民主党中期选举大胜后在 Denver 集会现分歧：温和派与进步派争论如何对特朗普、如何降物价
美国民主党人在中期选举大胜后，本周在科罗拉多州 Denver 举行胜选后的首次大型集会。据路透社11月14日报道，与会者一致同意要为选民降低生活成本，但在如何实现、该从这场胜利中得出什么教训、以及对总统特朗普应采取多强硬的态度上，分歧明显。
这场会议由倡导年轻领袖、反对左翼激进主义的组织 Majority Democrats 主办，被视为民主党定义自身未来的早期较量，多名被看作2028年总统候选人的人选与党内高层就如何把选举胜利转化为执政议程展开辩论。11月3日的中期选举中，共和党大败；目前预计民主党在众议院至少获得255席、共和党169席，另有12席尚未定局；参议院至少为55比44，阿拉斯加州计票完成后民主党可能再多一席。
加州联邦众议员 Ro Khanna 属于进步派，他敦促民主党不要再追逐政治中间路线，转而拥抱更大胆的纲领，包括全民医保、财富税、每小时25美元的联邦最低工资、大幅削减五角大楼开支，以及废除移民与海关执法局 ICE。宾夕法尼亚州州长 Josh Shapiro 属于温和派，他主张党内应超越意识形态试金石，称选民根本不在乎这类辩论，只在乎民主党能不能拿出成果。
在如何与仍在白宫的特朗普相处上，争论同样尖锐。自1988年以来首位当选联邦参议员的德州民主党人 James Talarico 主张与特朗普合作，称应让其总统任期的最后两年成为美国历史上最有成果的两年，现场掌声并不热烈。马里兰州联邦众议员 Jamie Raskin 预计明年1月出任众议院司法委员会主席，他与奥巴马政府时期的司法部长 Eric Holder 则大体拒绝与特朗普妥协。Raskin 表示将重新主张国会已被让渡的权力，Holder 警告民主党不要退回谨慎与恐惧。
民主党策略师 Elaine Kamarck 对路透社说，这场胜利范围极广，把中间派、南方民主党人与更进步的左翼都卷了进来，出现大辩论在意料之中。亚利桑那州联邦参议员 Ruben Gallego 提醒，2024年曾投票给特朗普的许多拉美裔选民本月转投民主党，但这不是给民主党的情书，只是一笔需要不断偿还的短期贷款，还不上就会失去。（来源：路透社）
After Midterm Sweep, Democrats Split in Denver Over Trump and Cost-Cutting Agenda
Fresh from a landslide in the midterm elections, Democrats met in Denver, Colorado, this week for their first major gathering since the victory, united on delivering relief from high costs but split over how to achieve it, what lessons to draw, and how combative to be toward President Donald Trump, Reuters reported on November 14.
The conference, hosted by Majority Democrats, a group that advocates for younger party leaders and against left-wing activism, offered an early glimpse of the battle to define the party's future, as prospective 2028 presidential candidates and senior leaders debated how to turn electoral success into a governing agenda. Democrats are projected to hold at least 255 seats to Republicans' 169 in the U.S. House, with 12 contests still undecided, and at least 55-44 in the Senate, with a possible additional seat in Alaska once counting is complete.
California Representative Ro Khanna, a progressive, urged Democrats to stop chasing the political center and embrace a bolder agenda including universal healthcare, a wealth tax, a $25 federal minimum wage, deep Pentagon cuts and abolishing U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro, a moderate, argued the party should move beyond ideological litmus tests, saying voters do not care about such debates and care instead about whether Democrats can deliver results.
James Talarico, the first Democrat elected to the U.S. Senate from Texas since 1988, urged Democrats to work with Trump, drawing tepid applause. Representative Jamie Raskin of Maryland, expected to chair the House Judiciary Committee in January, and Eric Holder, attorney general in the Obama administration, largely rejected accommodation with Trump. Democratic strategist Elaine Kamarck told Reuters a big debate was to be expected because the victory was so broad. Arizona Senator Ruben Gallego warned that the support of Hispanic voters who backed Trump in 2024 was not a love letter to the Democratic Party but a short-term loan the party must keep paying, or lose it.
