随着美以对伊朗战争成为华盛顿外交政策辩论的焦点,两位有2028年总统竞选潜力的民主党州长——加文·纽森(Gavin Newsom)和安迪·贝希尔(Andy Beshear)——近期前往新罕布什尔州,向该州以高度参与度著称的选民介绍自己。两人就这场战争发表看法,均批评并质疑特朗普总统的战略及最终目标。
“如果一位总统要把国家带入战争,让美军和地区美国人的生命面临风险,他必须有真正的正当理由,而不是每五到十个小时就变一次说法。”贝希尔在基恩的一场民主党筹款活动后告诉CBS新闻。
“这位总统似乎在尝试外交之前就先使用武力,他有责任向美国民众解释并向国会说明情况,”贝希尔继续说道,“但他什么都没做。事实上,似乎连成功的定义都没有规划。他从政权更迭谈到战略目标,现在又说要无条件投降,这在他目前的处境下是不现实的。”
贝希尔还表示,他认为国会本应限制特朗普的战争权力。
“他试图无视国会,甚至无视美国民众,”贝希尔说。
他还指出,总统的国情咨文演讲是在“发动此次攻击前三到四天”发表的,而特朗普“甚至没有尊重地告知美国民众他认为伊朗对我们构成的威胁”。
上周,参众两院均未能通过限制特朗普战争权力、阻止其在未获国会支持情况下对伊朗采取进一步军事行动的决议。

对纽森而言,伊朗战争是对以色列总理本杰明·内塔尼亚胡(Benjamin Netanyahu)批评的一部分。
上周二在洛杉矶的一场活动中,纽森将以色列比作“种族隔离国家”。后来在新罕布什尔州,他试图澄清自己的言论。
“我具体指的是《纽约时报》专栏作家汤姆·弗里德曼(Tom Friedman)上周的一篇专栏,他用‘种族隔离’这个词描述内塔尼亚胡(Bibi)的执政方向,尤其是在西岸(West Bank)吞并问题上,”纽森周四晚间在朴茨茅斯的一场新书宣传活动中解释道,“我对他的所作所为、动机以及他最终试图对最高法院做的事情、他为挽救自己政治生涯所做的一切感到非常愤怒。”
弗里德曼写道,在美以对伊朗发动战争的同时,以色列国内,内塔尼亚胡政府正试图吞并西岸,将巴勒斯坦人赶出家园;解雇正在起诉内塔尼亚胡腐败案的总检察长;并阻挠政府成立调查委员会以查明2023年10月7日哈马斯屠杀犹太人事件失败的原因。
CBS新闻已联系以色列驻华盛顿特区大使馆寻求置评。
关于伊朗问题,纽森表示:“我对这场战争非常愤怒,恕我直言,不是因为我对最高领袖的死感到愤怒。恰恰相反,我对他统治的过去37年并不天真。从1979年革命至今已有47年。但我也注意到,有一位总统仍然表达不清,无法向我们说明理由:为什么现在?最终目标是什么?”

