至少有17名国会议员呼吁总统结束战争。在中期选举不足40天之际,几名参加竞争激烈的州级和联邦竞选的共和党人加入了党内日益高涨的呼声,要求结束伊朗战争。
At least 17 members of Congress have called on the president to end the war. Several Republicans running in competitive statewide and federal races are joining growing calls in their party to end the war in Iran with less than 40 days until the midterm elections.
截至周五,17名竞选连任的现任共和党国会议员或竞选参议员或州长职位的非现任候选人呼吁结束战争,他们要么通过国会投票限制唐纳德·特朗普总统的战争权力,要么在竞选活动或网上发表声明。
As of Friday, 17 incumbent congressional Republicans running for re-election or non-incumbent candidates for Senate or governor's seats have called for an end to the war, either through votes in Congress to rein in President Donald Trump’s war powers or in statements on the campaign trail or online.
这发生之际,自2月底冲突爆发以来,柴油价格飙升了近60%,选民对总统感到失望——上周进行的一项CNN民调发现,67%的美国人不赞成特朗普的工作表现,73%不赞成他处理伊朗局势的方式。73%的美国人表示,与伊朗的战争对他们的财务状况产生了负面影响,其中包括59%的共和党人。
This comes as diesel fuel prices have jumped by nearly 60% since the conflict began at the end of February and as voters sour on the president -- a CNN poll conducted last week found 67% of Americans disapproved of Trump's job performance and 73% disapproved of how he was handling the situation in Iran. And 73% of Americans said that the war with Iran was having a negative effect on their financial situation, including 59% of Republicans.
自伊朗战争开始以来,国会已就要求特朗普获得国会批准以继续在伊朗的敌对行动的决议进行了投票。在投票表决的20项决议中,一些共和党人已五次与民主党人一起投票通过决议,尽管这些决议并不强制总统采取任何行动。
Since the war in Iran started, Congress has voted on resolutions calling on Trump to get Congress' approval to continue hostilities in Iran. Of the 20 resolutions voted on, some Republicans have voted with Democrats five times to pass resolutions, though they don't force the president to do anything.
在战争问题上与特朗普决裂的共和党候选人包括六名竞选连任的现任国会议员和五名参加州级竞选的共和党人。这五人中有四人目前在国会任职,并投票反对战争权力决议。
The GOP candidates who have broken with Trump on the war include six incumbent members of Congress running for reelection and five Republicans running in statewide races. Four of those five are currently in Congress and have voted against the war powers resolutions.
密歇根州共和党参议员候选人、前众议员迈克·罗杰斯周一发布了一则广告,称:“与伊朗的战争需要结束,而且要迅速结束。一旦结束,能源成本将暴跌。”此后他表示,任何结束战争的协议都必须确保伊朗无法制造核武器,这是特朗普针对这场冲突的既定目标。
The GOP candidates who have broken with Trump on the war include six incumbent members of Congress running for reelection and five Republicans running in statewide races. Four of those five are currently in Congress and have voted against the war powers resolutions. Michigan Republican Senate candidate Mike Rogers, a former congressman, cut an ad on Monday saying, "The war with Iran needs to end and end quickly. When it does, energy costs will plummet." He has since said that any deal to end the war must ensure Iran can't build a nuclear weapon, Trump's stated goal for the conflict.
在威斯康星州,共和党州长提名人、联邦众议员汤姆·蒂芙尼周三对ABC附属台WISN表示,“是时候翻篇了。”
Michigan Republican Senate candidate Mike Rogers, a former congressman, cut an ad on Monday saying, "The war with Iran needs to end and end quickly. When it does, energy costs will plummet." He has since said that any deal to end the war must ensure Iran can't build a nuclear weapon, Trump's stated goal for the conflict.
蒂芙尼说:“总统对此拥有最终决定权,但我只是认为我们应该退出伊朗——是时候翻篇了。我们已经削弱了他们的核设施,削弱了他们的军力。他们大部分舰船都沉入海底。是时候回家了,处理好美国国内的事务。”蒂芙尼的对手、民主党人、密尔沃基县行政长官大卫·克劳利本周发布了一则广告,抨击这位众议员在战争问题上与总统步调一致地投票。
In Wisconsin, Rep. Tom Tiffany, the GOP nominee for governor, told ABC affiliate WISN on Wednesday, "it's time to move on." "The president has final say in regards to this, but I just believe that we should be exiting Iran -- that it's time to move on," Tiffany said. "We've degraded their nuclear facilities. We degraded their military. Most of their ships are in the bottom of the ocean. Time to come home, take care of business here in America." Tiffany's opponent, Democrat Milwaukee County Executive David Crowley, put out an ad this week that slammed the congressman for voting in lockstep with the president on the war.
克劳利在新闻稿中说:“他有过五次机会结束这场推高我们物价的战争,但五次都选择了特朗普。汤姆·蒂芙尼只忠于特朗普——不忠于我们,不忠于威斯康星州。”
"Five times he has had the chance to end the war that’s driving our prices up, and five times he’s chosen Trump instead. Tom Tiffany’s only loyal to Trump -- not us, Wisconsin,” Crowley said in a press release.

