德克萨斯州州长格雷格·阿博特（共和党人）不会与特朗普总统一同出席即将在圣安东尼奥举行的政治集会。目前距离11月的中期选举不到一个月，这位共和党籍州长正在为连任而努力。
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) will not appear alongside President Trump at an upcoming political rally in San Antonio as the Republican incumbent fights for reelection less than a month out from November’s midterms.
特朗普将于周三前往德克萨斯州，为该州司法部长肯·帕克斯顿（共和党人）助选。帕克斯顿目前正与民主党人詹姆斯·塔拉里科在参议院席位争夺中展开激烈角逐。此外，将在包含圣安东尼奥部分区域的选区参选众议员的共和党候选人卡洛斯·德拉克鲁兹也计划出席此次活动。
Trump is traveling to Texas Wednesday to stump for the state’s attorney general, Ken Paxton (R), who is locked in a tight race with Democrat James Talarico for a seat in the Senate. GOP House candidate Carlos De La Cruz, who’s running in a congressional district that includes parts of San Antonio, is also slated to attend.
阿博特的竞选团队证实了州长不参加此次活动的计划，并建议《国会山报》参考他周一在休斯敦与执法部门举行的圆桌会议上对记者提问的回应。
Abbott’s campaign confirmed the governor’s plans to skip this event and directed The Hill back to his response to a reporter’s question at a Monday roundtable event with law enforcement in Houston.
“由于我的日程安排十分紧凑，每天都要前往多个城市举办类似活动，当天我已有其他安排，因此无法出席，”阿博特说道。
“Because of the schedule that I run, where I go to multiple cities a day doing events like this, I already have events like this scheduled that day and I will not be able to make it,” Abbott said.
这位州长称赞特朗普有能力激发共和党支持者的热情。“他善于组织动员自己的支持者并促使他们积极参与投票，”他补充道。
The governor praised the president’s ability to drum up “excitement among the base.”“He does a good job of getting the base organized and turning out,” he added.
此次周三举行的集会将是特朗普不到一个月内第三次访问德克萨斯州，这也凸显了该州对共和党今年秋季保住国会控制权的重要性。
The Wednesday event will mark the president’s third trip to Texas in less than a month, a signal of the state’s importance in the GOP’s efforts to maintain control of Congress this fall.
在本轮选举中，多个关键州的共和党候选人出于对生活成本上涨以及美国对伊朗军事行动持续进行的担忧，纷纷试图与特朗普保持距离。
Several Republican candidates in battleground states this election cycle have sought to distance themselves from the president amid concerns about rising living costs and the ongoing U.S. military operations against Iran.
上个月，在9月中旬举行的共和党中期选举大会上，阿博特称赞了特朗普政府在打击非法移民方面的举措。特朗普与副总统万斯也出席了该大会。
Last month, Abbott praised the Trump administration’s illegal immigration crackdown during a speech at the GOP’s midterm convention in mid-September, which Trump and Vice President Vance also attended.
“我想让大家知道：我们为唐纳德·J·特朗普总统能来到德克萨斯州的达拉斯感到无比自豪，”阿博特对与会人群说道。
“I want you to know this much: We are very proud to have President Donald J. Trump here in Dallas, Texas,” Abbott told the crowd.
在周一的圆桌会议上，州长还被问及民意调查数据，这些数据显示他的民主党挑战者吉娜·伊诺霍萨在该州竞争激烈的州长竞选中取得了优势。
The governor was also asked during Monday’s roundtable about polling data that showed his Democratic challenger Gina Hinojosa gaining ground in the state’s competitive gubernatorial race.
在《纽约时报》/锡耶纳大学上个月进行的一项民意调查中，民主党候选人领先现任共和党人四个百分点。福克斯新闻同期的一项民意调查显示，阿博特以五个百分点的领先优势赢得了选民的支持。
In a New York Times/Siena University poll conducted last month, the Democratic candidate posted a four-point lead on the incumbent Republican. A Fox News poll from the same time period showed Abbott with a five-point lead amonged voters.
“听着，我拥有的一件事就是内部数据，我对自己所处的位置感到非常满意，”阿博特回答道。
“Listen, one thing I have is internal data, and I feel very comfortable about where I am,” Abbott replied.
