长期以来,这位总统一直坚持要求忠诚,但在最近几周,越来越多的共和党候选人和民选官员开始与他议程的核心部分保持距离:从呼吁结束美国对伊朗的战争、缓解高物价,到批评他处理移民等关键议程问题的方式。
The president has long insisted on loyalty, but in recent weeks, a growing number of Republican candidates and elected officials have distanced themselves from core pieces of his agenda: from calling for an end to the U.S. war with Iran and relief from high prices, to criticizing his handling of key agenda issues like immigration.
这对共和党来说正值一个关键时刻。距离投票结束还有不到40天的时间,该党正忙于保住其在国会中的微弱多数席位,参众两院的控制权可能最终取决于少数几个胜负难料的选区。
It comes at a critical moment for the GOP. With less than 40 days until voting ends, the party is scrambling to hold onto a slim majority in Congress, where control of both the Senate and House of Representatives could come down to just a handful of toss-up races.
特朗普在期中选举中的存在感极强。尽管面临历史性的低支持率,他仍多次呼吁选民投票时要像他本人在选票上一样。根据美国国家公共电台(NPR)/公共广播电视公司(PBS News)/马里斯特(Marist)的最新民调,这可能会适得其反,民调显示有45%的相对多数选民以及大多数独立选民将他们的投票视为对特朗普的不信任票。
Trump's presence in the midterms looms large. He has repeatedly told voters to vote like he is on the ballot despite facing historically low approval ratings That could backfire, according to the latest NPR/PBS News/Marist poll which finds that a plurality ofed voters, 45%, and a majority of independents, view their vote as a vote against Trump.
“特朗普的力量历来主要源于他与选民的关系,”共和党战略家、该总统的长期批评者萨拉·朗韦尔(Sarah Longwell)表示,“由于他对党内的某种绝对掌控,共和党人一直很不愿与他作对。”
"Trump's strength has always been primarily devised from his relationship to the voters," said Sarah Longwell, a GOP strategist and longtime critic of the president. "Republicans have always been loath to cross him because of his sort of stronghold on the party."
然而,随着美国民众对总统的好感持续恶化,朗韦尔认为,共和党议员和候选人可能会“在他们真正关心的事项上更放心地与他唱反调”。尽管大多数拉开距离的共和党人都将在今年秋天参选,但这种分歧并未局限于竞选活动中。
However, as Americans continue to sour on the president, Longwell argued that GOP lawmakers and candidates alike may "feel more comfortable bucking him on things that they really care about." While most of the Republicans who have distanced themselves are on the ballot this fall, the splits have not been solely confined to the campaign trail.
周二,犹他州共和党参议员约翰·柯蒂斯(John Curtis)发布了一封信,敦促参议院司法委员会调查总统的儿子唐纳德·特朗普(Donald Trump Jr.)。此前,ProPublica报道称,一位俄罗斯寡头为庆祝特朗普儿子的婚礼提供了大部分资金。柯蒂斯的任期直到2030年才结束。
On Tuesday, Utah Republican Sen. John Curtis, who isn't up for reelection until 2030, released a letter urging the Senate Judiciary Committee to investigate the president's son, Donald Trump Jr., after ProPublica reported that a Russian oligarch financed large portions of a lavish party to celebrate his wedding.
尽管过去那些批评特朗普的人大多已被选下台或退出了共和党,而特朗普仍获得了共和党选民的压倒性支持,但朗威尔(Longwell)认为柯蒂斯的这一举动可能表明,共和党内部对特朗普的领导地位越来越不抱信心。
Though past Trump-critics have largely been voted out of Congress or left the party, and the president still enjoys overwhelming support from Republican voters, Longwell sees Curtis' move as a potential indicator that lawmakers view the president's coalition as increasingly fragile.
“人们开始意识到特朗普已经不再像过去那样拥有强大的影响力,因此开始反抗他的政策。”共和党内部的分歧正在逐渐显现。在一系列民意调查中,美国人始终将生活成本问题视为最关心的问题;许多人表示,这场冲突给他们的生活带来了额外的经济压力。
"You are starting to see the very beginnings of people recognizing that Trump just doesn't have the juice that he once did and starting to push back." Divides within the GOP are on the campaign trail In poll after poll, Americans consistently rank the cost of living as their top concern, and now, many say the conflict has added additional financial strain on their lives.
一些参加竞争激烈的选举的共和党候选人也意识到了这一点。周一,两位共和党参议员候选人——艾奥瓦州的阿什利·欣森(Ashley Hinson)和密歇根州的迈克·罗杰斯(Mike Rogers)公开反对这场战争,并呼吁为受生活成本上涨影响的美国人提供更多援助。欣森在声明中表示:“艾奥瓦州的民众正在承受巨大压力,他们不应该为伊朗战争买单;这场冲突必须立即、成功地结束。”她的态度发生了转变——此前她曾投票反对结束战争的提案。罗杰斯也在视频中指出,物价上涨与这场冲突密切相关:“密歇根州的家庭正在为日常生活的高昂成本而苦恼;我们必须降低物价,伊朗战争必须尽快结束。”
It's a connection that some Republican candidates running in toss-up races this cycle are acknowledging. On Monday, two GOP Senate candidates – Ashley Hinson of Iowa and Mike Rogers of Michigan – came out against the war and lobbied for additional relief for Americans impacted by rising costs. "Iowans are being squeezed and shouldn't have to foot the bill at the pump or the checkout line for the war in Iran," Hinson said in a statement on adding the conflict "needs to be brought to a successful and immediate end." The comments marked a shift for Hinson, who has previously voted against efforts to end the war a video filmed at a supermarket, Rogers also made a point to link rising prices to the conflict.
