching, they are in the clear minority of a party that last week elected its most conservative class of members yet.
Just days after the election, Republicans chose Jordan, Trump’s prized combatant, to lead them in the new Congress in a landslide vote against establishment-backed Scalise. Then, within hours, all but one Republican blocked a vote that would have triggered an impeachment effort against Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth under fierce pressure from the White House.
Jordan allies argue he’s more than a rubber stamp for any president and note he has won the support of several more moderate Republicans. Still, lawmakers like Joyce and Rep. Mike Simpson represent the disappearing middle of a decimated Republican Party that, even days after its election drubbing, is showing no daylight between themselves and Trump.
“I think what the American people want to see is us working together to resolve problems, not when we bring up crazy shit — or crazy bills opposing stuff. We do need to address the high energy crisis and cost of living, housing,” Simpson, a Republican from Idaho, said. “Like I try to tell people, the Democrats are not the enemy. They are our opposition.”

Rep. Scott Perry speaks during a Freedom Caucus news conference on the lame-duck agenda in the US Capitol on Wednesday.

Leaders of the House Freedom Caucus said Wednesday that Republicans lost because they didn’t go far enough in their agenda, such as a border crackdown bill or Trump’s marquee voting bill that languished in the Senate.
“Nobody listened to us,” Rep. Scott Perry, a GOP hardliner who lost a House battleground seat in Pennsylvania, declared. “It’s not because we didn’t do enough liberal things that we had the result last Tuesday. It’s because we didn’t deliver on the things that we told America we were going to do.”
Many of those ultraconservative Republicans are now pushing for a last-gasp policy package in the final weeks that would codify some of Trump’s hardline border policies, as well as “at least $1 trillion” in spending cuts from government programs.
The future of the GOP is far from settled, with a nasty 2028 presidential primary cycle just ahead. But in a sign of how the party plans to handle Trump’s remaining two years in power, almost no one is publicly blaming the president in their election loss.
“If you look at our conference; we’re a significantly more conservative conference than what we were coming into this,” Rep. Brian Mast of Florida, a strong Jordan ally, told CNN when asked about the direction the party would take post-election.
Asked if he believed Republicans needed to moderate their political stances to win back voters next cycle, Mast replied: “Our moderation is this: the Constitution is our moderation. The Constitution should pull people in from the left and the right, and I think we do a better job of being guided by the Constitution on the right, and that will be our moderation.”
Most of the now-ousted members belonged to groups like the centrist Republican Governance Group, which lost nearly half of its roughly 50 members. Another, the Problem Solvers Caucus, lost 13 of its 19 GOP members, including its GOP co-leader.
Put another way: Of the 120 Republicans who refused to challenge the 2020 election results as Trump demanded, only about two dozen remain.

Rep. Nick LaLota, a Long Island Republican, is another centrist eager to work with Democrats next year on issues like immigration reform.
Asked what lessons Trump should take away from the election, LaLota said he agreed with Trump’s own post-election reflections in a recent “60 Minutes” interview that his deportation policy might have been “too tough” and that it was “bad messaging, maybe by me.”
LaLota, who is seeking to take over the mantle of the Republican Governance Group from Joyce, said his own tactics wouldn’t change.
“I’ll fight for my common-sense conservative values. But I’m also willing to negotiate and compromise – I don’t view those as bad words,” he said.
