Topics
Galen Druk：本期节目讨论了对拜登总统的弹劾调查、政府可能面临的停摆以及近期多起劳工罢工事件。弹劾调查在共和党内部也存在争议，距离政府停摆仅剩12天，共和党内部对是否通过临时拨款法案存在分歧。此外，今年的劳工罢工事件数量创下新高，节目中还就公众对罢工事件的看法进行了讨论。 Leah Askarinam：就弹劾调查而言，民调显示公众的观点存在党派分歧，共和党人更倾向于支持调查的合法性，而民主党人和独立人士则持相反意见。此外，公众对弹劾调查和弹劾本身的区分存在难度，共和党议员试图淡化调查的严重性。关于政府停摆，历史数据显示，在政府停摆问题上提出过高要求的政党往往会受到负面影响。就劳工罢工而言，民调显示，美国人对工会的支持率较高，但对工会实际影响的认知存在偏差。 Rachael Bade：麦卡锡启动弹劾调查的主要原因是为了维护其议长职位，以应对党内保守派对其不满。共和党试图将亨特·拜登的不当行为与乔·拜登联系起来，但目前缺乏直接证据。关于政府停摆，麦卡锡为了保住议长职位，可能会被迫同意政府停摆。共和党内部对弹劾调查和政府停摆问题存在分歧，但最终很可能走向弹劾和政府停摆。

Shownotes Transcript

Welcome aboard the Acela, listeners. Today on the FiveThirtyEight Politics podcast, we are taking a break from the campaign trail and heading to Washington, D.C., where there’s quite a lot going on.

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy announced last week that Republicans are opening an impeachment inquiry into President Biden. There are also just 12 days until a possible government shutdown. And some Republicans are threatening McCarthy's speakership.

Politics reporter Leah Askarinam and POLITICO Playbook co-author and ABC News contributor Rachael Bade join Galen Druke to discuss. They also play a round of "Quiz of the Union," where they try to put this year's higher-than-usual number of strikes in the context of public opinion.
