西弗吉尼亚州共和党参议员吉姆·贾斯廷斯（Jim Justice）本周在接受Semafor采访时表示，他“可能不得不”等到中期选举结束后，再决定是否竞选他曾经担任的州长职位——并挑战现任州长帕特里克·莫里西（Patrick Morrisey）。
Sen. Jim Justice, R-W. Va., “may have to” wait until after the midterms to decide on whether to run for his old job as governor — and challenge incumbent Gov. Patrick Morrisey, he told Semafor in an interview this week.
这位共和党参议员表示，他不喜欢“让人家干等”，原本希望能在几周内宣布决定，但他补充说，参议院“事务繁多”，让他无暇深思这一选择。
The Republican senator said he doesn’t “like jerking people around” and wanted to announce within a couple weeks, but added there’s “too much stuff going on” in the Senate for him to reflect on the choice.
他说：“我真的很想花点时间认真思考：我是否真的想做这件事？”尽管如此，贾斯廷斯表示他计划“很快”做出决定。
“I really wanted to put some time in to really think: Do you really want to do this?” he said.
大多数共和党参议员认为他会挑战莫里西，夺回旧职；贾斯廷斯也毫不讳言，他认为自己会比继任者做得更好。
Nonetheless, Justice said he plans to make his decision “really soon.”Most Republican senators think he will challenge Morrisey for his old job; Justice has made no secret that he thinks he’d do a better job than his successor.
他说：“我爱西弗吉尼亚的人民，我不确定我们正走在正确的道路上。”
“I love the people in West Virginia, and I don’t know that we’re going the right way,” he said.
