华盛顿——参议院共和党竞选主席周三表示，在“MAGA Inc.”承诺向关键摇摆州投入更多数百万资金以维持共和党对参议院的控制之际，唐纳德·特朗普总统的团队已向参议员们保证，在迈向中期选举时，“资金不会成为我们的问题”。
WASHINGTON — The Senate Republican campaign chairman said Wednesday that President Donald Trump’s team has assured senators “money will not be our problem” heading into the midterm elections , as MAGA Inc. promises to dump millions more into battleground races to keep GOP control of the Senate.
南卡罗来纳州参议员蒂姆·斯科特正将他的党派与总统联系得更加紧密，而特朗普则在四处奔走为选民集会，因为共和党正努力提振一直以来低迷的热情。
Sen. Tim Scott of South Carolina is linking his party even closer to the president, as Trump hits the trail to rally voters as Republicans try to boost what has been sluggish enthusiasm.
尽管全国各地存在大量胜负难料的参议院竞选，但他表示，他仍然相信共和党能够保持甚至扩大其在参议院的多数席位。“现金为王，”斯科特对记者说。“特朗普总统和他的议程在选票上，”他说。“知道他们将全力投资于这些竞选，这非常有帮助。”
Despite the prevalence of toss-up Senate races across the map, he said he remained confident Republicans can keep or even expand their Senate majority. “Cash is king,” Scott told reporters. “President Trump and his agenda are on the ballot,” he said. “Knowing that they are going to invest completely in these races is incredibly helpful.”
由于选民们对主要由伊朗战争引发的高昂天然气和杂货价格感到痛苦，共和党人眼看着他们在今年11月对国会的控制面临越来越大的风险。
Republicans have watched their control of Congress come under increasing risk this November as voters reel from high gas and grocery prices largely stemming from the Iran war.
虽然拥有微弱多数席位的众议院一直悬念重重，但参议院的选情地图现在正在扩大，曾经安全的共和党阵地也受到了挑战。
While the House, with its narrow majority of a few seats, has always been up for grabs, the Senate map is now expanding as once safe Republican-held strongholds are being contested.
斯科特承认，在堪萨斯州，新秀亚当·汉密尔顿正在挑战共和党参议员罗杰·马歇尔，这场竞选比预期的要激烈。
Scott acknowledged that in Kansas, where newcomer Adam Hamilton is challenging GOP Sen. Roger Marshall, the race is closer than expected.
他还表示，如果他们希望在佐治亚州实现翻盘，共和党人还有“更多的工作要做”，在该州，共和党人迈克·柯林斯正艰难地试图击败民主党参议员琼·奥索夫。
He also said Republicans have “more work to do” if they hope to flip Georgia, where Republican Mike Collins is struggling to unseat Democratic Sen. Jon Ossoff.
但斯科特表示，在周一晚上与白宫办公厅主任苏西·维尔斯的闭门会议上，她向共和党参议员保证，他们将拥有进入选举最后冲刺阶段所需的资源。“她说钱不会是我们的问题，”他说。
But Scott said that during a private meeting Monday evening with White House chief of staff Susie Wiles, she assured GOP senators they would have the resources needed heading into the final stretch of the election. “She said money would not be our problem,” he said.
“MAGA Inc.”及相关组织已经在参议院竞选中投入了数亿美元，使共和党在资金上占了对民主党的优势。
