华盛顿——唐纳德·特朗普总统和副总统杰德·万斯都将于周四展开竞选活动，但他们将前往共和党势力较强的地区，以提振党内选民的热情，为下个月的中期选举做准备。
MICHELLE L. PRICE WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance will both hit the campaign trail on Thursday, but they will be heading to heavily Republican areas to shore up lagging enthusiasm in their party ahead of next month’s midterm elections .
特朗普周四将前往德克萨斯州和俄克拉荷马州，这标志着他为期32天的竞选活动的开始。他表示，这场竞选活动将持续到11月3日。
Trump’s travel on Thursday to Texas and Oklahoma kicks off what the president said will be a 32-day campaign blitz leading up to Nov. 3.
与此同时，万斯将在佛罗里达州开展竞选活动。共和党的高层官员们正在这些地区展开竞选活动；这些地区原本被认为是共和党候选人稳操胜券的“温床”，但现在竞争变得异常激烈。
His visit comes as Vance at the same time will be stumping in Florida, putting the Republican Party’s highest-ranking officials in areas where GOP candidates once expected to have glide paths to victory but are now facing tougher races.
随着总统不断无视人们对高选举成本和汽油价格上涨的担忧，以及他在伊朗的军事行动持续引发争议，共和党人对自己在选举中的胜算越来越悲观。
特朗普认为，共和党面临的困境只是由于公众对其执政表现的误解所致。
Republicans have expressed growing pessimism about their chances in the election, which will determine control of Congress, as the president has repeatedly dismissed concerns about high costs and gas prices and his unpopular war in Iran drags on.
“我们的信息没有传达到位，”他在周三对记者说，“我们真的没有把我们的立场和计划告诉选民。”因此，他决定亲自走遍全国各地，试图说服共和党选民投票给他。
According to Trump, his party’s headwinds are merely a matter of poor public relations about a job he says is well done. “We’re not getting the word out,” he told reporters on Wednesday. “I mean, we’re just not getting it.”
“我之所以要外出竞选，是因为没有人真正去为我们的候选人发声、去宣传他们的优势，”特朗普说道。
That’s why, he said, he will be traveling all over and trying to persuade GOP voters to pretend his name is on the ballot.
共和党全国委员会发言人德莱妮·博马尔在一份声明中表示：“总统正在全国各地开展竞选活动，激励我们的支持者，并为共和党候选人提供支持，尤其是在那些关键选区。我们拥有足够的资源来支持这些候选人；共和党正全力以赴，以保护和扩大我们的多数席位。”
“I’m going out because nobody’s selling it,” Trump said. Delanie Bomar, a spokesperson for the Republican National Committee, said in a statement that “the president is barnstorming the country, energizing our base, and supercharging Republican candidates in battleground districts and beyond. We have the resources to spend, and Republicans are full steam ahead to protect and expand our majorities.”
民主党全国委员会则指出：“随着中期选举的临近，特朗普和万斯正拼命试图动员他们的支持者，因为共和党面临着失败的危险。”民主党全国委员会副通讯主任肯德尔·威特默表示：“唐纳德·特朗普和JD·万斯与伊朗挑起了这场代价高昂的战争，导致美国经济陷入困境、物价进一步上涨；现在，在中期选举的最后阶段，他们正拼命恳求选民‘再给他们一次机会’。”
The Democratic National Committee said, “Trump and Vance are desperately trying to rally their base as the midterm elections approach and Republicans face defeat.”“Donald Trump and JD Vance started a deadly and costly war with Iran that sent the economy spiraling and pushed prices even higher, and now — in the final stretch to the midterms — they’re desperately pleading with voters to ’give (them) another chance,’” said DNC Deputy Communications Director Kendall Witmer.
在俄克拉荷马州，特朗普将与共和党候选人迈克·马泽伊一起开展竞选活动。马泽伊正在与民主党州众议院少数党领袖辛迪·芒森争夺州长职位。
In Oklahoma, Trump will campaign with Republican Mike Mazzei, who is running against Democratic state House Minority Leader Cyndi Munson in the race for governor.
民主党州长协会发言人凯文·多诺霍表示，特朗普的竞选集会表明共和党人“已经陷入了全面的恐慌状态”。他说：“这场竞选竞争日益激烈；共和党全国领导层对马泽伊的威胁确实感到担忧。”
Democratic Governors Association spokesperson Kevin Donohoe said Trump’s campaign rally shows that Republicans “are in full-on panic mode.”“This race continues to get more competitive — and national Republicans are right to be worried about Mazzei,” he said.
此次竞选活动将在俄克拉荷马州的乔克托族部落举行，这使得特朗普成为少数几位在任期间访问过原住民部落的美国总统之一。
The event will be held on the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma , putting him in the company of just a handful of U.S. presidents who have visited tribal nations while in office.
在俄克拉荷马州的竞选活动之前，特朗普还将参观德克萨斯州的一家卡车制造工厂。共和党方面正在投入大量资金，以支持州检察长肯·帕克斯顿的参议院竞选。帕克斯顿面临着来自民主党州众议员詹姆斯·塔拉里科的激烈竞争。
Before his evening Oklahoma stop, Trump will tour a truck manufacturing facility in Texas, where Republicans are spending heavily to try to bolster state Attorney General Ken Paxton in a Senate race. Paxton faces a very competitive challenge from Democratic state Rep. James Talarico .
据两位熟悉帕克斯顿竞选计划的官员透露（他们要求匿名），帕克斯顿原本计划与特朗普一起参加周四在丹顿举行的白宫官方活动。
Paxton was planning to be with Trump at the official White House event Thursday in Denton, two campaign officials familiar with Paxton’s plans said on condition of anonymity to discuss the candidate’s schedule before it was made public.
