得州民主党人詹姆斯·塔拉里科今年夏天筹得惊人的6400万美元 — — 这是有史以来任何参议院候选人第三季度的最高筹款额。
Texas Democrat James Talarico raised a staggering $64 million this summer — the largest third-quarter haul of any Senate candidate in history.
全国民主党的宠儿自2025年9月启动竞选以来，已筹得超过1.343亿美元，这一数据首次由POLITICO获得。
The national Democratic darling raised more than $134.3 million since launching his campaign in September of 2025, according to figures shared first with POLITICO.
竞选团队称，超过130万名捐助者作出了贡献，随着民主党人慢慢接受他们长期持有但常常失误的得州全州席位之梦。大约97%的捐款为100美元或以下。
More than 1.3 million donors contributed, the campaign said, as Democrats slowly reconcile themselves to their long-held but often fumbled dream of gaining a statewide perch in Texas. About 97% of those donations were of $100 or less.
塔拉里科在首次与POLITICO分享的声明中表示：“来自得州各地的草根贡献者正团结起来，以结束亿万富翁对我们政治的控制，并降低工薪家庭的成本。”
“Grassroots contributors from across Texas are coming together to end billionaire control over our politics and bring down costs for working families,” Talarico said in a statement shared first with POLITICO.
此次公告是在原本艰难的几天中的一亮点，塔拉里科在因流感缺席超过一周后重返竞选道路。但得州是一个竞选成本高昂的州，共和党人正认真对待他的竞选。
The announcement is a bright spot in an otherwise rough few days, with Talarico reemerging on the trail after being out for more than a week with the flu. But Texas is an expensive state to run in, and Republicans are taking his campaign seriously.
塔拉里科此前已有约2.35亿美元被全国共和党用于对抗他，因为他们正争相保住该席位并提升肯·帕克斯顿。
Talarico already had some $235 million spent against him as national Republicans scramble to hold the seat and boost Ken Paxton.
得州在一次引发分歧的共和党初选后成为共和党的金钱黑洞，该初选中，有争议的州司法部长帕克斯顿击败了现任共和党参议员约翰·科宁，后者是党内建制派的宠儿。塔拉里科在竞选最后阶段将面临共和党金钱的堤坝。
Texas has emerged as a money pit for Republicans following a divisive GOP primary that saw Paxton, the controversial state attorney general, vanquish incumbent GOP Sen. John Cornyn, a favorite of the party establishment. Talarico faces a wall of GOP money in the final days of the race.
“他基本上是在独自奋战，而埃隆·马斯克和共和党完整的筹款机器以2:1的比例超越他。
这仍然是一场艰难的战斗，”一位在得州工作的民主党策略师表示，该人获准匿名以 candidly 讨论塔拉里科的劣势。
“He’s fighting this battle basically alone while Elon Musk and the full weight of the GOP fundraising apparatus outspends him 2:1. This is still an uphill battle,” said a Democratic strategist doing work in Texas, granted anonymity to candidly discuss Talarico’s disadvantages.
在2018年得州参议院竞选中，前众议员贝托·奥罗克在第三季度创下3810万美元的筹款纪录，而南卡罗来纳州民主党人杰米·哈里森在2020年第三季度以5700万美元超过了这一数额。
In his 2018 Texas Senate run, former Rep. Beto O’Rourke raised a record $38.1 million in the third quarter, and South Carolina Democrat Jaime Harrison eclipsed that amount with a $57 million third quarter in 2020.
