我在華府看世界

在參議院以六十七票贊成基建法案之後，華府政治观察家們認為明年的中期選舉，民主黨有望增加十個參議員席次，主要是選民們相信民主黨主導的基建案可以大力推動經濟建設，增加就業機會。

今天在華府对於因性騷醜聞而下台的紐約州長柯蒙之新聞，仍然餘波蕩漾，柯蒙去年在疫情肆虐時之表現，可能让他成為民主黨總統候選人，但是這埸性侵事件把他跌到谷底，十一名受害人緊叮咬不放，還會吃上民事官司，當前在政壇上有希望競爭大位的可能是民主黨籍之加州州長紐森和共和黨籍的德州州長艾伯特。

華府對於中俄兩軍在寧夏舉行之軍事演習表示高度重視，這次演習是疫情過後在大陸境內之首次，並邀請了俄羅斯參加，這表明兩國之间之信任達到前所未有之高度。

我們打開世界地圖，我們正目睹世界三大軍事強國正在展現肌肉，而病毒還不斷蔓延，許多國家遭受困苦而無法自拔實屬不幸也。

圍繞在華府特區的環市公路，仍然是車水馬龍，非常擁擠，這𥚃的汽車有各種不同牌照，在耀眼的陽光下，顯得五光十色，太陽明天仍然會升起，大家都再等待明天會更好。

From The Nation’s Capital

Looking For A Better Tomorrow

The passage of the infrastructure bill in the U.S. Senate on Tuesday gives both parties ammunition in the midterm election. From the Democrats’ side, they are on the offense in six of the 10 top races trying to flip the red to the blue. The reason is that the bill is a shining example that shows how the Democrats can deliver for the American people, while some Republicans attack it for spending too much money.

People in the nation’s capital still are talking about the resignation of New York’s Governor Andrew Cuomo who resigned yesterday. Now the state’s Lieutenant Governor Katy Hochul, will become governor and inherit a political landscape that Cuomo dominated for more than a decade. In a statement, Cuomo said that given the circumstances, the best way I can help now is if I step aside and let the government get back to governing.

On the other side of the world, Russia and China are holding a large-scale joint military exercise in north central China involving more than 10,000 troops. This is the first time Russian soldiers will use Chinese weapons in a military exercise. When we watch the world map, there are so many military exercises being held around the globe. With the pandemic still attacking the world, many nations still don’t have enough vaccine and yet they are facing other turmoil.

Around the nation’s capital, we are still having huge traffic jams. People are still busy on the streets trying to make a political deal. We really don’t know if we will have peace tomorrow.
