即将卸任的北卡罗来纳州共和党参议员汤姆·蒂利斯（Thom Tillis）驳斥了有关总统唐纳德·特朗普可能干预中期选举的担忧，因为他声称，“事情会自行解决”。周三，蒂利斯在接受MS NOW频道彼得·亚历山大（Peter Alexander）的采访时，为宣传他的新书而表示，对联邦政府干预的担忧并无根据。
Sen. Thom Tillis, the outgoing North Carolina Republican, dismissed concerns about President Donald Trump potentially meddling in the midterm elections because, he said, “it’ll work itself out.”In an interview with MS NOW’s Peter Alexander on Wednesday to promote his new book, Tillis suggested that fears of federal government interference are unwarranted.
亚历山大问道：“你对特朗普总统不会要求任何人从事与此次中期选举相关的任何非法行为——无论是计票还是后续工作——有多大的信心？”蒂利斯回答说：“事情会自行解决。”
“How confident are you that President Trump will not ask anyone to do anything illegal as it relates to these midterms, either the counting of the votes or the aftermath?”Alexander asked. “It’ll work itself out,” Tillis said.
当被问及“鉴于我们所目睹的一切”，他为何如此自信时，蒂利斯回应道：“因为1月6日事件已经自行解决了。”亚历山大追问：“真的自行解决了吗？”
Asked why he has such confidence “given what we’ve seen,” Tillis responded, “Because Jan. 6 worked itself out.”“Did it work itself out?”Alexander pressed. “Sure did,” the senator said.
这位参议员说：“当然解决了。我回到了议会大厅，直到选举结果得到认证，我才离开整个建筑群。那是一次压力测试。”2021年1月6日的国会骚乱事件至少导致七人死亡，约150名执法人员受伤。随后几年，司法部就此次骚乱提起了超过1200起刑事诉讼，但特朗普在2025年重返总统职位后不久，便为所有涉案人员提供了宽恕或赦免。
“I went back into the chamber, and I did not leave the complex until we certified the election. It was a stress test.”At least seven people died in connection with the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot, and approximately 150 law enforcement officers were injured The Justice Department brought more than 1,200 criminal cases related to the riots in the years that followed, but Trump granted clemency or pardons to every one of them shortly after returning to office in 2025.
随着共和党人担心在11月的大选中遭遇惨败，特朗普已竭尽全力扭转局势以利于他们。他拒绝排除使用《叛乱法》的可能性，该法案允许他在国内调动美军。他的政府还采取了各种措施，使投票过程更加困难和令人望而却步，同时却向投票支持共和党的美国人提供现金奖励。此外，由于国会中的共和党人大多受其控制，特朗普几乎未面临来自本党成员的实质性反对。
With Republicans fearing a landslide loss in November, Trump has gone to lengths to bend the odds in their favor. He has refused to rule out using the Insurrection Act which would allow him to mobilize the U.S. military at home. His administration has made various efforts make voting harder and more daunting even while he offers cash payments to Americans for voting Republican And with congressional Republicans largely under his thumb, Trump faces little meaningful pushback from members of his own party.
蒂利斯是少数公开反对特朗普的共和党人之一。由于反对总统的巨额预算法案而持续受到特朗普的攻击，蒂利斯去年宣布，他将在2027年1月任期结束后退休。
Tillis has been one of a handful of Republicans who have publicly bucked Trump. After sustained attacks from Trump for opposing the president’s budget megabill Tillis announced last year that he will retire after his term ends in January 2027.
随着其国会生涯即将进入最后阶段，蒂利斯正在推广自己新出版的书籍《如何失去朋友并激怒总统》。在媒体采访中，蒂利斯详细阐述了书中部分内容，表达了他对行政分支权力日益增长的担忧。
With his congressional career now nearing its final lap, Tillis is promoting his newly released book, “How to Lose Friends and Antagonize Presidents.”In media interviews, Tillis has detailed parts of his book that address his concern about the growing power of the executive branch.
然而，这种担忧似乎并未影响他对中期选举的看法。在周三接受MS NOW采访时，蒂利斯后来告诉亚历山大，他愿意打赌选举会顺利进行。
That concern does not appear to factor into his view about the midterm elections. Later in his interview with MS NOW on Wednesday, Tillis told Alexander he was willing to bet on the elections running smoothly.
“我们来打个友好的赌怎么样？我会回到你的节目上，要么承认自己错了，要么你就承认自己错了，”蒂利斯说。“我认为权力会和平交接，而且根本不会出什么事。”
“Why don’t we do a friendly bet? I’ll come back on your show and either admit I was wrong, or you can admit you were wrong,” Tillis said. “I think it will peacefully transfer, and it will be a non-thing.”The post‘It’ll work itself out’: Sen.