爱荷华州共和党联邦众议员阿什利·欣森正在参加一场激烈的参议院竞选,她曾投票反对战争权力决议,但在周一改变了立场,呼吁“立即结束”战争。
Iowa Republican Rep. Ashley Hinson, who's running in a tight Senate race, has voted against war powers resolutions, but reversed her position on Monday, calling for an "immediate end" to the war.
“爱荷华州民众正遭受挤压,不应由他们在加油站或收银台为伊朗战争买单,”她写道。“我们需要利用一切可用手段,缓解高物价带来的压力。……这些降低成本的行动刻不容缓,战争必须成功且立即结束。”
"Iowans are being squeezed and shouldn’t have to foot the bill at the pump or the checkout line for the war in Iran," she wrote. "We need to use every option at our disposal to provide some relief from high prices. … These actions to lower costs are needed ASAP, and the war needs to be brought to a successful and immediate end.”
一天后,她坚持要求众议院返回华盛顿特区应对不断上涨的燃油价格,承诺将“与任何人合作以兑现承诺”。
"Iowans are being squeezed and shouldn’t have to foot the bill at the pump or the checkout line for the war in Iran," she wrote. "We need to use every option at our disposal to provide some relief from high prices. … These actions to lower costs are needed ASAP, and the war needs to be brought to a successful and immediate end.”
“众议院应立即返回华盛顿特区,致力于暂停柴油出口、暂征汽油税、全面释放E15和生物柴油,并制定针对卡车司机和农民的柴油救济计划,”欣森在众议院议长迈克·约翰逊上周取消剩余两周会期、让众议院提前休会,并表示“是时候让我们的议员们回到各自选区,向美国民众陈述理由,解释我们所取得的所有伟大成就”之后写道。
A day later, she insisted the House return to Washington, D.C. to address rising fuel prices, promising to "work with anyone to deliver." “The House should return to DC immediately to work to pause diesel exports, suspend the gas tax, fully unleash E15 and biodiesel, and work on a diesel relief program for truckers and farmers," Hinson wrote on House Speaker Mike Johnson last week canceled the two remaining weeks of its session and let the House leave early, saying, "It's time for our members to go home to their districts and make their case to the American people to go and explain all the great things we've done."
欣森的民主党对手、州议员乔什·图雷克在X平台上回应道:“发推文很容易,但当你有机会投票结束这场战争时,你选择了不投票。你投了七次赞成票以继续战争,包括就在上周。”
“The House should return to DC immediately to work to pause diesel exports, suspend the gas tax, fully unleash E15 and biodiesel, and work on a diesel relief program for truckers and farmers," Hinson wrote on House Speaker Mike Johnson last week canceled the two remaining weeks of its session and let the House leave early, saying, "It's time for our members to go home to their districts and make their case to the American people to go and explain all the great things we've done."
众议院少数党领袖哈基姆·杰弗里斯周三在新闻发布会上批评最近与特朗普在战争问题上决裂的共和党人,称其中几人“濒临败选”。“过去六个多月,这些共和党阿谀奉承者在哪里?”他问道。
Hinson's Democratic opponent Josh Turek, a state lawmaker, responded on X, "It's easy to send a tweet but when you had the chance to vote to end this war, you chose not to. You voted seven times to continue it, including just last week."
爱荷华州共和党众议员玛丽安内特·米勒-米克斯曾反对战争权力决议,但上周投了赞成票,她在声明中表示:“美国人不想要另一场永无止境的战争。”
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries criticized the Republicans who have recently broken with Trump on the war during a news conference Wednesday, saying that several of them are "on the verge of losing." "Where were these Republican sycophants over the last six-plus months?" he said.
她引用自己的军旅生涯,并承认伊朗战争导致汽油价格上涨,称爱荷华州民众“在加油站付出了太多”。而爱荷华州共和党众议员扎克·努恩曾反对之前的战争权力决议,但在最近的投票中与总统决裂。"爱荷华州已经付出了惨痛的代价,包括两名驻科威特美军士兵遭伊朗无人机袭击身亡。" 努恩最近还要求对柴油价格采取行动,周一在X上写道:"我的计划:优先向美国人出售美国能源。通过我主导的爱荷华州生物燃料法案 = 将汽油价格降低50美分。追究大石油公司哄抬物价的责任," 努恩写道。
Iowa Republican Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks, who had opposed the war powers resolution but voted in favor of it last week, said in a statement, "Americans do not want another forever war." She cited her military service and acknowledged the rising gas prices driven by the war in Iran, saying that Iowans are "paying too much at the pump." And Iowa Republican Rep. Zach Nunn voted against previous war powers resolutions but broke with the president on the most recent vote. "Iowa has already paid a devastating price, including two service members killed by an Iranian drone in Kuwait." Nunn also recently demanded action on diesel prices, writing on X on Monday, "My plan: Sell American energy to Americans first. Pass my Iowa-led biofuel bill = bring down gas 50 cents. Hold Big Oil accountable for gouging," Nunn wrote.
