乔什·温格罗夫和凯特·沙利文报道，美国总统唐纳德·特朗普在阿拉巴马州一场集会上宣称，他的经济议程帮助该州吸引了投资和就业。他是在面向这个长期坚定支持共和党的州进行中期选举竞选宣传。
By Josh Wingrove and Kate Sullivan President Donald Trump declared at a rally in Alabama that his economic agenda had helped attract investment and jobs in a midterm campaign pitch to a state that has long been staunchly Republican.
特朗普赞扬了梅赛德斯-奔驰集团股份公司、美国钢铁公司、礼来公司和阿赛洛米塔尔宣布在该州投资计划，并称这些计划证明他的经济政策正在为选民带来成果。他还称赞共和党参议员汤米·图伯维尔在竞选州长期间帮助争取资金，以“振兴美国造船业”。造船业是阿拉巴马州的一项支柱产业。
Trump hailed plans companies including Mercedes-Benz Group AG, US Steel, Eli Lilly & Co. and ArcelorMittal have announced to invest in the state, heralding it as proof that his economic policies were delivering for voters. He praised Republican Senator Tommy Tuberville, who is running for governor, with helping secure funds to help “revitalize American shipbuilding,” a key Alabama industry.
“我几乎把所有东西都投在阿拉巴马州了，不是吗？”特朗普在莫比尔市南阿拉巴马大学校园内的一座体育馆举行的集会上说。“从来没有人像我这样为一个州做过这么多事。”特朗普列举的许多举措无法在11月中期选举前完成，但近几周来，他急于宣传重大制造业项目，试图在选民对其经济政策以及处理伊朗战争的方式深感不满之际争取选民。
“I put practically everything in Alabama, wouldn’t you say?”Trump said at the rally, held at an arena on the campus of the University of South Alabama in Mobile. “Nobody has ever done for a state what I’ve done for Alabama.”Many of the initiatives Trump cited will not be completed in time for November’s midterm elections, but in recent weeks he has been eager to tout major manufacturing projects in a bid to sway voters amid deep discontent over his economic policies and handling of the war with Iran.
民调显示，特朗普在处理经济问题方面的支持率处于或接近历史最低水平，而经济曾经是他的政治优势。
Polls put Trump at or near historically low levels on his handling of the economy, a one-time strength for the president.
此前：中期选举选情转淡，特朗普仍坚持赴红州助选。距离选举日还有一个月，特朗普已发动竞选攻势，试图为国会共和党人扭转局势。该党面临失去众议院控制权的巨大风险，越来越多的参议院选举也陷入胶着，其中包括一些长期被视为共和党据点的州。
Earlier: Trump Sticks to Red-State Travel as His Midterm Mood Darkens With a month until Election Day, Trump has begun a campaign blitz to turn the tide for congressional Republicans. The party is at heavy risk of losing the US House and a growing number of Senate races are in play, including in states long regarded as GOP strongholds.
特朗普周五还为图伯维尔和竞选参议员职位、意在接替图伯维尔的巴里·摩尔助选。图伯维尔在与民主党对手、前参议员道格·琼斯的竞选中占据优势。总统还敦促选民投票支持共和党人瑞特·马奎斯，他正在一场备受关注、竞争激烈的众议院选举中参选。
Trump on Friday stumped for Tuberville as well as Barry Moore, who is running to replace Tuberville in the Senate. Tuberville is the favorite in his race against his Democratic opponent, former Senator Doug Jones. The president also urged voters to turn out for Republican Rhett Marques, who is in a closely watched, competitive House race.
周四，特朗普先后造访了德克萨斯州和俄克拉荷马州。与阿拉巴马州一样，这些州在特朗普参与的三次总统选举中均支持他。此次行程凸显出共和党人正日益处于守势，而一些在摇摆州或胜负难分的选区参选的候选人也试图与这位不受欢迎的总统保持距离。
Trump on Thursday made stops in Texas and Oklahoma, which like Alabama, are states he has carried in all three presidential runs. That itinerary has highlighted how Republicans are increasingly on the defensive and how some candidates in swing states or close districts have sought to distance themselves from an unpopular president.
特朗普选择前往位于墨西哥湾沿岸、毗邻佛罗里达州边界的莫比尔市，这一选择也反映出共和党对邻州的担忧——在那里，州长及参议院选举的结果已不再对共和党有利。在佛罗里达州，现任共和党人阿什利·穆迪正与民主党挑战者安吉·尼克松展开激烈的参议院竞选；另一位共和党人、众议员拜伦·唐纳兹则试图成为该州首位黑人州长。
The choice of Mobile, along the Gulf Coast and near the Florida border, also hinted to GOP worries about the neighboring state, where gubernatorial and Senate contests are no longer safely in the GOP column. In Florida, Republican incumbent Ashley Moody faces a close Senate race with Democratic challenger Angie Nixon, while another Republican, US Representative Byron Donalds, is seeking to become the first Black governor of the state.
尽管共和党在其他州面临诸多挑战，特朗普仍表示下周六将重返阿拉巴马州——此次是去观看在塔斯卡卢萨举行的乔治亚大学与阿拉巴马大学的大学橄榄球赛。“那可是顶级的大学橄榄球赛事啊，”特朗普说道。
Despite the challenges Republicans face in other states, Trump said he would return to Alabama next Saturday — this time to attend the Georgia-Alabama college football game to be played in Tuscaloosa. “That’s called big time college football,” Trump said.