在未来几天和几周内，特朗普将在政治竞争更为激烈的地区开展竞选活动。据一位熟悉共和党竞选策略的人士透露（该人士要求匿名，因为未被授权公开发言），共和党官员不会安排特朗普前往那些他们认为他的出席可能会对当地候选人产生负面影响的地区。
Trump will be campaigning in more politically competitive areas in the days and weeks ahead as he embarks on his travel blitz, but Republican officials will not send him to places where they think his presence could drag down their candidates, according to a person familiar with the party’s strategy who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly.
这位人士表示，特朗普对俄克拉荷马州的访问，以及周五对阿拉巴马州的访问，其实都是为了同时实现两个目标。
Trump’s Oklahoma visit, and likewise one on Friday to Alabama, are aimed at hitting two targets with one stop, the person said.
共和党官员指出，俄克拉荷马州的杜兰特市靠近达拉斯和沃思堡的媒体中心，这意味着特朗普的演讲内容也会传达到德克萨斯州的选民那里；预计他在阿拉巴马州演讲时也会提到帕克斯顿（Paxton）这位共和党候选人。
Republican officials have noted that Durant is close to the Dallas and Fort Worth media market, meaning Trump’s message will also be carried to Texas voters, and he’s expected to talk about Paxton even while addressing voters in the neighboring state.
特朗普周五在阿拉巴马州莫比尔市的访问，不仅旨在支持正在竞选阿拉巴马州州长的汤米·塔伯维尔（Tommy Tuberville）参议员，同时也旨在为佛罗里达州共和党众议员拜伦·唐纳兹（Byron Donalds）争取更多支持。唐纳兹正在与曾属于共和党但现已转投民主党的戴维·乔利（David Jolly）竞争佛罗里达州州长职位。
His Friday stop in Mobile, Alabama, is aimed at boosting not only Sen. Tommy Tuberville as he runs for Alabama governor, but shoring up support in Florida’s adjacent panhandle for Republican Rep. Byron Donalds . Donalds is running for Florida governor against David Jolly , the Republican-turned-independent who is now running as a Democrat.
在佛罗里达州这个共和党势力较强的地区，唐纳兹的竞选活动正面临一些挑战；当地选民普遍对生活成本问题表示担忧，数据中心建设也成为了一个重要的议题。
Donalds’ campaign in heavily-GOP Florida comes as Republicans there have faced some turbulence and voter concerns about affordability and data centers have become central issues.
在特朗普访问俄克拉荷马州和德克萨斯州期间，万斯（Vance）将于周四在佛罗里达州中部与唐纳兹一起开展竞选活动。
While Trump is in Oklahoma and Texas, Vance will stump with Donalds in central Florida on Thursday. Vance’s visit to Lakeland comes a day after the vice president campaigned in Texas .
万斯访问莱克兰（Lakeland）的前一天，这位副总统刚刚在德克萨斯州进行了竞选活动；他在德克萨斯州哈林根（Harlingen）的演讲中承认了美国物价高涨所引发的普遍不满情绪，但将责任推到了特朗普和共和党身上。
He rallied with Republican candidate Eric Flores, who is in a tight U.S. House race in south Texas. Vance, speaking in Harlingen, Texas on Wednesday, acknowledged broader discontentment over the high prices in the U.S., but shifted the blame away from Trump and Republicans.
“我知道有些人对进展的速度感到沮丧，”他说，“但我们每一天都在为你们而战，让自己摆脱乔·拜登留给我们的困境。”特朗普还将于周六在俄亥俄州范代利亚、周一在内布拉斯加州大岛市进行竞选活动。
“I know that there are people out there who are frustrated by the pace of progress,” he said, but ”we have spent every single day fighting for you, diggin’ ourselves out of the hole that Joe Biden left us in.”Trump will also campaign on Saturday in Vandalia, Ohio; and Monday in Grand Island, Nebraska.
本周在国会山的一次会议上，白宫幕僚长苏西·怀尔斯私下向共和党参议员透露，特朗普将在11月3日的中期选举前进行近乎每天的高强度竞选活动。
In a meeting on Capitol Hill this week, White House chief of staff Susie Wiles described privately to GOP senators that Trump will have a near-daily sprint of campaigning ahead of the Nov. 3 midterms.
怀尔斯向共和党人展示了总统即将到来的行程安排，与会者形容该安排广泛且几乎天天有行程，遍布全国各地。
Wiles showed Republicans the president’s upcoming travel schedule, which attendees described as extensive and almost every day, all across the country.
西弗吉尼亚州共和党参议员雪莱·摩尔·卡皮托表示，白宫官员正在“承认逆风”，但“他们有策略，我们也有策略”，其中包括总统的竞选团队将继续投入的资金。
West Virginia Republican Sen. Shelley Moore Capito said White House officials are “acknowledging the headwinds” but that “they have a strategy, and we have a strategy,” including money that the president’s operation will continue to deploy.
卡皮托还为白宫派遣特朗普前往传统保守派地区的计划进行了辩护，理由是他不仅能在到访地，还能在全国其他地方激发共和党基本盘，因为特朗普拥有如此广泛的影响力。
Capito also defended the White House’s plan to send Trump to traditionally conservative territory, arguing that he can motivate the Republican base not just in where he travels but elsewhere in the country because Trump has such a broad reach.
“比任何人都能让更多他的选民——他们将成为我们的选民——走出去投票，”卡皮托说。
“He can get more of his voters out — that are going to be our voters — than anybody else,” Capito said.
