早上好。今年的初选结果或许表明，民主党极左翼正在接管该党。民主社会主义者佐赫兰·马姆达尼市长的盟友在纽约市的众议院初选中获胜，而密歇根州的阿卜杜勒·埃尔-赛义德等左翼候选人则成为民主党在多个参议院选区的提名人选。
Good morning. The results of this year’s primary elections might suggest that the Democrats’ far-left flank is taking over their party. Allies of Mayor Zohran Mamdani, a Democratic socialist, won House primaries in New York City, and left-wing candidates such as Abdul El-Sayed in Michigan are the Democrats’ nominees in several Senate races.
民主党人自己称该党是一个自由派政党。在《华尔街日报》上个月进行的一项民意调查中，约56%的民主党人自认为属于自由派，这一比例较2010年的40%有显著上升。
Democrats themselves say they are a party of liberals. Some 56% of Democrats in last month’s Wall Street Journal poll called themselves liberal, a substantial increase from 40% in 2010.
但如果问及该党是否应该变得更加自由派，情况就不那么明朗了——显然，该党并不想追随民主社会主义者向左偏移的趋势。
But ask whether the party should become more liberal, and it isn’t clear that it wants to follow the Democratic socialists’ leftward drift.
仅有37%的民主党人认为自己的政党应该变得更加自由派，而超过半数（约52%）的人认为该党应该变得更加温和或保持现状。
Only 37% of Democrats say their party should become more liberal, while a majority, some 52%, say the party should either become more moderate or stay the same.
另一个显示温和倾向的迹象是，该民意调查中三分之二的民主党人表示，他们更倾向于选择一位能够跨越党派分歧、本着妥协精神推动立法的候选人，这一比例远高于希望候选人不妥协原则的25%。
In another sign of moderate impulses, two-thirds of Democrats in the poll said they prefer a candidate who reaches across the aisle in the spirit of compromise to pass legislation, far more than the one-quarter who want a candidate who won’t compromise on principles.
此外，自认为“较为自由派”的民主党人比“非常自由派”的民主党人更多。他们支持边境安全、警察经费和选民身份验证法等中间派主张的程度，高于“非常自由派”群体。
And more Democrats call themselves “somewhat liberal” than “very liberal.”They support centrist ideas such as border security, police funding and voter ID laws more than the very-liberal group does.
民主党究竟有多自由派？在参议院选举中，除了像埃尔-赛义德这样的候选人外，民主党也提名了像罗伊·库珀这样的温和派人士——这位前州长目前正角逐北卡罗来纳州的参议院席位。
How liberal is the Democratic Party? For every El-Sayed running for Senate, Democrats have also nominated a moderate such as Roy Cooper, the former governor now leading his race for a North Carolina Senate seat.
该党希望向左偏移多少的问题，将在中期选举次日，即11月4日变得尤为突出。届时，民主党人将开始激烈讨论：究竟应该由一位进步派还是中间派的总统候选人，带领他们迎接下一届白宫竞选。
The question of how leftward the party wants to move will snap into the foreground on Nov. 4, the day after the midterms. That’s when Democrats begin the scramble to decide whether a progressive or a centrist presidential candidate should lead them into the next race for the White House.
凯文·沃什：美联储主席正在曼谷出席国际货币基金组织会议，他的言论将在周三意外出炉的高通胀报告背景下受到密切关注。
Kevin Warsh: The Fed chairman is speaking at an IMF meeting in Bangkok, and his words will be scrutinized in the context of Wednesday’s unexpectedly hot inflation report.
Maine辩论：正在竞选连任的共和党参议员苏珊·柯林斯与民主党人特洛伊·杰克逊将于今晚正面交锋，这是他们在中期选举前的最后一次辩论。
Maine debate: Republican Sen. Susan Collins, who is running for re-election, and Democrat Troy Jackson will face off tonight in their final debate before the midterms.
特朗普周四行程：总统将参加玫瑰园午宴，随后在下午举行政策会议，今晚还将举办两场电话集会。
Trump’s Thursday: The president will participate in a Rose Garden lunch, then has a policy meeting this afternoon. He will hold two tele-rallies this evening.
关于伊尔汗·奥马尔的调查：该调查旨在为剥夺其公民身份构建案件。据美国官员及其他熟悉调查的人士称，特朗普政府的努力最终目标是将该民主党籍明尼苏达州众议员驱逐出境。调查至少部分聚焦于奥马尔在1995年从索马里抵达美国后如何获得公民身份，调查人员正仔细审查该众议员及其已故父亲的行为。
The Ilhan Omar investigation is aiming to build a case for stripping her citizenship. The effort by the Trump administration would seek ultimately to deport the Democratic Minnesota congresswoman, according to U.S. officials and other people familiar with the probe. The probe is focused at least in part on how Omar obtained her citizenship after she arrived in the U.S. from Somalia in 1995, with investigators looking closely at the congresswoman and the actions of her deceased father, some of the people said.
特朗普再次对乌克兰总统泽连斯基失望。乌克兰官员怀疑特朗普指示埃隆·马斯克——拥有运营星链的公司——限制乌克兰获取用于拦截针对平民的俄罗斯打击的卫星系统访问权限。这些疑虑尚未得到证实，但特朗普日益不满意乌克兰以美国资源打击俄罗斯能源出口的行为，担心这可能损害美国消费者利益。
Trump has soured on Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, again. Ukrainian officials suspect that Trump ordered Elon Musk, who owns the company that operates Starlink, to throttle Ukraine’s access to the satellite systems used to intercept Russian strikes against Ukrainian civilians. The suspicions haven’t been confirmed, but Trump has been increasingly unhappy that Ukraine was using U.S. resources to target Russia’s energy exports in a way he thought could hurt American consumers.
共和党正在应对日益扩大的选举版图。距离中期选举还有不到三周，资金雄厚的党团体正试图帮助挣扎的候选人冲刺至终点线，而特朗普与副总统JD· Vance则穿梭全国，巩固在数月前仍看似稳固的红州地区的共和党支持。民主党则借助特朗普低迷的支持率及经济忧虑（ amid the Iran war），将目标范围扩大至更多倾向共和党的地区。
Republicans are playing defense on an expanding electoral map. With less than three weeks until the midterms, deep-pocketed GOP groups are trying to push struggling candidates over the finish line, while Trump and Vice President JD Vance are crisscrossing the country to shore up Republican support in red areas that seemed virtually unassailable months ago. Democrats, working to capitalize on Trump’s weak approval ratings and economic concerns amid the Iran war, have expanded their target map into more Republican-leaning territory.
