中期选举已经结束，但更激烈的争斗才刚刚开始。
这些争斗聚焦于参众两院的领导层选举。来自路易斯安那州的共和党籍众议院议长迈克·约翰逊（Mike Johnson）不会谋求少数党领袖一职。
特朗普总统与来自南达科他州的共和党籍参议院多数党领袖约翰·图恩（John Thune）的观点并非总是一致，但总统并未要求更换该职位。
部分即将就职的参众两院进步派人士，尽管民主党在周二晚间取得了令人惊艳的胜利，仍对众议院少数党领袖、来自纽约州的民主党人哈基姆·杰弗里斯（Hakeem Jeffries）以及参议院少数党领袖、来自纽约州的民主党人查克·舒默（Chuck Schumer）表达了保留态度。
记者手记：民主党掌控多数可能暴露进步派议程的局限性

来自密歇根州的民主党参议员当选人阿卜杜勒·赛义德（Abdul El-Sayed）长期以来一直警告称，他可能不会支持舒默竞选多数党领袖一职。
“如果您是查克·舒默，那我就是危险的，”赛义德在6月末时曾表示。
选举刚结束时，这位密歇根州民主党人在全国广播公司（NBC）被问及是否支持舒默时回避了这个问题。
“我将投票给能让我最有机会实现‘政治去金钱化、提高民众收入、通过全民医保’目标的人选，”赛义德表示。“我有兴趣与我们党团的其他成员一起，看看我们有哪些选择。”
周四在有线电视新闻网（CNN）上，赛义德重申了对马里兰州民主党参议员克里斯·范霍伦（Chris Van Hollen）的支持，而范霍伦尚未宣布参选任何职位。
“我认为他会是一位出色的参议院多数党领袖，”赛义德如此评价范霍伦。
但即便是其他新晋议员也不愿承诺支持舒默。
“不，我不会（支持舒默），”来自堪萨斯州的民主党参议员当选人亚当·汉密尔顿（Adam Hamilton）在选举前接受福克斯新闻采访时表示。“而且我已经说过我不会给他投票。”
“我认为两党都已经为新一代领导层做好了充分准备，”来自南卡罗来纳州的民主党参议员当选人安妮·安德鲁斯（Annie Andrews）告诉同事布雷特·拜尔（Bret Baier）。
“我告诉舒默参议员，我将支持其他人，”来自缅因州的民主党参议员当选人特洛伊·杰克逊（Troy Jackson）表示。
但舒默对此并不在意。
“我将以多数党领袖的身份连任，”他在周三被记者问及此事时表示。“关键在于聚焦美国人民以及他们所想要的东西。”
舒默要成为多数党领袖，只需在党团秘密投票中获得约29名成员的支持即可，这一数字达到了明年预计将任职的参议院民主党人的多数门槛。
至少5名民主社会主义者成员承诺，除非就其议程取得明确成果，否则将不支持杰弗里斯——这位美国历史上首位担任众议院议长的黑人。新一届国会将于1月3日召开会议，届时要成功当选议长，需要在全部435个众议院席位中获得绝对多数，即218票（前提是所有当选众议员都参与投票）。
请记住，所有席位全部决出后，民主党在众议院可能会获得超过260个席位。因此，杰弗里斯可以承受数十人的倒戈。
对于众议院共和党人而言，约翰逊可能在上个月与同事艾莎·哈斯尼（Aishah Hasnie）交谈时就已暗示了他的未来规划。
“如果上帝感动我们的内心，指引我回到家乡什里夫波特（Shreveport）开一家草坪公司，我会去做的，”约翰逊表示。

