As both Democrats and Republicans navigate divisions over what the future of their parties should look like, voters are chiming in with what they want to see as midterm primaries ramp up.

隨著民主黨和共和黨都在努力處理黨內對於未來發展方向的分歧，選民們也紛紛表達他們在中期初選升溫之際的期望。

Earlier this month, we saw some of the divisions in the Democratic Party playing out in North Carolina, where incumbent Congresswoman Valerie Fuchsi held off a challenge from Durham County Commissioner Nita Alam.

本月稍早，我們在北卡羅來納州見證了民主黨內部分歧的展現，現任國會議員 Valerie Fuchsi 擊退了杜倫郡委員 Nita Alam 的挑戰。

North Carolina Congresswoman Valerie Fuchsia joins me now, fresh off her primary win.

北卡羅來納州國會議員 Valerie Fuchsia 現在 joins me，剛贏得初選。

So you effectively fended off a challenger who was trying to pit herself as the more progressive candidate.

所以您有效地擊退了一位試圖將自己塑造成更進步派候選人的挑戰者。

You are, of course, a member of the Progressive Caucus.

What should the Democratic Party take away from your victory?

民主黨可以從您的勝利中學到什麼？

What does it say about the state of progressivism?

這說明瞭進步主義的現況如何？

I am a member of the Progressive Caucus and was endorsed by the Progressive Caucus.

我是進步黨團的一員，也獲得了進步黨團的背書。

I think what this race showed is that at least the citizens, the voters of the 4th district wants a member who delivers and is not interested in replacing experience for a new face, someone who's certainly capable.

我認為這場競選顯示，至少第四選區的公民、選民想要一位能有所作為的委員，而不是想用一張新面孔取代有經驗、有能力的現任者。

But there's no reason to replace a performing member who's getting results.

但沒有理由要取代一位表現良好、有成果的現任委員。

Well, in her concession statement, Commissioner Alam said, you have a responsibility to earn the support of the 48% of Democrats who didn't vote for you.

嗯，在她的敗選聲明中，杜倫郡委員 Alam 表示，您有責任贏得那 48% 未投票給您的民主黨員的支持。

What is your response and how do you plan to do that, Congresswoman?

您對此有什麼回應？又打算如何做到，國會議員？

So my response to that is that that's what I do every day.

所以，我的回應是，這正是我每天都在做的事。

I represent the members, the citizens, the residents, the voters of the 4th district, whether these are people who voted for me or not.

我代表第四選區的選民、公民、居民、投票者，無論這些人是否投票給我。

It's not just the progressives, it's the moderates, it's the Republicans.

不只是進步派，還有溫和派，還有共和黨員。

All of the citizens of the 4th district can count on me for advocating for their needs, advocating for quality of life that they deserve and for the values that I believe the 4th district appreciates and I share.

第四選區的所有公民都可以指望我為他們的需要發聲，為他們應得的生活品質發聲，以及為我相信第四選區欣賞且我所共享的價值觀發聲。

Well, let me ask you about some of our latest polling, Congressmen.

好的，國會議員，我想問您一些關於我們最新的民調。

Our latest NBC News poll shows voters are signaling a preference for a Democratic controlled Congress in 2026.

我們最新的 NBC 新聞民調顯示，選民們在 2026 年傾向於支持由民主黨掌控國會。

But when it comes to voters feelings about the Democratic Party overall, the only thing more unpopular in our poll, Congresswoman, was Iran.

但談到選民對整個民主黨的感受時，我們民調中唯一比這更不受歡迎的，國會議員，是伊朗。

Does the party have a brand problem in how do you address it?

這個黨在品牌上有問題嗎？您要如何解決？

Well, I think the party, I think all of us are opposed to this war.

嗯，我認為這個黨，我認為我們都反對這場戰爭。

I think that what we know is that the majority of Americans don't agree with a regime change war for oil in Iran.

我認為我們知道的是，大多數美國人不同意為了石油而在伊朗發動政權更迭戰爭。

Our communities are tired of endless wars.

我們的社區已經厭倦了無休止的戰爭。

Our communities want Congress to focus on the issues of the day and that is affordability, accountability and defending democracy.

我們的社區希望國會專注於當前的議題，也就是可負擔性、問責制以及捍衛民主。

And that's what our party should concentrate on.

Should we take back the majority in 2027?

我們要在 2027 年贏回多數席次嗎？

Do you think that Democrats, though, do have a brand problem given the low party approval ratings that you're getting across the board?

