今日为您带来来自全国各地的竞选相关新闻。
Today’s installment of campaign-related news items from across the country.
- 在备受关注的得克萨斯州美国参议员竞选中，肯·帕克斯顿虽然是该州的司法部长，但这位深陷丑闻的共和党候选人最近抱怨称，来自华盛顿的党内工作人员正在操控他的竞选团队。
- In Texas’ closely watched U.S. Senate race, Ken Paxton might be the state attorney general, but the scandal-plagued Republican recently complained about party operatives from Washington running his campaign operation.
“我从未参加过一场让我感觉对竞选控制如此薄弱、甚至对哪些议题重要都毫无把握的选举，因为所有事情都——你知道的——来自华盛顿特区。”帕克斯顿上个月在一次小型筹款活动中表示。这段音频由《政治报》获得。这位候选人还补充道：“我并不掌控宣传信息，也不掌控我们正在做的事情。”竞选团队发言人证实了录音的真实性，但称帕克斯顿指的是他的竞选团队与超级政治行动委员会之间的脱节。然而，结合上下文和他的用词，这一解释很难让人信服。
“I’ve never been in a race where I felt less control over the campaign and, like, what issues are going to matter because it’s all coming — you know — from D.C.,” Paxton said during a small fundraising event last month, according to an audio recording obtained by Politico. The candidate added, “I don’t control message or what we’re doing.”A campaign spokesperson confirmed the validity of the recording but said Paxton was referring to the disconnect between his campaign operation and super PACs. Given the context and his choice of words, that explanation is tough to accept at face value.
至于竞选局势，福克斯新闻的最新民调显示，民主党州众议员詹姆斯·塔拉里科在可能投票的选民中以51%比49%领先帕克斯顿；而《纽约时报》与锡耶纳大学的最新民调则显示，塔拉里科以51%比45%领先。
As for the state of the race, the latest Fox News poll showed Democratic state Rep. James Talarico leading Paxton among likely voters, 51% to 49%, while the latest New York Times/Siena University poll found Talarico ahead, 51% to 45%.
- 在同样备受关注的堪萨斯州美国参议员竞选中，民主党候选人亚当·汉密尔顿牧师持续获得该州知名前共和党官员的支持。最新加入的是前州长迈克·海登，他在《威奇托鹰报》的一篇评论文章中公开支持汉密尔顿。
- In Kansas’ closely watched U.S. Senate race, the Democratic nominee, the Rev. Adam Hamilton, continues to pick up support from prominent former Republican officials in the state. The latest is former Gov. Mike Hayden, who threw his support behind Hamilton in an op-ed for The Wichita Eagle.
与此同时，《纽约时报》与锡耶纳大学的最新民调显示，汉密尔顿与现任共和党参议员罗杰·马歇尔的支持率均为45%，暂时打平。
The latest New York Times/Siena University poll, meanwhile, found Hamilton tied with Sen. Roger Marshall, the Republican incumbent, with each garnering 45% support.
- 距离中期选举仅剩四周，参议院领导基金——共和党参议员阵营最大的超级政治行动委员会——明确展示了当前的选情图景：该组织取消了原定于北卡罗来纳州投放的广告，并将首次投资转向堪萨斯州。
- In a clear indication of what the electoral map looks like with four weeks remaining in the midterm cycle, the Senate Leadership Fund, the top super PAC for Senate Republicans, is scrapping its scheduled ads in North Carolina, and making its first investments in Kansas.
Punchbowl News报道称，包括唐纳德·特朗普超级政治行动委员会在内的共和党关键实体也开始削减在佐治亚州的支出，这表明该党许多人预计共和党众议员迈克·柯林斯将输给现任民主党参议员乔恩·奥索夫。
Punchbowl News reported that key Republican entities, including Donald Trump’s super PAC, are also starting to scale back spending in Georgia, suggesting that many in the party expect Republican Rep. Mike Collins to lose to Sen. Jon Ossoff, the Democratic incumbent.

- In Iowa’s closely watched U.S. Senate race, the latest New York Times/Siena University poll found Republican Rep. Ashley Hinson with the narrowest of leads over Democratic state Rep. Josh Turek, 48% to 47%, while the latest Fox News poll showed Turek with a small advantage, 49% to 47%.
- 在备受关注的俄亥俄州美国参议员竞选中，《纽约时报》与锡耶纳大学的最新民调显示，前民主党参议员谢罗德·布朗以49%比46%领先现任共和党参议员乔恩·赫斯特德。
