美国总统唐纳德·特朗普在第二任期的大部分时间里都在猛烈抨击邮寄投票，但突然间，他却呼吁共和党人以任何方式投票——包括邮寄投票。
President Donald Trump has spent much of his second term waging an assault on mail-in voting But suddenly, he’s calling on Republicans to vote any way they can — including by mail.
“如果你所在的州有提前投票，不要等待，”特朗普周六在Truth Social上发帖称。“出去投票。提前投票。邮寄投票，或者在11月3日选举日亲自投票，这样我们就能在一场大到无法舞弊的中期选举胜利中击败激进左翼的‘民主党人’。” 他的这一行动号召距离中期选举还有30天，共和党面临失去国会控制权的风险，并在传统红州面临有竞争力的挑战者，因为一些共和党候选人正在与特朗普保持距离周六晚上，在为俄亥俄州共和党参议员乔恩·休斯特德和共和党州长候选人维韦克·拉马斯瓦米举行的集会上，特朗普没有明确告诉人群去邮寄投票。但他敦促他们以前所未有的方式出来投票——包括提前投票——而这正是他以前批评过的。
“If your state has early voting, do not wait,” Trump said in a posted to Truth Social on Saturday. “Go out and vote. Vote early. Vote by mail or vote in person on Election Day, November 3rd, so we can defeat the radical left Dumocrats in a midterm victory that is too big to rig.”His call to action comes 30 days before the midterm elections, with Republicans at risk of losing control of Congress and facing competitive challengers in traditionally red territory as some GOP candidates distance themselves from Trump On Saturday evening, at a rally for Ohio Republican Sen. Jon Husted and GOP gubernatorial candidate Vivek Ramaswamy, Trump stopped short of telling the crowd to vote by mail. But he urged them to turn out like never before — including early — which he has previously criticized.
“提前投票从10月6日开始，到11月1日周日结束，”他说。“出去……，”他停顿了一下，“就在11月3日选举日投票。我认为我们会有一个大惊喜，因为他们不知道发生了什么。”
“Early voting begins October 6th and ends on Sunday, November 1st,” he said. “Go out or…,” he said, pausing, “just vote on Election Day, November 3rd. I think we’re going to have a big surprise because they don’t know what’s happening.”
特朗普没有详细说明是什么样的“惊喜”——尽管民主党人和选举诚信专家对潜在的选举干预表示担忧。司法部长托德·布兰奇周日在福克斯新闻上表示，司法部计划向“每个州派遣选举监督员，以确保我们的选举合法、公平、适当地进行。”
Trump didn’t elaborate on what kind of “surprise” — though Democrats and election integrity experts have raised concerns about potential election meddling. Attorney General Todd Blanche said Sunday on Fox News that the Justice Department plans to send poll monitors to “every state to make sure that our elections are carried out legally, fairly and appropriately.”
多年来，特朗普一直对邮寄投票的安全性提出毫无根据的指控，声称这导致了他在2020年大选中输给乔·拜登。他在Truth Social上的帖子中重复了这些指控，尽管他自己在3月的佛罗里达州特别选举和8月的共和党初选中都通过邮寄方式投票。
For years, Trump has made baseless claims about the security of voting by mail, alleging it contributed to his election loss to Joe Biden in 2020. He has repeated those accusations in posts on Truth Social, even though he himself voted by mail in a Florida special election in March and again, in August, in the Republican primary.
不到三周前，他还称邮寄投票“腐败”且是一场“灾难”。“邮寄选票/投票永远无法让选举诚实公正，”特朗普在8月写道，就在最高法院驳回他试图限制下月中期选举邮寄投票的尝试前几周。
Less than three weeks ago, he called mail-in voting “corrupt” and a “disaster.”“ELECTIONS CAN NEVER BE HONEST WITH MAIL IN BALLOTS/VOTING,” Trump wrote in August, just weeks before the Supreme Court rejected his attempt to restrict mail voting in next month’s midterms.
7月，他抨击邮寄选票“本质上就是腐败的”。总统突然转变立场，鼓励共和党人在中期选举中邮寄选票，这一举动并未被共和党同僚忽视。
In July, he slammed mail-in ballots as “inherently corrupt.”The president’s abrupt shift to encourage Republicans to mail their midterm ballots has not gone unnoticed by fellow Republicans.
参议员约翰·科宁在周日于社交媒体发帖：“特朗普，邮寄投票的批评者，敦促共和党人在中期选举中这么做” —— 这是《纽约时报》关于特朗普在该做法上态度大变的一篇报道的标题。科宁在参议院共和党初选中败给了特朗普精心挑选的候选人肯·帕克斯顿。
Sen. John Cornyn, who lost his Senate GOP primary to Trump’s hand-picked candidate, Ken Paxton, posted on social media Sunday: “Trump, Critic of Voting by Mail, Urges Republicans to Do It in Midterms” — the title of a New York Times story on Trump’s change of heart on the practice.
保守派活动家斯科特·普雷斯勒一直是“拯救美国法案”的坚定支持者，他在周日赞扬了总统的新立场。“特朗普总统刚刚背书提前投票，并支持2026年大选采取全方位投票方式，”普雷斯勒在X平台发帖。“是的，这正是@EarlyVoteAction一直在宣扬的。谢谢您，总统先生。”帖子：特朗普突然敦促共和党人“邮寄投票”MS NOW
Conservative activist Scott Presler, who has been a staunch supporter of the SAVE America Act, praised the president’s new stance on Sunday. “President Trump just endorsed early voting & an all-of-the-above approach to voting for the 2026 elections,” Presler posted on X. “Yes, this is what @EarlyVoteAction has been preaching. Thank you, Mr. President.”The post Trump is suddenly urging Republicans to ‘vote by mail’MS NOW