你認為民主黨員，鑒於黨的整體支持率不高，真的有品牌問題嗎？

我認為數字顯示了這一點，但是

I think, you know, polls are point in time and I think as we see what this administration is doing, what Republicans are allowing the administration to carry forward, people will put their trust in change and that change will come from the Democratic Party, particularly when the U.S.

我認為，你知道，民調只是時間點的反映，我認為隨著我們看到這個政府在做什麼，共和黨員允許政府推動什麼，人們會把信任寄託在改變上，而這種改變將來自民主黨，特別是當美國

house is taken by Democrats for the majority.

眾議院由民主黨贏得多數席次時。

Let me ask you, because this all comes at a time when Democrats, Republicans are having conversations about generational change within the party.

讓我問你，因為這一切都發生在民主黨和共和黨員正在就黨內世代交替進行對話的時候。

Incumbents such as yourself, Congressman Betty Thompson, have held off and fended off younger challengers this cycle.

像你這樣的現任國會議員，眾議員 Betty Thompson，在這個週期裡已經擋下了年輕的挑戰者。

Congressman Clyburn just announced he he is going to run for his 18th term.

Clyburn 眾議員剛剛宣佈他將競選第 18 任期。

What do you say to those in the party who argue that, look, some of these more senior leaders should be making space for new voices?

你會怎麼跟黨內那些認為，你看，一些比較資深的領導人應該要為新聲音騰出空間的人說呢？

There is some argument about people who stay in Congress or any other legislative body for long periods of time.

有些人認為，在國會或其他任何立法機構待了很長一段時間的人。

Let's just be clear that I've only served three years in Congress and in the middle of my second term, I don't think age is a factor for me.

我想說清楚的是，我只在國會服務了三年，而且我才剛進入第二任期，我不認為年齡對我來說是個問題。

It is the experience that I've gained over having served at every level of government.

而是我在各級政府服務所累積的經驗。

It is the relationships that I have built not just within my own party but across the aisle to make sure that I am delivering results to the voters of the 4th district.

是我建立的人脈，不只在我的黨內，也跨越黨派，確保我能為第四選區的選民帶來成果。

I feel the same for Representative Clyburn and others who still have the fire and the ability to serve, the ability to serve and the understanding of what is going on in this country and how we bring results to our respective districts.

我對 Clyburn 眾議員和其他那些仍然保有服務的熱情和能力、以及對國家局勢的理解，並且知道如何為各自選區帶來成果的人，也有同樣的感受。

Congressman, I have to end by asking you about Vice President J.D. vance.

眾議員，我最後想請教您關於副總統 J.D. Vance 的事。

He was in your home state today talking about the economy.

The vice president, the president argue yes, gas prices are going up right now because of the war with Iran, but

副總統和總統都認為，沒錯，因為與伊朗的戰爭，油價現在正在上漲，但

They say this short term pain is worth the long term gain of waging this war that ultimately they would argue will make the world safer.

他們說，這種短期的痛苦是值得的，因為這場戰爭最終會讓世界更安全。

What say you to that argument and do you think Democrats should be focused on that counterpoint or affordability?

您對這個說法有什麼看法？您認為民主黨人應該關注這個反駁點，還是可負擔性？

I think Democrats should be focused on affordability.

我認為民主黨人應該關注可負擔性。

It's not just about what is happening in Iran as it relates to gas.

這不只是關於伊朗發生的事情對油價的影響。

But prices have been going up steadily during the course of this administration.

而是在本屆政府執政期間，物價一直在穩步上漲。

This president campaigned on lowering costs from day one.

這位總統從第一天起就競選承諾要降低成本。

We're seeing and have seen higher prices in groceries and, and housing and education, you name it.

我們看到、也一直看到食品雜貨、住房和教育等價格不斷上漲，什麼都漲。

A lot of this was done from terrorists even before we were engaged in war.

很多這都是在我們捲入戰爭之前，由恐怖份子造成的。

So our focus is on affordability, making sure that Americans are able to live.

所以我們的重點是可負擔性，確保美國人民能夠生活。

America is too expensive and this is not just about having quality of life for those who are wealthy or well connected or well off, but

美國太貴了，這不只是為了富裕、人脈廣或生活優渥的人的生活品質，

it is for every American and it starts with making America more affordable.

而是為了每個美國人，而且要從讓美國更負擔得起開始。

All right, Congresswoman Valerie Fuchsi will continue to watch your general election race very closely.

好的，國會議員 Valerie Fuchsi 將繼續密切關注您的普選競賽。
