众议院议长迈克·约翰逊计划周三访问加利福尼亚州，为共和党候选人拉票筹款，该州可能决定特朗普总统任期最后两年美国众议院的控制权。
House Speaker Mike Johnson plans to visit California on Wednesday to stump and fundraise for Republican candidates in a state that could determine control of the U.S. House of Representatives during President Trump's final two years in office.
约翰逊（共和党，路易斯安那州）计划访问中央谷地和内陆帝国，这显示了加利福尼亚州国会选战在11月中期选举中的重要性。
Johnson (R-La.) plans to visit the Central Valley and the Inland Empire, a sign of the importance of California congressional contests in the November midterm election.
无党派库克政治报告的国会预测专家大卫·沃瑟曼表示，约翰逊试图缓解第50号提案的后果，该提案重新划定加利福尼亚州的国会选区，选民于11月批准，以回应特朗普在全国其他地方（特别是德克萨斯州）倾斜选区以利于自己的努力。
David Wasserman, a congressional forecaster for the nonpartisan Cook Political Report, said that Johnson is attempting to mitigate the aftermath of Proposition 50, the redrawing of California’s congressional districts that voters approved in November in response to Trump’s efforts to tilt districts in his favor elsewhere in the nation, notably Texas.
“如果不是共和党努力重划德克萨斯州选区，第50号提案根本不会出台，”沃瑟曼说，他预测民主党将赢得众议院控制权，并表示如果共和党没有挑起重新划分选区的斗争，他们本有更好的机会保住更多席位。
“If it weren’t for Republican efforts to redraw Texas, Proposition 50 wouldn’t have seen the light of day,” said Wasserman, who predicts Democrats will win control of the House, and said that Republicans would have a better chance at holding more seats if they hadn't prompted the redistricting fight.
重新划分国会选区通常每十年在美国人口普查后进行一次，而在加利福尼亚州，选民在2010年决定将制定州选区的权力交给一个独立委员会。
Redrawing congressional districts typically happens once a decade after the U.S. Census, and in California, voters in 2010 decided to hand the power of crafting the state’s districts to an independent commission.
去年特朗普推动德克萨斯州重新划定国会边界以增加共和党在国会的代表性后，加利福尼亚州民主党人通过说服选民重塑选区以利于民主党作出回应，民主党已经主导该州52名国会议员的代表团。“由于白宫的行动，加利福尼亚州共和党濒临灭绝，”沃瑟曼说。
After Trump pushed Texas to redraw its congressional boundaries to increase GOP representation in Congress last year, California Democrats responded by persuading voters to reshape its districts to favor Democrats, who already dominate the state’s 52-member congressional delegation. “California Republicans are on the verge of extinction because of the White House action,” Wasserman said.
在乔奇拉，约翰逊计划举办筹款活动和集会，支持前斯托克顿市长凯文·林肯，后者试图在全国最激烈的国会竞选之一中击败众议员亚当·格雷（民主党，默塞德）。
In Chowchilla, Johnson is scheduled to hold a fundraiser and a rally in support of former Stockton Mayor Kevin Lincoln, who is trying to topple Rep. Adam Gray (D-Merced) in one of the most competitive congressional races in the nation.
预计共和党全国委员会主席乔·格鲁特斯（Joe Gruters）、加州共和党主席科琳·兰金（Corrin Rankin）以及来自德克萨斯州和密歇根州的国会议员将与他一同出席。他还将举办一场动员投票活动，以支持众议员大卫·瓦拉道（David Valadao，共和党籍，汉福德选区）。鉴于其所在中央谷地选区的选民构成，瓦拉道长期以来一直是民主党的目标。
He is expected to be joined by Republican National Committee chairman Joe Gruters, California Republican Party Chair Corrin Rankin and Congress members from Texas and Michigan. He is also holding a get-out-the-vote event in support of Rep. David Valadao (R-Hanford), a longtime Democratic target given the voter makeup of his Central Valley district. Johnson is also holding an evening fundraiser in Riverside for Jim Desmond, a member of the San Diego County Board of Supervisors who is running in the district being vacated by longtime Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Vista).
约翰逊还将在里弗赛德为吉姆·德斯蒙德（Jim Desmond）举办一场晚间筹款活动。德斯蒙德是圣地亚哥县监事会成员，目前正在竞选达雷尔·伊萨（Darrell Issa，共和党籍，维斯塔选区）长期担任议员的空缺席位。伊萨在第50号提案导致其国会选区重划后决定退休。他已背书支持德斯蒙德代表该横跨圣地亚哥县和里弗赛德县的新选区。
Issa decided to retire after his congressional district was redrawn because of Proposition 50. He has endorsed Desmond to represent the new district, which spans San Diego and Riverside counties. The California trip is part of Johnson’s plans to campaign in 22 states in an effort to help Republicans retain control of the House before the Nov. 3 election.
