特朗普总统在周一的一场政治集会上宣称，如果民主党人在接下来的两次选举中掌控国会和白宫，他将成为“最后一位共和党总统”。
President Trump declared during a Monday political rally that he would “be the last Republican president” if Democrats clinched control of Congress and the White House in the next two elections.
“我会成为最后一位共和党总统，因为他们会新增大约12张选举人票，”特朗普在演讲中说道。
“I will be the last Republican president because they will add about twelve more electoral votes,” Trump said in his speech.
“他们还会新增4名参议员，以及约10名众议员，”他继续说道，“他们会通过大量安插自己人来操纵最高法院。”特朗普还称，民主党人希望将最高法院大法官人数增至23人，这一数字比该党领导人此前提出的方案还要多出10人。
“They’ll add four more senators. They’ll add ten more congresspeople, approximately,” he continued. “They’re gonna rig the Supreme Court through just a lot of people.”The president added that Democrats want to raise the total number of justices on the high court to 23, adding 10 to the number that has been floated by party leaders.
“他们梦寐以求的真正数字就是23人，”特朗普在演讲中声称，“他们嘴上说是13人。可谁会想要13人呢？”由于不满特朗普成功任命了三名保守派大法官，民主党人呼吁对最高法院进行“全面改革”。包括前副总统卡玛拉·哈里斯在内的政界人士都支持将大法官人数扩充至13人，同时推行选举人团制度改革。
“The real number that they dream of is 23,” Trump claimed during his speech. “They say 13. Who wants 13?”Democrats have called for an “overhaul” of the court amid anger with Trump’s ability to appoint three conservative justices to the bench. Politicians like former Vice President Kamala Harris have supported the idea of expanding the court to 13 justices along with Electoral College reform.
周一，特朗普现身俄亥俄州扬斯敦，为现任共和党参议员乔恩·赫斯特德以及共和党州长候选人维韦克·拉马斯瓦米助选。尽管特朗普在过去三次总统选举中均在该州获胜，但这两位候选人的选情目前依然胶着。
Trump was in Youngstown, Ohio, on Monday to stump for incumbent Sen. Jon Husted (R-Ohio) and gubernatorial candidate Vivek Ramaswamy (R), who are engaged in tight races in the Buckeye State despite the president’s victories there in the last three presidential elections.
在本轮选举中，部分共和党候选人试图与特朗普及其持续走低的支持率保持距离，但赫斯特德与拉马斯瓦米都指望借助特朗普来争取共和党基本盘的支持。
While some GOP candidates this election cycle have sought to distance themselves from Trump and his plummeting job approval numbers, both Husted and Ramaswamy have relied on him to boost support among the Republican base.
“几十年来，扬斯敦地区一直投票给民主党，但您在2016年参选后便让这里永远变成了共和党的地盘，”赫斯特德在周一的演讲中说道，“对吧，各位？”特朗普还为现场的其他几位共和党候选人背书，其中包括众议员马克斯·米勒。这位俄亥俄州议员被指控虐待自己的前妻及年幼的女儿，但他对此予以否认。
“The Youngstown area for decades used to vote Democrat, and then you ran for office in 2016 and flipped it red forever,” Husted said during his speech Monday. “Is that right, folks?”The president also endorsed several other Republican candidates present at the event, including Rep. Max Miller (R). The Ohio lawmaker has been accused of abusing his ex-wife and their young daughter — allegations he has denied.
“谢谢你，马克斯，能来参加这次会议。”特朗普说道，“非常感谢你。”
“Thank you, Max, for coming,” Trump said. “Thank you. Very good.”