纽森新书活动的许多参与者表示,伊朗局势也是他们关心的首要问题。一些人称他们对发生的事情感到“震惊”。
29岁的艾丽西亚·马尔(Alicia Marr)告诉CBS新闻,她参加纽森活动是因为他在社交媒体上对伊朗战争的回应。
“只剩一个名额了,我决定去,这完全是因为他对这场战争的回应——我认为这是不可接受的,我同意他的看法。”马尔说。
虽然像马尔这样的一些选民渴望了解潜在候选人在外交政策上的立场,但纽森活动中的许多人表示,他们最关心的是候选人如何解决国内问题。
“我更专注于让中产阶级重回正轨、对抗寡头统治,对国际问题的投入较少,”同样参加纽森活动的安妮塔·奥尔登(Anita Alden)表示。
“我不会称自己为‘美国优先’,但我们国内有太多问题需要优先解决,”她告诉CBS新闻。
可能也在考虑再次竞选白宫的前副总统卡玛拉·哈里斯(Kamala Harris)上周告诉底特律福克斯2台,她“明确反对”特朗普政府在伊朗的军事行动,并敦促国会采取行动。
“如果我们想阻止唐纳德·特朗普做出这种随意的决定,国会必须行动,而且必须立即行动。美国民众不希望自己的子女卷入这场未经授权的‘选择之战’,”哈里斯说。
特朗普总统抨击了反对其伊朗战略的民主党人,上周称他们是“失败者”,并辩称无论他在伊朗问题上做什么决定,他们都会批评。
“如果我做了,就一无是处;如果我没做,他们又会说你本应该做这个,”总统表示。
Possible 2028 Democratic White House contenders weigh in on Iran with New Hampshire voters
2026-03-09T22:12:00-0400 / CBS News
As the U.S.-Israeli war with Iran overtakes the foreign policy debate in Washington, two Democratic governors with potential 2028 presidential aspirations — Gavin Newsom and Andy Beshear — recently traveled to New Hampshire, introducing themselves to the state’s famously engaged voters. The two weighed in on the war and both criticized and questioned President Trump’s strategy and endgame.
“If a president is going to take a country into war, and risk the lives of American troops and Americans in the region, he has to have a real justification and not one that seems to change every five to 10 hours,” Beshear told CBS News after a Democratic fundraiser in Keene.
“This President seems to use force before ever trying diplomacy, and he has a duty to sell it to the American people and to address Congress with it,” Beshear continued. “He hasn’t done any of that. In fact, it appears there isn’t even a plan for what success looks like. He’s gone from regime change to strategic objectives and now is talking about unconditional surrender, which isn’t realistic where he is.”
Beshear also said he thought that Congress should have reined in Mr. Trump’s war powers.
“He is trying to ignore Congress. He’s trying to even ignore the American people,” Beshear said.
He went on to note that the president’s State of the Union address took place “three — four days before he launched this attack,” and Mr. Trump “didn’t even have the respect to tell the American people the threat that he thought Iran posed to us.”
Last week, both the House and the Senate failed to pass resolutions to limit Mr. Trump’s war powers and stop him from taking further military action against Iran without congressional support.

For Newsom, the war with Iran constitutes part of a broader criticism of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
At an event last Tuesday in Los Angeles, Newsom had compared Israel to an “apartheid state.” Later, in New Hampshire, he sought to clarify his comment.
“I was specifically referring to a Tom Friedman [New York Times] column last week, where Tom used that word of apartheid as it relates to the direction Bibi is going, particularly on the annexation of the West Bank,” Newsom explained during a book tour event Thursday night in Portsmouth. “I’m very angry, with what he is doing and why he’s doing it, what he’s going to ultimately try to do to the Supreme Court there, what he’s trying to do to save his own political career.”
Friedman wrote that at the same time that the U.S. and Israel are prosecuting a war in Iran, within Israel, Netanyahu’s government has undertaken efforts to annex the West Bank, driving Palestinians from their homes; fire the attorney general who is leading the prosecution against Netanyahu for corruption; and block the government’s attempt to establish a commission to examine the failures that led up to the Oct. 7, 2023, massacre of Jews by Hamas.
CBS News has reached out to the Israeli Embassy in Washington, D.C., for comment.
On Iran, Newsom said, “I’m very angry about this war, with all due respect, you know, not because I’m angry the supreme leader is dead. Quite the contrary. I’m not naive about the last 37 years of his reign. Forty-seven years since ’79 — the revolution,” Newsom said. “But I’m also mindful that you have a president who still is inarticulate and incapable of giving us the rationale of why? Why now? What’s the endgame?”

Many attendees at Newsom’s book event said that the situation in Iran is a top-of-mind issue for them, too. Some said they’re “horrified” by what is happening.
29-year-old Alicia Marr told CBS News she decided to attend Newsom’s event because of his social media response to the war with Iran.
“There was one spot left, and I decided to pick it up, and it was due to his response to the war, that it is just unacceptable, and I would agree with that,” Marr said.
While some voters like Marr are eager to hear about where potential candidates stand on foreign policy, many at Newsom’s event said they care most about how potential candidates plan to address domestic issues.
“I’m more focused on getting the middle class back on track and fighting the oligarchy, and I’m less invested in international issues,” said Anita Alden, who also attended Newsom’s event,
“I wouldn’t call myself America first, but we have so many problems at home that are my priority,” she told CBS News.
Former Vice President Kamala Harris, who may also be weighing another White House bid, told Fox 2 Detroit last week that she “unequivocally opposes” the Trump administration’s military action in Iran and urged Congress to take action.
“If we want to stop Donald Trump with this random decision that he has arrived at, then Congress must act, and Congress must act immediately. The American people do not want our sons and daughters to go into this unauthorized war of choice,” Harris said.
Mr. Trump has lashed out against Democrats who have pushed back on his Iran strategy, calling them “losers” last week and arguing that they would criticize any decision he made on Iran.
“If I did it, it’s no good. If I didn’t do it, they would have said the opposite, that you should have done this,” the president said.