此次加州之行是约翰逊计划在22个州开展竞选活动的一部分，旨在帮助共和党在11月3日大选前保住众议院的控制权。尽管加州呈现“深蓝”倾向——民主党选民人数几乎是共和党的两倍——但该州居民往往是两党政客最大的捐款来源。未来几天将前往加州的民主党人包括俄亥俄州的州长候选人艾米·阿克顿（Amy Acton）、新墨西哥州的黛布·哈兰德（Deb Haaland）和德克萨斯州的吉娜·伊诺霍萨（Gina Hinojosa）。
Despite California's sapphire tilt —ed Democratic voters outnumber Republicans nearly two-to-one — the state's residents are often the largest donors to politicians on both sides of the aisle. Democrats headed here in coming days include gubernatorial candidates Amy Acton of Ohio, Deb Haaland of New Mexico and Gina Hinojosa of Texas. Trump sent followers a fundraising appeal Tuesday focused on Democrats’ ability to win control of Congress, which would upend his agenda during his final two years in office. "I’ve never asked for sympathy.
特朗普周二向支持者发送了一份筹款呼吁，重点关注民主党赢得国会控制权的可能性，这可能会颠覆他在任期最后两年的议程。他在邮件中写道：“我从未寻求过同情。我从未要求这个国家为我感到难过。我从未要求过任何东西。但今天情况变了。距离中期选举不到45天，左派已准备好给我致命一击。”国家共和党国会委员会发言人克里斯蒂安·马丁内斯（Christian Martinez）指出了加州在决定国会控制权方面将发挥的关键作用。
I’ve never asked this country to feel sorry for me. I’ve never asked for anything,” he said in the email. “That changes today. With less than 45 days until midterm elections, the left is ready to put the final nail in my coffin.”Christian Martinez, a spokesman for the National Republican Congressional Committee, pointed to the pivotal role California will play in determining control of Congress.
“加州的众议院选举将决定：像大卫·瓦拉达奥（David Valadao）、詹姆斯·加拉格尔（James Gallagher）和吉姆·德斯蒙德（Jim Desmond）这样的政治人物是否能够继续留在政坛；还是加州的工薪家庭将继续面对那些提高生活成本、放任边境漏洞存在、并削弱社区安全的民主党人的统治，”马丁内斯（Martinez）说道。
“California’s House races will decide whether working families keep fighters like David Valadao, James Gallagher, Kevin Lincoln, and Jim Desmond or get more of the same from Democrats who raised costs, left the border wide open, and made communities less safe,” Martinez said.
“加州民众已经受够了付出更多、等待更长时间，以及生活在越来越不安全的环境中——而那些腐败的萨克拉门托（Sacramento）和华盛顿（Washington）的民主党人却只想保护他们的社会主义议程。”
“Californians are done paying more, waiting longer, and living with less safety so corrupt Sacramento and Washington Democrats can protect their socialist agenda.”
民主党国会竞选委员会（Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee）的发言人安娜·埃尔萨瑟（Anna Elsasser）反驳称，德斯蒙德（Desmond）、林肯（Lincoln）和瓦拉达奥（Valadao）的政策与理念已经给加州的家庭带来了严重伤害，比如高昂的汽油价格和生活成本。“这就是为什么迈克·约翰逊（Mike Johnson）会介入，试图挽救他们那些刚刚起步的竞选活动。选民们不会忘记：是谁为了给亿万富翁和大型企业提供巨额税收减免，而破坏了医疗保健和食品援助制度、推行混乱的贸易政策，还拒绝停止那场导致汽油价格飙升的战争。”
Anna Elsasser, a spokesperson for the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, shot back that the policies and beliefs of Desmond, Lincoln and Valadao have deeply harmed California families, including high gas prices and the cost of living. “That’s why Mike Johnson is swooping in to try and save their fledgling campaigns. Voters won’t forget who sold them out to hand massive tax breaks to billionaires and wealthy corporations by gutting health care and food assistance, championing chaotic tariffs, and refusing to rein in a costly war that has sent gas prices soaring," she said.
她补充道，“加州民众渴望改变，不再希望再忍受迈克·约翰逊以及华盛顿共和党人维持现状的两年。”
"Californians are ready for change, not another two years of Mike Johnson and DC Republicans’ status quo.”
