克林顿夫妇重返中期选举竞选舞台 — — 比尔·克林顿将前往佛罗里达州为民主党州长候选人大卫·乔利助阵,而希拉里·克林顿则在播客麦克风前亮相,随着党内为选举日发动最后冲刺。

The Clintons are back on the midterm campaign circuit — with Bill Clinton heading to Florida to stump for Democratic gubernatorial nominee David Jolly and Hillary Clinton taking to the podcast microphone as the party makes its final push toward Election Day.

前总统将于10月20日首次公开亮相参与2026年选举周期的竞选活动,为曾是共和党众议员、现转为民主党的乔利助力。与此同时,希拉里已与记者卡拉·斯维舍合作推出一个聚焦中期选举的播客系列节目,并自行开展竞选活动。

The former president is scheduled to make his first public campaign appearance of the 2026 election cycle on Oct. 20 for Jolly, a former Republican congressman turned Democrat. Hillary, meanwhile, has teamed up with journalist Kara Swisher for a new midterm-focused podcast series and has been making campaign appearances of her own.

这两项举措让民主党最具辨识度的两位人物重新投入中期选举战场,而党内正因对未来方向存在分歧而举步维艰,这也引发了人们对克林顿夫妇仍能发挥多大影响力的质疑 — — 尤其是在进步派候选人挑战民主党建制派的背景下。

The moves bring two of the Democratic Party's most recognizable figures into the midterm fight as the party grapples with competing visions for its future, raising questions about how much influence the Clintons still wield as progressive candidates challenge the Democratic establishment.

拜登在竞选道路上 conspicuously 缺席,而奥巴马和哈里斯则加大力度推动中期选举。尽管克林顿夫妇在民主党政治中仍占据重要位置,但一位党内策略师表示,民主党更专注于赢得选举,而非重温党的过去。

While the Clintons remain prominent in Democratic politics, one party strategist says Democrats are more focused on winning elections than revisiting the party's past.

“克林顿总统仍是这个国家有史以来最具政治沟通天赋的人物之一,尤其在通过经济议题与工薪阶层选民建立联系方面,”民主党策略师凯文·沃林说。“但我不认为民主党在寻求克林顿的回归 — — 他们正在寻找重返胜利之路的途径。”另一位民主党策略师马莉·史密斯对克林顿夫妇在选举最后几周的影响力持更为怀疑的态度。

"President Clinton remains one of the most gifted political communicators this country has ever known, particularly when it comes to connecting with working-class voters on the economic issues that matter most," said Democratic strategist Kevin Walling. "But I don’t believe that Democrats are looking for a Clinton restoration — they’re looking for a path back to winning." Democratic strategist Mally Smith offered a more skeptical assessment of how much reach the Clintons have in the closing weeks of the election.

“希拉里和比尔对一些选民仍然具有影响力。然而,他们主要在向民主党基本盘和政治参与度高的人群发表讲话时会有用处,” 玛丽·史密斯说。“这是一个难以突破的媒体环境,即便是现任选举官员,更不用说前任官员,都会难以吸引人们的注意力。” 克林顿将于10月20日在佛罗里达州好莱坞的一场跨信仰活动中亮相,届时她将与乔莉同台,乔莉正面临共和党众议员拜伦·唐纳斯的挑战,以接替任期已满的州长罗恩·德桑蒂斯。

"Hillary and Bill are still relevant to some voters. However, they will mostly be useful in speaking to the Democratic base and those who are highly engaged in politics," Mally Smith. "It is a hard media environment to breakthrough and even current elected officials, let alone former office holders, will struggle to get people’s attention." Clinton's Oct. 20 appearance will take place at an interfaith event in Hollywood, Florida, alongside Jolly, who is facing Republican Rep. Byron Donalds in the race to succeed term-limited Gov. Ron DeSantis.

