共和党面临数百万“愤怒”选民 - 而且情况只会变得更糟
距离 2026 年中期选举还有不到六个月的时间，唐纳德·特朗普总统在无数民意调查中支持率持续偏低，一些共和党议员向党内成员发出警告：选民很愤怒。 CNN/SSRS 5 月 12 日公布的一项民意调查显示，只有 30% 的美国人认可特朗普对经济的处理方式，而近 70% 的人担心美国明年将陷入衰退。 据 Politico 记者乔登·卡尼 (Jordain Carney) 和梅雷迪思·李·希尔 (Meredith Lee Hill) 报道，密苏里州共和党参议员乔什·霍利 (Josh Hawley) 和其他共和党议员正在敦促其他议员在经济问题上更加积极主动，尤其是通胀问题。卡尼和希尔报告说：“美国人对生活成本上升感到愤怒，本周国会山发生的一系列内部斗争暴露了共和党人为何难以采取任何行动。” “众议院和参议院共和党人在唐纳德·特朗普总统要求的汽油税假期问题上面临着分歧，更不用说已经停滞数月的住房和能源许可法案了……周二，共和党面临的政治挑战的规模进一步凸显，政府对伊朗战争的最新成本估计超过了 290 亿美元，而且残酷的通胀报告显示上个月冲突期间天然气、食品杂货和房价飙升。”丽莎·穆尔科斯基（阿拉斯加州共和党人）告诉《政客》杂志，当特朗普继续推动豪华的白宫舞厅而美国人却在努力时，这种情况“不好”。
来源:Alternet _经济With the 2026 midterms less than six months away and President Donald Trump suffering from persistently low approval ratings in countless polls, some GOP lawmakers have a warning for members of their party: voters are angry. A CNN/SSRS poll released on May 12 found that only 30 percent of Americans approve of Trump's handling of the economy — and almost 70 percent fear the United States will go into a recession in the next year.
According to Politico reporters Jordain Carney and Meredith Lee Hill, Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Missouri) and other GOP lawmakers are urging fellow lawmakers to be more proactive about the economy— especially inflation.
"Americans are furious about the rising cost of living, and a series of internal battles on Capitol Hill this week is laying bare why Republicans are struggling to do anything about it," Carney and Hill report. "House and Senate Republicans are facing divisions over a gas-tax holiday being demanded by President Donald Trump, not to mention housing and energy permitting bills that have stalled for months…. The scale of the political challenges facing Republicans were further underscored Tuesday with the administration's latest cost estimate for the Iran war surpassing $29 billion and a brutal inflation report showing gas, grocery and housing prices surging last month amid the conflict."
Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) told Politico that the look is "not good" when Trump continues to push for a lavish White House ballroom while Americans are struggling with high gas prices.
Hawley told Politico, "I don't know that the Congress is doing a whole lot — that's the real issue. My advice to Congress would be, it might be good for us to do something on cost of living.… It seems like voters are making it very clear that they want some relief."
Trump is calling for a gas tax holiday, but Sens. Rand Paul (R-Kentucky) and Jim Justice (R-Virginia) aren't impressed.
