美国总统特朗普将于周六将其红州竞选之旅带到田纳西州,在克拉克斯维尔领衔一场集会。
President Trump will bring his red state campaign tour to Tennessee on Saturday to headline a rally in Clarksville.
共和党全国委员会宣布了特朗普在田纳西州的这一站行程,几周前他刚刚出席了在诺克斯维尔举行的得克萨斯对阵田纳西的大学橄榄球比赛。田纳西州拥有稳固的共和党州长和参议院竞选形势。
The Republican National Committee announced Trump’s stop in Tennessee, which comes just weeks after he attended the Texas-Tennessee college football game in Knoxville. Tennessee is home to solidly Republican gubernatorial and Senate races.
本周早些时候,特朗普前往极红的内布拉斯加州,为面临日益激烈的连任竞争的现任参议员皮特·里基茨(共和党人,内布拉斯加州)竞选。上周,特朗普在俄克拉何马州和阿拉巴马州举行了集会。
Earlier this week, Trump traveled to ruby red Nebraska to campaign for incumbent Sen. Pete Ricketts (R-Neb.), who is facing an increasingly competitive reelection bid. Trump rallied in Oklahoma and Alabama last week.
周六的集会结束后,特朗普计划前往阿拉巴马州塔斯卡路萨观看佐治亚对阵阿拉巴马的比赛。
After Saturday’s rally, Trump is scheduled to travel to Tuscaloosa, Ala., for the Georgia-Alabama game.
然而,总统周三在椭圆形办公室对记者表示,他是否出席将取决于天气情况,因为热带风暴“伊斯亚斯”正威胁着墨西哥湾地区。“如果有紧急情况,如果有飓风。
我不想做任何分散人们对那些在这些灾害中工作的人的关注的事,”他说。
However, the president told reporters in the Oval Office on Wednesday that his attendance will depend on the weather as Tropical Storm Isaias threatens the Gulf region. “If there’s an emergency, if there’s a hurricane. I don’t want to do anything to take the focus off all of the great people that work in those things,” he said.
特朗普访问多个红州之际,共和党人在全国其他竞选中面临着艰难的战斗。特朗普上周表示,他访问红州是“出于尊重”。总统最近还访问了得克萨斯州和俄亥俄州等其他竞争激烈的州。
Trump’s move to visit a number of red states comes as Republicans face uphill battles in other races across the country. Trump said last week that he is visiting red states as “a sign of respect.”The president has recently visited other competitive states as well including Texas and Ohio.
