The most striking quality to Democrats’ blowout victories in state and local elections this week was how broad they were. From the blue-collar counties of rural Virginia to the working class neighbourhoods of outer borough New York, the direction went uniformly against Donald Trump’s Republicans. Whether the candidate was a Democratic centrist, such as Virginia’s new governor, Abigail Spanberger, a former CIA officer, or a “Democratic socialist”, such as New York’s new mayor, Zohran Mamdani, the results were the same.
民主黨人本周在州和地方選舉中取得壓倒性勝利,其中最引人注目的一點(diǎn)是其勝選范圍之廣。從弗吉尼亞州鄉(xiāng)村地區(qū)的藍(lán)領(lǐng)縣到紐約市周邊的工薪階級(jí)社區(qū),選舉結(jié)果都對(duì)唐納德?特朗普(Donald Trump)所屬的共和黨不利。無論候選人是像弗吉尼亞州新任州長(zhǎng)、前中央情報(bào)局(CIA)官員阿比蓋爾?斯潘伯格(Abigail Spanberger)這樣的民主黨中間派,還是像紐約市新任市長(zhǎng)佐赫蘭?馬姆達(dá)尼(Zohran Mamdani)這樣的“民主社會(huì)主義者”,結(jié)果都一樣。