欣森(Hinson)和罗杰斯(Rogers)在他们的声明中都没有直接提及特朗普,但他们的言论明显表明他们与白宫的立场出现了分歧。毕竟,特朗普一直为自己的对伊朗开战的决定辩护,并淡化这场冲突对美国经济的影响。
"Michigan families are struggling with the price of everyday life. Groceries cost too much. We have to bring prices down. The war with Iran needs to end and end quickly. When it does, energy costs will plummet," he said. Neither Hinson nor Rogers directly mentioned Trump in their statements, but their comments marked a clear break with the White House, given Trump has consistently defended his decision to go to war with Iran and has downplayed the conflict's effect on the economy.
在国会山(Capitol Hill),人们对这场战争的耐心似乎也在逐渐减弱。就在上周,有七名共和党众议员加入了民主党的行列,共同支持一项旨在将美军从伊朗撤出的决议——这一数字比夏季时增加了三人。
There appears to be growing impatience with the war on Capitol Hill too. Just last week, seven House Republican lawmakers — up from four over the summer — joined Democrats in supporting a resolution aiming to remove U.S. forces from Iran.
“长期以来,共和党人无论遇到什么困难都始终支持总统。但那些在民意调查中面临困境的共和党人,必须明确表明自己的立场,”共和党策略师、公共事务公司ROKK Solutions的创始人罗恩·邦让(Ron Bonjean)说道。
"For a long time, Republicans have stuck with the president through thick and thin. But the ones who are facing real trouble at the polls need to differentiate themselves," said Ron Bonjean, a GOP strategist and founder of the public affairs firm ROKK Solutions.
邦让指出,在选举周期的后期选择与特朗普划清界限,恰恰凸显了共和党人所面临的巨大压力。“他们正在竭尽全力让选民明白:他们并非总是百分之百支持特朗普,也不是百分之百同意他的观点。”
By choosing to cross Trump this late in the election cycle, Bonjean said it underscores how high the stakes are for Republicans.
这种独立性对共和党人来说可能至关重要,因为他们的政治命运很可能取决于那些两年前曾转向右翼、但如今已与特朗普疏远的选民群体——尤其是西班牙裔选民。根据《纽约时报》/西耶纳(New York Times/Siena)最近的一项民意调查,在德克萨斯州和佛罗里达州等共和党占优势的州,拥有大量西班牙裔选民的选区中,共和党的支持率也在下降。例如,在佛罗里达州的第27选区,众议员玛丽亚·埃尔维拉·萨拉查(María Elvira Salazar)正在竞选第三个任期,该选区涵盖了迈阿密的部分地区。
"They're doing everything they can to make sure voters understand that they're much more independent than voting with Trump 100% or agreeing with him 100% of the time," he added. That independence could prove crucial for Republicans whose political fate may be determined by some of the same key voting blocs that moved right two years ago and have since distanced from Trump, namely, Hispanic voters. Even in red states like Texas and Florida, House districts with large Hispanic populations have seen drops in Republican support, according to a recent New York Times/Siena poll That includes Florida's 27th district, where Rep. María Elvira Salazar is running to represent parts of Miami for a third term.
上周,她发布了一则广告,直接批评特朗普的移民议程,认为他的执法行动“走得太远了。”
Last week, she released an ad directly criticizing Trump's immigration agenda, arguing his enforcement efforts have "gone too far."
“小心你的顾问们在移民政策上告诉你的事情,”萨拉扎尔说,她的选区被库克政治报告评为倾向共和党。“那些在2024年帮助你进入白宫的西班牙裔选民,如今感到被背叛了。”
"Be careful what your advisers are telling you about immigration policy," said Salazar, whose district is rated by the Cook Political Report as likely Republican. "The same Hispanics who helped you get to the White House in 2024 feel betrayed today."
和许多共和党人一样,萨拉扎尔仍在走钢丝。在发布广告几天后接受哥伦比亚广播公司(CBS News)采访时,她承认与特朗普进行了“非常棒的谈话”,并形容他“非常愿意倾听”。
Like many Republicans, Salazar is still walking a fine line. In an interview with CBS News days after releasing her ad, she acknowledged having a "fantastic conversation," with Trump and described him as "very receptive."
“这里没有攻击,”她补充道。“我只是在预警他、建议他,作为来自南佛罗里达地区的国会议员,他的一些顾问只是没有呈现完整的图景。”美国国家公共电台(NPR)不为报道或采访提供或接受金钱。
"There are no attacks here," she added. "I'm just forewarning him and advising him as a member of Congress from the South Florida area that some of his advisers are just not presenting the whole picture." NPR does not offer or accept money for coverage or interviews.