现在还不能确定约翰逊很快就会变成《辛普森一家》里的园丁威利（Groundskeeper Willie）。但对约翰逊而言，成为“割草机人”（The Lawnmower Man）或许比在竞选少数党领袖时被自己的同僚击败是更好的选择。
也许路易斯安那州的草确实更绿。
来自路易斯安那州的共和党籍众议院多数党领袖史蒂夫·斯卡利斯（Steve Scalise）和来自俄亥俄州的共和党众议员吉姆·乔丹（Jim Jordan）正在竞选众议院共和党领袖一职。来自明尼苏达州的共和党籍众议院多数党党鞭汤姆·埃默（Tom Emmer）希望继续担任少数党党鞭，他正面临来自得克萨斯州共和党众议员奥古斯特·普弗勒格（August Pfluger）的挑战。
但问题在于：这些众议院共和党人要如何在赢得领导职位的同时维系自己的联盟？目前尚不清楚共和党人是否认为乔丹和斯卡利斯适合该党当前的发展方向。两人都与特朗普总统立场一致，而一些共和党人希望摆脱这种绑定。
无论如何，民主党竞选时打出了两张牌：生活成本问题，以及追究特朗普政府的责任。但民主党的立法议程究竟是什么样的？
这与1994年的情况不同，当年共和党众议员议长、来自佐治亚州的纽特·金里奇（Newt Gingrich）精心制定了著名的《美国契约》（Contract with America），作为给选民的承诺，列出了共和党若在40年来首次夺回众议院后将采取的举措。
查克·舒默在民主党中期选举大获全胜后表态：“我将连任多数党领袖”
民主党对计划投票的事项有诸多想法。
“我们首先必须进入国会，重点推动取消那项庞大糟糕法案中的削减内容，”来自伊利诺伊州的民主党参议员当选人朱莉安娜·斯特拉顿（Juliana Stratton）在CNN承诺道。
预计还将举行关于恢复过期的《平价医疗法案》（Obamacare，奥巴马医改）补贴的投票。民主党要求提供资金以抵消保费上涨的成本，作为其支持政府拨款法案的交换条件。众议院最终通过了一项相关法案，但参议院并未通过。围绕奥巴马医改援助的僵局是去年创纪录的43天政府停摆的关键因素。
“政府停摆让美国民众更清晰地认识到两党在这一关键问题上的区别，”舒默表示。
民主党还聚焦中期选举的核心议题之一：人工智能和数据中心的未来。他们担忧人工智能会威胁美国就业。
“对数据中心的反对只是一场更大人工智能地震的初期震动，这场地震正在颠覆美国政治，”进步党团主席、得克萨斯州民主党众议员格雷格·卡萨（Greg Casar）表示。“我们必须站在这个问题的正确一方。”
无疑会有关于结束伊朗战争的投票——或许是通过切断军事行动资金的方式。众议院已批准三项“战争权力”决议，参议院批准了一项，但这些努力未能限制总统在战争问题上的行动。
民主党认为，结束战争将降低汽油价格，进而降低食品杂货的成本。

国会共和党人不愿取消特朗普总统征收的关税，因此这方面也可能举行投票。民主党认为，这次选举改变了共和党人近乎一致支持总统的态势。
“现在是（共和党）展现勇气的时候，结束特朗普推行的这种非理性、自毁式的关税制度，”亚利桑那州民主党众议员格雷格·斯坦顿（Greg Stanton）表示。
“他们中的大多数人意识到，从财政和经济角度来看，这些关税完全是自毁式的。”
然而，一些共和党人并不准备放弃旧策略，坚持本党本届国会标志性的立法成果。
“我认为选民低估了减税政策和《宏大美好法案》（Big, Beautiful Bill），”新泽西州共和党众议员克里斯·史密斯（Chris Smith）表示。
特朗普总统暗示，他将既与民主党合作，也会动用否决权。但关键要看实际票数。所有众议院席位全部决出后，民主党可能将掌控超过260个众议院席位。
这太惊人了。
在密西西比州和阿拉斯加州的席位尚未确定的情况下，民主党已确保获得54个参议院席位
关键要看实际票数。推翻否决需要参众两院均达到三分之二的多数门槛，即众议院290票、参议院67票。如果民主党在众议院维持约260个席位，而共和党准备放弃总统，那么达到290票并非遥不可及。
如果民主党在参议院获得56个席位，那么要争取11名共和党议员支持以达到67票的门槛可能会更难。尤其是随着特朗普的反对者——前参议院多数党领袖、肯塔基州共和党人米奇·麦康奈尔（Mitch McConnell），以及参议员约翰·科宁（John Cornyn，得克萨斯州）、比尔·卡西迪（Bill Cassidy，路易斯安那州）和汤姆·蒂利斯（Thom Tillis，北卡罗来纳州）——即将离任。但他们仍在可及范围内。

At least five democratic socialists plan to withhold support for Jeffries as speaker unless they secure agenda commitments

The midterms are over. But even more pitched battles are underway.
These are internal House and Senate leadership elections. House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., won’t pursue the minority leader post.
President Trump doesn’t always see eye-to-eye with Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., but the president hasn’t demanded a change there.
Some incoming House and Senate progressives have expressed their reservations about House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., despite the stunning Democratic wins from Tuesday night.
REPORTER’S NOTEBOOK: A DEMOCRATIC MAJORITY COULD EXPOSE THE LIMITS OF THE PROGRESSIVE AGENDA

Sen.-elect Abdul El-Sayed, D-Mich., has long warned he might not support Schumer for Majority Leader.
“If you’re Chuck Schumer, I’m dangerous,” El-Sayed advised in late June.
The Michigan Democrat ducked the question when asked about supporting Schumer on NBC just after the election.
“I am going to vote for the option that gives me the best chance of getting money out of politics. Putting money in pockets and passing Medicare for all,” said El-Sayed. “I’m interested to see, working with the rest of our caucus, what options we’ve got.”
By Thursday on CNN, El-Sayed was reiterating his support for Sen. Chris Van Hollen, D-Md., who hasn’t announced he’s running for anything.
“I think he’d be an amazing Senate majority leader,” said El-Sayed of Van Hollen.
But even other newcomers weren’t committing to Schumer.
“No, I will not (support Schumer),” Sen.-elect Adam Hamilton, D-Kan., said on Fox before the election. “And I’ve already said I’m not going to vote (for him).”
“I think it’s really clear that both parties are ready for a new generation of leadership,” Sen.-elect Annie Andrews, D-S.C., told colleague Bret Baier.
“I told Sen. Schumer that I’m going to support somebody else,” offered Sen.-elect Troy Jackson, D-Maine.
But Schumer is shrugging that off.
“I’ll be re-elected as majority leader,” Schumer said when asked by reporters on Wednesday. “But the issue is focusing on the American people and what they want.”
Schumer only needs around 29 of his members to support him in a secret caucus vote to become majority leader. That’s a majority of expected Senate Democrats who will serve next year.
At least five members of the Democratic Socialists of America are pledging to withhold their support for Jeffries as the first Black House speaker in U.S. history unless they secure commitments for their agenda. The successful candidate for speaker requires an outright majority of the entire House — 218 votes of 435, if all Representatives-elect cast ballots — when the new Congress convenes Jan. 3.
Keep in mind that House Democrats may score more than 260 seats once all races are settled. So, he can afford dozens of defections.
For House Republicans, Johnson may have signaled his future last month when speaking to colleague Aishah Hasnie.
“If God moves on our hearts and says we should go back to my hometown of Shreveport and start a lawn business, I’ll do that,” said Johnson.

