华盛顿 —— 宾夕法尼亚州州长乔什·夏皮罗拒绝承诺如果连任成功将完成整个任期，效仿马里兰州州长韦斯·摩尔的做法，此时2028年大选传闻四起。
WASHINGTON — Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro refused to commit to serving out a full term if he wins reelection, following in the footsteps of Maryland Gov. Wes Moore as 2028 rumors fly.
相反，夏皮罗将矛头指向他的共和党对手、州财政部长斯泰西·加里蒂，批评她寻求州长职位而不是完成财政部长的整个任期。
Instead, Shapiro trained fire on his GOP rival, state Treasurer Stacy Garrity, for seeking the governor’s mansion instead of finishing out a full term in office.
“我唯一关注的就是竞选连任州长。我专注于这些中期选举，”夏皮罗周三在州长辩论中被问及时表示。“台上有两位候选人。我们中只有一人违背了完成整个任期的承诺。”
“The only thing I am focused on is running for reelection as governor. And I’m focused on these midterms,” Shapiro said during his gubernatorial debate Wednesday when asked. “There are two candidates on this stage. Only one of us has broken a pledge to serve out their full term.”
“财政部长曾承诺将完成财政部长的整个任期。她显然违背了这一承诺，我将竭尽全力确保她能作为财政部长完成四年任期。”
“The treasurer made a commitment [that] she would serve her full term as treasurer. She’s obviously broken that, and I’m going to do everything in my power to ensure that she’s able to serve all four years as treasurer.”
夏皮罗在2024年民主党副总统人选竞争中引发关注，根据最新的RealClearPolitics民调汇总，他目前在备受关注的2028年潜在候选人中排名第七。
Shapiro sparked buzz during the Democratic veepstakes in 2024 and is currently polling in seventh place among the top speculated 2028 hopefuls, according to the latest RealClearPolitics aggregate.
这位民主党州长因支持犹太国家而遭到党内反以色列派别的抨击。夏皮罗是犹太人。
The Democratic governor has taken some heat from anti-Israel elements of the party over his support for the Jewish state. Shapiro is Jewish.
“我的立场非常、非常一贯——既热爱以色列，也不同意内塔尼亚胡政府的做法，”他在辩论中被问及党内就此问题的内斗时解释道。
“I’ve been very, very consistent in my position — in my love of Israel and also my disagreements with the Netanyahu government,” he explained during the debate, when asked about Democratic infighting on that issue.
夏皮罗被广泛视为连任竞选的领跑者。宾夕法尼亚州是近几届总统大选周期中的七大关键摇摆州之一。
Shapiro is widely seen as the frontrunner in his race for reelection. Pennsylvania is one of the seven top battleground states in recent presidential cycles.
他在该州的高人气助长了关于他在总统大选中将极具竞争力的猜测。
His popularity there has fueled speculation that he would be formidable in a presidential contest.
在马里兰州，摩尔同样引发了他可能角逐总统的猜测。周二，摩尔在与共和党对手丹·考克斯的辩论中，同样拒绝承诺将完成整个任期。
In Maryland, Moore has similarly drawn buzz that he could vie for the presidency. During Moore’s debate against Republican rival Dan Cox on Tuesday, the Maryland governor similarly refused to commit to serving out a full term.
“担任马里兰州州长是我一生的荣幸，”被问及时他回答道。“如果我不是致力于服务马里兰州人民，我就不会竞选连任。”在主持人追问要求直接回答后，摩尔避而不谈。
“Being the governor of Maryland has been the honor of a lifetime,” he replied when asked. “And I would not be running for reelection if I was not committed to the people of Maryland.”After a moderator pressed him for a direct answer, Moore demurred.
“我已经回答了。我致力于服务马里兰州人民。这就是我竞选连任的原因。”摩尔此前曾多次排除竞选总统的可能性。
“I gave the answer. I am committed to the people of Maryland. That’s why I am running for reelection.”Moore previously repeatedly ruled out a presidential run.
“我不竞选总统，”他在去年接受NBC新闻节目《与媒体见面》采访时曾两次表示。
“I’m not running for president,” he told NBC News’ “Meet the Press” twice during an interview last year.
但上个月，当被问及2028年大选时，摩尔表示，他“将参与未来更宏大的对话，因为我认为马里兰州的现状以及我们所取得的成就，证明了这一点。”
But last month, when asked about 2028, Moore said that he is “going to be part of a bigger conversation going forward, because I think the state of Maryland, and what we’ve done, has justified that.”
