参议院多数党领袖约翰·图恩和共和党鞭约翰·巴拉索正准备在十月踏上竞选征途。
Senate Majority Leader John Thune and GOP Whip John Barrasso are preparing to hit the campaign trail in October.
图恩告诉《政治报》，他计划从本周的北卡罗来纳州开始，走访多个州。
Thune is planning to swing through a number of states starting with North Carolina this week, he told POLITICO.
他表示，随着共和党在日益艰难的政治环境中努力保住参议院控制权，他还将前往南卡罗来纳州、佛罗里达州、两次前往爱荷华州、内布拉斯加州、堪萨斯州、明尼苏达州和密歇根州等地。谈到竞选行程时，他说：“有很多地方要去。”
He said he’ll also go to South Carolina, Florida, twice to Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas, Minnesota and Michigan, among others, as Republicans fight to keep control of the Senate in an increasingly difficult political environment for their party. “There’s a whole bunch,” he said about the campaign stops.
与此同时，根据首先向《政治报》透露的计划，巴拉索下月将前往俄亥俄州、蒙大拿州、堪萨斯州和肯塔基州。
Barrasso, meanwhile, will travel to Ohio, Montana, Kansas and Kentucky next month, according to plans first shared with POLITICO.
巴拉索此前已在爱荷华州、得克萨斯州和南卡罗来纳州进行过竞选活动。
Barrasso has already been on the campaign trail in Iowa, Texas and South Carolina.
俄亥俄州和密歇根州是可能决定明年一月哪个政党控制参议院的摇摆选区，参议员乔恩·赫斯特正试图抵挡前参议员谢罗德·布朗（民主党）的反扑。
Ohio and Michigan are battleground races that could determine which party controls the chamber come January as Sen. Jon Husted tries to fend off a come-back bid by former Sen. Sherrod Brown (D).
共和党人还认为他们有可能翻转即将卸任的民主党参议员加里·彼得斯在密歇根州的席位。
Republicans also believe they could flip outgoing Democratic Sen. Gary Peters’ seat in Michigan.
此外，在爱荷华州和堪萨斯州，共和党面临比预期更激烈的竞争，这私下里让一些为坦率发言而要求匿名的共和党参议员感到焦虑。图恩和巴拉索并非唯一进行竞选活动的共和党领导层成员。
And in Iowa and Kansas, Republicans are facing closer-than-expected races that are privately giving some GOP senators, granted anonymity to speak candidly, heartburn. Thune and Barrasso aren’t the only members of GOP leadership making campaign stops.
在众议院，据一位熟悉其计划的消息人士透露，众议院议长迈克·约翰逊周日在纽约，周一在新泽西州，这是他横跨44个选区、覆盖22个州的22州竞选冲刺的一部分。
In the House, Speaker Mike Johnson was in New York on Sunday and New Jersey on Monday as part of his 22-state campaign sprint across 44 districts, according to a person familiar with his plans.
据另一位熟悉其计划的消息人士透露，正在11个州为16名现任议员和候选人进行竞选的多数党领袖史蒂夫·斯卡利斯正计划进行东北部巡回。从周三开始，斯卡利斯将前往纽约州和新罕布什尔州。
Majority Leader Steve Scalise, who is in the middle of campaigning across 11 states for 16 incumbents and candidates, is heading on a Northeast swing, according to a different person familiar with his plans. Starting Wednesday, Scalise will head to New York and New Hampshire.