Now it’s far from certain that Johnson will soon channel Groundskeeper Willie from the Simpsons. But perhaps becoming “The Lawnmower Man” is a better option for Johnson than getting mowed down by your own colleagues in a bid for minority leader.
Maybe the grass IS greener back in Louisiana.
House Majority Leader Steve Scalise, R-La., and Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, are running to become the House’s top Republican. House Majority Whip Tom Emmer, R-Minn., wants to return as minority whip. He’s facing a challenge from Rep. August Pfluger, R-Texas.
But here’s the trick. How do these House Republicans win the leadership positions yet maintain their own coalitions? It’s unclear if Republicans think that Jordan and Scalise are right for the party — right now. Both are aligned with President Trump. And some Republicans hope to move past that.
Regardless, Democrats campaigned on two things: the cost of living and holding the Trump administration accountable. But what does the Democrats’ legislative agenda look like?
This isn’t like 1994, when former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, R-Ga., famously crafted the 10-point Contract with America as a pledge to voters as to what Republicans would do if they flipped the House for the first time in 40 years.
CHUCK SCHUMER AFTER SWEEPING DEMOCRATIC MIDTERM VICTORIES: ‘I’LL BE RE-ELECTED AS MAJORITY LEADER’
Democrats have a host of ideas on what they plan to vote on.
“We have to first get in there and really focus on rolling back the cuts from the one big ugly bill,” Sen.-elect Juliana Stratton, D-Ill., promised on CNN.
Also expect votes on renewing expired Obamacare subsidies. Democrats demanded money to offset the costs of rising premiums in exchange for their votes to fund the government. The House finally passed a bill to do that. But the Senate didn’t. The standoff over the Obamacare aid was the key component to last year’s record-breaking, 43-day government shutdown.
“The shutdown sharpened the American people’s view of the distinction between the parties on this crucial issue,” Schumer said.
Democrats are also focused on a key issue from the midterms: the future of AI and data centers. They’re concerned that AI threatens American jobs.
“This revolt against data centers are just the initial tremors of a bigger AI earthquake that is upending American politics,” said Rep. Greg Casar, D-Texas, chairman of the Progressive Caucus. “And we have to be on the right side of this issue.”
There will undoubtedly be votes to end the war in Iran — perhaps by cutting off money for those operations. The House approved three “war powers” resolutions. The Senate green-lighted one. But those machinations did nothing to hem in the president on the war.
Democrats believe that ending the war will reduce gas prices. And that, in turn, will lower the cost of groceries.

Congressional Republicans balked at unwinding tariffs imposed by President Trump. So, there could be votes on that front, too. Democrats believe the election shifted the dynamic of Republicans aligning behind the President in near lockstep.
“This is the time for (Republicans) to show the courage to end this irrational and self-defeating tariff regime that Trump has put in place,” said Rep. Greg Stanton, D-Ariz.
“Most of them realize that the tariffs from a fiscal and economic perspective are completely self-defeating.”
However, some Republicans aren’t ready to abandon the old playbook, clinging to the GOP’s hallmark legislative achievement of this Congress.
“I think the tax cuts and the Big, Beautiful Bill were underappreciated by the electorate,” Rep. Chris Smith, R-N.J., proffered.
President Trump signaled he’ll both work with Democrats and deploy his veto pen. But it’s about the math. When all House races are settled, Democrats could control more than 260 House seats.
That’s astonishing.
They’re guaranteed 54 Senate seats with Mississippi and Alaska still undecided
It’s about the math. Overriding a veto requires two-thirds of both bodies. That’s 290 in the House and 67 in the Senate. If Democrats hover around 260 seats in the House — and Republicans are ready to ditch the president — hitting the 290 mark isn’t out of reach.
If Democrats clock in at 56 seats in the Senate, cobbling together 11 GOP votes to reach 67 might be tougher. Especially with GOP Trump antagonists like former Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., and senators John Cornyn, R-Texas; Bill Cassidy, R-La.; and Thom Tillis, R-N.C., departing. But they’re in range.

It all hinges on what Democrats can pass. And what the president is willing to sign.
