期中選舉將決定國家命運

2026年11月3日，美國人民將再次作出重要選擇

距離美國期中選舉已不到三個月。11月3日，全美選民將走進投票所，選出新一屆國會議員。

這次選舉不只是哪一個政黨多幾席、少幾席的政治競爭。它將決定未來兩年白宮與國會之間的權力關係，也將深刻影響美國經濟、移民、外交、教育、醫療以及社會發展的方向。

目前，共和黨控制白宮以及國會兩院。然而，2026年的政治版圖正在快速變化。

眾議院435個席位全部改選，參議院也有35個席位面臨選舉。共和黨目前以53比47掌握參議院，因此每一個關鍵州的勝負，都可能影響華盛頓未來的權力平衡。(Reuters⁠)

尤其值得注意的是，選民最關心的問題正在回到自己的日常生活：物價、工作、住房、醫療以及家庭的經濟壓力。

近期Reuters/Ipsos民調甚至顯示，民主黨在「誰更有能力處理經濟」這項指標上取得十年來首次優勢。這是一個值得兩黨高度重視的政治訊號。(Reuters⁠)

國會可能重新洗牌

如果民主黨取得眾議院控制權，川普政府在任期後半段推動重大政策時，將面臨一個完全不同的國會環境。

如果參議院也發生政黨輪替，其影響將更加深遠。

從預算、重大法案，到行政部門人事與聯邦司法任命，國會與白宮之間的權力制衡，都可能重新改寫。

目前民主黨被認為在爭奪眾議院方面機會較大，而參議院的道路更加困難。但包括北卡羅來納、俄亥俄、阿拉斯加、緬因、德州、喬治亞、密西根及新罕布夏等州的參議員選舉，都值得密切觀察。(Reuters⁠)

美國需要的是什麼？

但是，我們更應該思考一個超越共和黨與民主黨的問題：

我們希望把一個什麼樣的美國留給下一代？

今天的美國面對國內政治分裂、生活成本壓力，以及複雜的國際局勢。不同族群、不同世代、不同政治立場的人，對國家的方向有不同看法。

民主政治的答案不應該是彼此仇視，而應該回到選票。

我們可以支持不同候選人，可以屬於不同政黨，也可以對政府政策有完全不同的看法。但是，只要我們仍然願意透過選舉表達意見、接受民主制度的結果，美國民主就仍然具有生命力。

華亞裔不能再做沉默的少數

對華裔、亞裔以及其他少數族裔而言，2026年的期中選舉尤其重要。

我們在美國努力工作、創業、納稅、教育下一代，也為城市和國家的繁榮作出貢獻。但是，人口與經濟力量如果不能轉化為公民參與和選票，就很難真正形成政治影響力。

我們不應只在選舉之後評論結果。

我們必須成為決定結果的一部分。

無論支持共和黨、民主黨或其他政治立場，都應該了解候選人的政策、參與公共事務，並在11月3日走進投票所，投下自己神聖的一票。

一票，也能改變國家的方向

美國歷史一次又一次告訴我們，民主制度不是理所當然存在的。

它需要每一代人去維護。

2026年的期中選舉，將決定國會由誰掌握，也將影響川普總統任期後半段的施政方向；更重要的是，它將反映美國人民希望這個國家走向何方。

不要低估自己手中的一票。

因為千千萬萬張選票集合起來，就是人民的聲音；

人民的聲音集合起來，

就是美國未來的方向。

期中選舉將決定國家命運。
11月3日，讓我們用選票說話。

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.
