拜登政府的考验与难题
既然民主党内部存在质疑,那么共和党人的批评指责无疑将更加强烈。早在正式罢工前,不少共和党人便强烈指责拜登政府“无动于衷”。9月25日,德克萨斯州共和党参议员特德·克鲁兹(Ted Cruz)在听证会上表示,“像往常一样,拜登—哈里斯政府没有意识到罢工的可能性,也没有展现出领导力,更不用谈组织各方谈判以达成复工协议”。

罢工影响如何牵动两党选情?
但目前哈里斯仍手握工会群体的优势。哈里斯接棒拜登成为民主党候选人后,也顺势继承了拜登的工会支持遗产,包括美国汽车工人联合会、美国教师联合会、全国教育协会等大型工会。8月爱默生学院的民调显示,哈里斯的宾夕法尼亚州的工会选民中以56.8%对42%的支持率大幅领先特朗普,在密歇根州的工会选民中则同样以30.1%对20%领先。

时间短、规模大的港口罢工潮虽已告一段落,但其后续影响远未消退。分析称,港口停工一天通常需要一周来恢复,而本次三天大罢工意味着需要三周时间来清理掉等待离岸港口处理和清关的积压货物。临时协议的达成也并不意味着万事大吉,ILA与USMX之间的劳资纠纷依然存在,仍可能再度爆发。尽管罢工告一段落,但两党在工人群体上的选战远未停止、依然焦灼。
