周二，一名共和党参议员阻止了一项决议，该决议本应谴责唐纳德·特朗普总统近期使用纳税人资金制作的竞选风格广告。
A Republican senator blocked a resolution Tuesday that would have denounced President Donald Trump's recent campaign-style ads funded with taxpayer dollars.
怀俄明州参议员辛西娅·卢米斯对马萨诸塞州参议员玛吉·哈桑提出的无约束力决议提出异议，该决议称参议院认为这些广告“不应由美国政府支付费用”。
Sen. Cynthia Lummis of Wyoming objected to Sen. Maggie Hassan’s nonbinding resolution, which said it was the sense of the Senate that the ads "should not be paid for by the United States government."
由于哈桑（新罕布什尔州民主党人）试图在不进行正式投票的情况下通过该决议，任何一名参议员都可以阻止它。
Because Hassan (D-N.H.) was trying to pass the resolution without a formal vote, any one senator could block it.
哈桑在参议院大厅表示：“这只是告诉总统他错了——这些广告需要被撤下，并且不应由纳税人的钱来支付。”
“It just tells the president that he is wrong — that these ads need to be pulled down and that they should not be paid for with taxpayer dollars,” Hassan said on the floor.
然而，卢米斯反驳称，哈桑对这些广告的担忧“更多地反映了她所在党派的政治立场”，并将特朗普的广告与比尔·克林顿总统的反毒品运动等相提并论。
Lummis however countered that Hassan’s concerns about the ads say “more about her side of the aisle” and compared Trump’s ads to President Bill Clinton’s antidrug campaign, among others.
特朗普使用纳税人资金投放的广告之一与2024年的一则竞选广告几乎完全相同。
One of the ads Trump is running at taxpayer expense is virtually identical to a 2024 campaign ad.
卢米斯说：“当一位民主党总统告诉美国人该怎么做时，这是公共服务；而当这位总统告诉美国人自由值得捍卫时，却成了问题。”
"When a Democratic president tells Americans what to do, it's a public service,” Lummis said. “When this president tells Americans that liberty is worth defending, it's a problem."
