德州联邦众议员贾丝明·克罗克特（民主党籍）表示，她支持德州选票上的所有民主党人，并补充说这包括在初选中击败她的民主党参议员提名人、德州州众议员詹姆斯·塔拉里科。
Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas) said she supports all Democrats on the ballot in the Lone Star State, adding that this includes the Democratic Senate nominee who defeated her in the primary, Texas state Rep. James Talarico.
据《德州论坛报》周一报道，她在社交媒体直播中说：“我支持所有民主党人。是的，这包括詹姆斯·塔拉里科，我在选举第二天就背书支持他了，好吗？”
“I support all Democrats. Yes, that includes James Talarico, who I endorsed the day after the election, OK?” she said in a livestream on social media, The Texas Tribune reported Monday.
克罗克特在3月3日初选第二天致电塔拉里科祝贺他获胜，但自那以后几个月里，她没有发布任何官方声明或正式背书。
Crockett called Talarico to congratulate him on his win in the March 3 primary the following day, but she hasn’t released any official statements or a formal endorsement in the months since.
据《华盛顿邮报》上周报道，她没有与塔拉里科一起竞选，而且在9月28日发布的克罗克特“点燃个人权利无处不在”（FIRE）政治行动委员会14份背书名单中，也没有包含这位州众议员的名字。该组织已在全国范围内支持大量候选人，包括德州各地、加州和美属维尔京群岛的候选人。
She has not campaigned with Talarico, and the state representative’s name was not included in the list released Sept. 28 of 14 endorsements from Crockett’s Fueling Individual Rights Everywhere (FIRE) PAC, The Washington Post reported last week. The group has backed a wide swath of candidates throughout the country, including across Texas and in California and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
克罗克特猛烈抨击了关于塔拉里科未出现在名单上的批评，指责“懒惰的记者们”去看她3月在社交平台X上的祝贺帖子。
Crockett blasted criticism over Talarico’s absence from the list, referring “lazy journalists” to her congratulatory post on the social platform X in March.
“你们真土！我留有证据。如果人们要么真正关心事实，要么新闻媒体回归新闻本身，而不是决定走小报路线，我会很高兴。现在第1000次了，也许写篇文章曝光肯·帕克斯顿吧。你们听起来全像土气的跟班混蛋！”她上周二在X上写道，指的是德州共和党参议员候选人、州检察长肯·帕克斯顿。
“Y’all are corny! I keep receipts. I’ll be happy when people either give a damn about FACTS or news media goes back to the news instead of deciding to ride the tabloid lane. NOW FOR THE 1000th time maybe write an article about KEN F*in PAXTON. Y’all all sound like corny groupie a– OPS!” she wrote on X last Tuesday, referring to Texas’s GOP Senate candidate, state Attorney General Ken Paxton.
克罗克特8月告诉CNN，她计划专注于在德州“为下层选票竞选”——完全没有提到塔拉里科和他的竞选活动。她指出，2018年德州参议院选举中，民主党人贝托·奥罗克为击败参议员泰德·克鲁兹（德州共和党籍）投入了大量精力，结果奥罗克仅以几个百分点之差落败。
Crockett told CNN in August that she planned to focus on “campaigning downballot” in Texas — making no mention of Talarico and his campaign. She pointed to all the energy spent on Democrat Beto O’Rourke’s campaign to defeat Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) in the Lone Star State’s 2018 Senate race, only for O’Rourke to lose by a few points.
因此，对我来说，我认为确保那些可能因为看起来只关注一场大选而被掩盖光芒的人得到关注，我认为放大他们的声音，确保我能提升他们的知名度并将他们介绍给选民，这将给选民带来更多选择，”她当时告诉CNN的劳拉·科茨。
“And so, for me, I think that making sure that people that maybe are getting overshadowed because it seems like it’s only about one big race, I think amplifying them, making sure that I can raise their profiles and introducing them to people, that’ll give something more to voters,” she told CNN’s Laura Coates at the time.
她还表示，认为在竞选活动中与塔拉里科同台并不会对他有帮助，因此选择与旨在11月获胜的黑人候选人一起竞选。
She has also said that she did not think it would help Talarico by sharing the stage with him at campaign events, instead choosing to campaign with Black candidates aiming to win in November.
“我为詹姆斯·塔拉里科能做的最好的事不是与他同台站立，”克罗克特7月告诉《圣安东尼奥观察家报》，并补充说，帮助那些候选人能让更多德克萨斯州的黑人走向投票箱。
“The best thing that I can do for James Talarico isn’t me standing on a stage with him,” Crockett told The San Antonio Observer in July, adding that help for those candidates could bring more Black Texans to the ballot box.
福克斯新闻周四发布的一项民调显示，塔拉里科以51比49领先帕克斯顿。随着民主党寻求夺回参议院控制权，这场竞选已成为全国最激烈的竞争之一。
A Fox News poll released Thursday showed Talarico leading Paxton 51-49. The race has become one of the most competitive in the nation as Democrats seek to reclaim control of the upper chamber.
特朗普总统在5月德克萨斯州共和党初选决选中选择支持帕克斯顿，而非现任共和党参议员约翰·科宁。
President Trump chose to back Paxton over incumbent Republican Sen. John Cornyn during Texas’s GOP primary runoff in May.
