Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, the Republican candidate for Senate from the Lone Star State, privately told a group of conservative donors and lobbyists that GOP polling numbers suffered as a result of the party’s much-hyped midterm convention in Dallas earlier this month.
据《纽约时报》获取的录音显示，帕克斯顿上周在聚会上说：“老实说，当我们举行那次大会时，我们的数据确实下降了。所有人的数据都下降了。目前来看，确实不太好。”帕克斯顿正与州众议员詹姆斯·塔拉里科（James Talarico）展开激烈角逐，后者正试图成为自1988年以来首位当选得州参议员的民主党人。根据RealClearPolitics的民调平均值，塔拉里科目前以2.9个百分点的优势领先帕克斯顿。
“To be honest with you, the numbers — when we did that convention, it dropped our numbers. Everybody’s numbers dropped,” Paxton told the gathering last week, according to audio obtained by the New York Times. “Right now, yeah, not good.”Paxton is locked in a tight battle with State Rep. James Talarico, who is trying to be the first Democrat elected to the Senate from Texas since 1988. Talarico currently leads Paxton by 2.9 percentage points according to the RealClearPolitics polling average.
这位候选人对大会影响其民调的评估与特朗普本人的说法截然不同。特朗普9月13日在爱尔兰对记者表示：“我认为我们举行了一次如此成功的大会，这确实帮助了肯·帕克斯顿。他是其中的重要组成部分。听着，我的意思是，他是一位伟大的总检察长。肯·帕克斯顿过去是，现在依然是一位伟大的总检察长，我认为这意义重大……我听说那次大会对肯·帕克斯顿帮助很大。”
The candidate’s assessment of the convention’s effect on his polling differed from that of Trump himself, who told reporters in Ireland Sept. 13: “I think the fact that we had such a successful convention really helped Ken Paxton. He was a big part of it. And look, I mean, he was a great attorney general. Ken Paxton was a great attorney general, and continues to be, and I think that counts for a lot … I hear that the convention helped Ken Paxton a lot.”
帕克斯顿的竞选顾问尼克·马杜克斯（Nick Maddux）称这篇报道是“《纽约时报》又一次为了编造不存在的故事而进行的操纵性胡言乱语。我们上周的最新民调显示肯·帕克斯顿领先三个百分点，任何严肃的民调专家都会告诉你，我们的数据自9月初以来已经有所改善。肯·帕克斯顿将会赢得这场竞选，他期待着与特朗普总统并肩作战，以强劲的势头结束竞选，包括特朗普本周访问得州期间。”
Paxton campaign adviser Nick Maddux described the story as “more manipulated nonsense from The New York Times to create a story that doesn’t exist. Our latest poll from the last week has Ken Paxton leading by three points, and every serious pollster will tell you that our numbers have improved since early September. Ken Paxton is going to win this race, and he looks forward to closing strong alongside President Trump including when he comes to Texas this week.”
特朗普计划于周四在得克萨斯州丹顿的彼得比尔特（Peterbilt Motors）工厂露面，这是他为推动共和党候选人当选并保持对参众两院控制权而进行的最后冲刺的一部分。
Trump is scheduled to appear at a Peterbil Motors facility in Denton, Texas Thursday, part of his closing push to get Republican candidates elected and keep control of the House and Senate.
现年63岁的帕克斯顿在今年早些时候一场激烈的共和党初选决选中，击败了现任参议员约翰·科宁（得克萨斯州共和党人）。尽管帕克斯顿的个人和政治履历颇具争议——包括他的妻子、州参议员安吉拉·帕克斯顿曾以“符合圣经的理由”提出离婚（她后来恳求选民让该席位继续留在共和党手中），以及他本人于2023年5月因腐败指控被得克萨斯州议会弹劾（最终被判无罪）——但他还是成功胜出。
Paxton, 63, unseated incumbent Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas) in a bitter GOP primary runoff earlier this year despite a checkered personal and political history that includes his wife, state Sen. Angela Paxton, filing for divorce on “biblical grounds” (she’s since implored voters to keep the seat in Republican hands) and the AG being impeached by the Texas legislature in May 2023 on corruption charges (he was ultimately acquitted).
据《华盛顿邮报》周末报道，隶属于参议院多数党领袖约翰·图恩（南达科他州共和党人）的参议院领导基金已为帕克斯顿投入了1亿美元，并计划持续注资直至选举日。
Over the weekend, The Post reported that the Senate Leadership Fund, affiliated with Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD), has put $100 million behind Paxton, with plans to keep spending until Election Day.
一位消息人士称：“这是一种‘红色之墙’策略。”他补充道：“我们只会在认为能产生影响的地方投入资金。”
“It’s a red wall kind of thing,” a source said, adding: “We only spend money where we think we can make a difference.”
