特朗普还再次呼吁支持者们想象他自己也是本次选举的候选人。周四，唐纳德·特朗普总统在俄克拉荷马州对选民发表讲话时提醒共和党人，在2026年中期选举来临之际，德克萨斯州与密歇根州正是该党需要“格外关注”的州。
Trump also again urged supporters to imagine that he himself was on the ballot. President Donald Trump warned Republicans that Texas and Michigan are among the states the party is “worried about” ahead of the 2026 midterm elections, while speaking to voters in Oklahoma on Thursday.
刚刚结束在德克萨斯州的活动后，特朗普对这个一贯支持共和党的州的民众表示，他对俄克拉荷马州的情况并不担心，但共和党人必须努力动员其他各州的选民参与投票。
Fresh off an event in Texas, Trump told a crowd in the reliably Republican state that he was not concerned about Oklahoma but that Republicans needed to turn out voters in other states. "I feel a little foolish, you know.
特朗普说道：“我觉得自己有点傻，一直在喊‘去投票吧，快去投票吧’。虽然最终他们肯定会获胜，但大家还是得去投票才行。’
I’m saying, 'go out and vote, go out and vote.' You’re gonna, they’re gonna win in the last half, but still go out and vote," Trump said. "But we’re not worried about them.
接着他又说：‘我们并不担心俄克拉荷马州，我们担心的是密歇根州、德克萨斯州以及其他几个州。’
We’re worried about Michigan. We’re worried about Texas. We’re worried about a few states."
随后特朗普强调，共和党必须大力宣传本次中期选举的重要性，据他所说，该党对35至40个选区的选情都颇为担忧。
Trump later said Republicans need to get the word out about the midterms, citing what he described as 35 to 40 races that the party is concerned about.
特朗普继续说道：‘我们必须广泛宣传，因为必须拿下这35个选区，甚至可以说是40个选区。虽然全国有数百个选区要竞选，但关键就在于这40个。’
"But we have to get the word out because we have to win in those 35. Maybe you could even say 40 places, 40 races," Trump said. "You have many, you have hundreds of races, but it’s all about 40."
他还补充道：‘所以大家要想象我本人也是候选人，齐心协力确保中期选举取得压倒性胜利。’
"So you have to pretend I’m on the ticket and turn out for a midterm victory that’s really too big to rig," Trump said.
为了进一步凝聚共和党力量，特朗普抨击民主党在应对通货膨胀与移民问题上表现不力，还反复提及在拜登执政期间进入美国的移民数量及其背景情况。
Trump sought to rally Republicans by attacking Democrats over inflation and immigration, repeating claims about the number and backgrounds of migrants who entered the country during the Biden administration.
特朗普多次声称有数百万移民从各国的监狱或精神病院逃出并进入美国，但这些说法均遭到质疑，也没有任何证据能证明外国政府真的清空了本国监狱或医疗机构并将这些人遣送到美国。
Trump has repeatedly made claims about millions of migrants entering the U.S. from prisons and mental institutions, but those claims have been disputed and are not supported by evidence showing that foreign governments emptied prisons or institutions and sent those people to the United States.
最后特朗普称，他的政府治理国家成效显著，但也批评共和党人的‘公关工作’做得不到位。本报道由美国广播公司新闻频道的乔恩·霍沃斯协助完成。
The president also said his administration was running the country well but criticized Republicans for what he called poor "public relations." ABC News' Jon Haworth contributed to this report.
