Galen Druk: 本期节目讨论了2023年超级星期二发生的重大政治事件,包括特朗普在曼哈顿被传讯,对34项伪造商业记录的指控表示不认罪;威斯康星州的选举中,自由派候选人Janet Protasiewicz以两位数的优势赢得州最高法院选举,改变了法院的意识形态倾向;芝加哥市长选举中,进步派候选人Brandon Johnson险胜,击败了主张严厉打击犯罪的对手。 Amelia Thompson-DeVoe: 特朗普被起诉的指控主要围绕迈克尔·科恩向斯托米·丹尼尔斯支付封口费,以及特朗普随后通过伪造律师费报销款项的行为。检察官试图证明特朗普及其同伙参与了一个长期计划,通过伪造商业记录来掩盖对他不利的新闻。伪造商业记录本身是轻罪,检方需要证明其是为了掩盖其他犯罪行为,例如与选举相关的犯罪或逃税。检方可能提出另一种法律理论,即使与选举相关的指控被驳回,也能维持对特朗普的重罪指控。特朗普的律师将试图通过各种方式驳回指控,避免案件进入审判阶段。 Nathaniel Rakich: 民调显示,美国人对特朗普被起诉的意见存在分歧,但共和党初选中特朗普的支持率有所上升。即使认为特朗普应该被起诉,许多人仍然认为起诉具有政治动机,并且不认为他会因此入狱。在威斯康星州最高法院选举中,普罗塔塞维奇的胜利是令人印象深刻的,因为威斯康星州是一个摇摆州。选举结果反映了2022年中期选举的两种趋势:堕胎问题激励民主党人投票,候选人的素质对共和党人造成负面影响。在芝加哥市长选举中,约翰逊的获胜出乎意料,这可能归因于他获得了进步派选民和少数族裔选民的支持。选举结果表明,即使犯罪问题受到广泛关注,选民也可能更倾向于重新思考处理犯罪的方式,而非简单地回归传统的严厉打击犯罪模式。

Shownotes Transcript

Tuesday was quite the day in American politics. Former President Donald Trump was arraigned in Manhattan and pleaded not guilty to 34 charges of falsifying business records in the first degree. It was also Election Day in one of the country’s purplest states and its third-largest city. In Wisconsin, voters chose the liberal state Supreme Court candidate Janet Protasiewicz by a double-digit margin, flipping the ideological orientation of the court. And in Chicago, voters chose progressive Brandon Johnson as their next mayor in a very close race, ultimately rejecting the tough-on-crime alternative. The crew covers it all in this installment of the FiveThirtyEight Politics podcast.
