期中选举将决定国家命运

2026年11月3日，美国人民将再次作出重要选择

距离美国期中选举已不到三个月。11月3日，全美选民将走进投票所，选出新一届国会议员。

这次选举不只是哪一个政党多几席、少几席的政治竞争。它将决定未来两年白宫与国会之间的权力关係，也将深刻影响美国经济、移民、外交、教育、医疗以及社会发展的方向。

目前，共和党控制白宫以及国会两院。然而，2026年的政治版图正在快速变化。

眾议院435个席位全部改选，参议院也有35个席位面临选举。共和党目前以53比47掌握参议院，因此每一个关键州的胜负，都可能影响华盛顿未来的权力平衡。(Reuters⁠)

尤其值得注意的是，选民最关心的问题正在回到自己的日常生活：物价、工作、住房、医疗以及家庭的经济压力。

近期Reuters/Ipsos民调甚至显示，民主党在「谁更有能力处理经济」这项指标上取得十年来首次优势。这是一个值得两党高度重视的政治讯号。(Reuters⁠)

国会可能重新洗牌

如果民主党取得眾议院控制权，川普政府在任期后半段推动重大政策时，将面临一个完全不同的国会环境。

如果参议院也发生政党轮替，其影响将更加深远。

从预算、重大法案，到行政部门人事与联邦司法任命，国会与白宫之间的权力制衡，都可能重新改写。

目前民主党被认為在争夺眾议院方面机会较大，而参议院的道路更加困难。但包括北卡罗来纳、俄亥俄、阿拉斯加、缅因、德州、乔治亚、密西根及新罕布夏等州的参议员选举，都值得密切观察。(Reuters⁠)

美国需要的是什麼？

但是，我们更应该思考一个超越共和党与民主党的问题：

我们希望把一个什麼样的美国留给下一代？

今天的美国面对国内政治分裂、生活成本压力，以及复杂的国际局势。不同族群、不同世代、不同政治立场的人，对国家的方向有不同看法。

民主政治的答案不应该是彼此仇视，而应该回到选票。

我们可以支持不同候选人，可以属於不同政党，也可以对政府政策有完全不同的看法。但是，只要我们仍然愿意透过选举表达意见、接受民主制度的结果，美国民主就仍然具有生命力。

华亚裔不能再做沉默的少数

对华裔、亚裔以及其他少数族裔而言，2026年的期中选举尤其重要。

我们在美国努力工作、创业、纳税、教育下一代，也為城市和国家的繁荣作出贡献。但是，人口与经济力量如果不能转化為公民参与和选票，就很难真正形成政治影响力。

我们不应只在选举之后评论结果。

我们必须成為决定结果的一部分。

无论支持共和党、民主党或其他政治立场，都应该了解候选人的政策、参与公共事务，并在11月3日走进投票所，投下自己神圣的一票。

一票，也能改变国家的方向

美国歷史一次又一次告诉我们，民主制度不是理所当然存在的。

它需要每一代人去维护。

2026年的期中选举，将决定国会由谁掌握，也将影响川普总统任期后半段的施政方向；更重要的是，它将反映美国人民希望这个国家走向何方。

不要低估自己手中的一票。

因為千千万万张选票集合起来，就是人民的声音；

人民的声音集合起来，

就是美国未来的方向。

期中选举将决定国家命运。
11月3日，让我们用选票说话。

THE MIDTERM ELECTIONS WILL SHAPE THE NATION’S DESTINY

November 3, 2026: America Will Make a Critical Choice

Saturday, August 8, 2026

America is now less than three months away from one of the most consequential midterm elections in recent history.

On November 3, millions of Americans will go to the polls to elect a new Congress. This election is about much more than which political party gains or loses a few seats. It will determine the balance of power in Washington and influence the direction of our nation for the next two years and beyond.

The American people are facing serious questions about the economy, inflation and the cost of living, immigration, healthcare, education, public safety, foreign policy, and America’s role in an increasingly uncertain world.

At the same time, control of Congress is at stake.

Congress Could Change Hands

Every seat in the U.S. House of Representatives is on the ballot this November, along with dozens of Senate races.

If control of the House changes hands, President Donald Trump will face a dramatically different political environment during the second half of his term.

If the Senate also changes hands, the consequences could be even greater.

The balance of power would affect legislation, federal spending, presidential appointments, judicial confirmations, and many of the major policy decisions that will shape America’s future.

But beyond Republicans and Democrats, there is a much larger question before us:

What kind of America do we want to leave to the next generation?

America Is at a Crossroads

Our country is deeply divided.

Americans disagree about immigration, taxes, trade, foreign policy, the role of government, and many other issues. Political disagreements have increasingly become personal and emotional.

But democracy does not require us to agree.

It requires us to participate.

We can support different candidates. We can belong to different political parties. We can strongly disagree about government policies.

But we must continue to believe that our differences should ultimately be settled through democratic institutions and the ballot box.

That principle has helped sustain America for nearly 250 years.

Asian Americans Must Make Our Voices Heard

For Chinese Americans, Asian Americans, immigrants, and other minority communities, the 2026 election carries special significance.

For generations, our communities have worked hard, built businesses, created jobs, paid taxes, educated our children, and contributed to the prosperity of this nation.

But economic success alone does not guarantee political influence.

Population must become participation.
Participation must become representation.
And representation begins with the vote.

We cannot remain a silent minority.

Whether we support Republicans, Democrats, independents, or candidates from another political tradition, we should study the issues, understand the candidates, participate in our communities, and exercise our constitutional right to vote.

Our message should not be about telling people whom to support.

Our message should simply be:

Please participate. Please vote.

One Vote Can Help Change the Direction of America

Democracy is never guaranteed.

Every generation must protect it.

The November 3 midterm elections will determine who controls Congress. They will influence the second half of President Trump’s term and help determine America’s direction on the economy, immigration, education, healthcare, international affairs, and many other critical issues.

Never underestimate the power of your vote.

One ballot may seem small.

But millions of individual ballots become the voice of the American people.

And the voice of the American people determines the direction of our nation.

The 2026 midterm elections will help shape America’s destiny.

On November 3, let us make our voices heard.
Let us participate.
Let us vote.