乔莉的竞选重点在于可负担性,包括通过州政府支持的灾难基金降低财产保险成本、扩大医疗补助、增加公共学校经费以及保护堕胎权。

Jolly is campaigning on affordability, including lowering property insurance costs through a state-backed catastrophe fund, expanding Medicaid, increasing funding for public schools and protecting abortion rights.

与此同时,希拉里·克林顿于周六前往内布拉斯加州奥马哈,在一个名为“南瓜、派和政治”的筹款活动上为民主党候选人林恩·沃尔兹和丹尼斯·鲍威尔拉票。

Hillary Clinton, meanwhile, traveled to Omaha, Nebraska, on Saturday to rally support for Democratic candidates Lynne Walz and Denise Powell at a "Pumpkins, Pies, and Politics" fundraiser.

当被问及她将如何应对那些觉得自己选票不再重要的民主党人时,克林顿指出了一系列导致选民沮丧的全国性危机——包括她在2016年的选举失利。

Asked how she would address Democrats who feel their votes no longer matter, Clinton pointed to a series of national crises that have contributed to voter frustration – including her 2016 election loss.

“你可以理解,对于觉得自己经历了一系列艰难时刻的人来说,这种感觉是可以理解的。如果你回顾我们国家过去25年的历程,我在9/11事件时是纽约州的参议员。那是一次创伤。2008年的严重金融危机对人们来说是可怕的。我们在2016年举行了选举,你知道,这引发了许多我们仍在努力寻找答案的问题,关于到底发生了什么、到底是什么样的情况,随后我们又经历了新冠疫情。” 她在内布拉斯加州的活动中如此说道。

"And you could kind of understand that, for people who feel like they've had a series of hard times. If you look back on the last 25 years in our country, I was a senator from New York on 9/11. That was a trauma. The terrible financial crisis of 2008 was horrific for people.

克林顿与记者兼播客主持人卡拉·斯维舍合作推出了一档名为《High Stakes》的六周限定系列节目,该节目于10月14日首播,将持续到中旬11月每周播出一次,聚焦2026年中期选举、关键的国会竞选以及相关议题。

We had an election in 2016 that, you know, raised a lot of questions that we're still trying to find answers for about what, what kind of really went on, and then we had COVID," she said during the Nebraska event. Clinton teamed up with journalist and podcast host Kara Swisher for a six-week limited series titled "High Stakes," which debuted Oct. 14 and will air weekly through mid-November, focusing on the 2026 midterm elections, key congressional races and issues.

首集周三播出,聚焦汽油、杂货和医疗费用上涨、埃隆·马斯克的政治支出,以及民主党如何将可负担性打造为获胜信息,同时还审视了密歇根州和缅因州的关键参议院竞选。

The first episode, which aired Wednesday, centered on rising costs for gas, groceries and healthcare, Elon Musk's political spending and how Democrats can make affordability a winning message, while also examining key Senate races in Michigan and Maine.

希拉里·克林顿承认臭名昭著的2016年9·11事件中险些晕倒是她的“失误”“如果前总统能帮助民主党在佛罗里达州这样具有挑战性的州竞争,克林顿国务卿的播客能为推动我党的实质性全国对话做出贡献,那当然是件好事,”沃林说。

HILLARY CLINTON CONCEDES INFAMOUS 9/11 NEAR-FAINTING EPISODE IN 2016 WAS A 'MISTAKE' ON HER PART "If the former president can help Democrats compete in a challenging state like Florida, and Secretary Clinton’s podcast can contribute to a substantive national conversation that motivates my party, that’s certainly a positive," said Walling.

克林顿夫妇曝光度增加之际,得到美国民主社会主义者支持的候选人在包括科罗拉多州、纽约州和密歇根州在内的多个州的初选中击败了现任或建制派支持的民主党人。

The Clintons' increased visibility comes as Democratic Socialists of America-backed candidates have scored primary victories against incumbent or establishment-backed Democrats in states including Colorado, New York and Michigan.

会见极左翼叛乱者:他们正在2026年中期选举中对民主党建制派发起战争“民主党面临的挑战是,在汲取党的过去智慧和经验的同时,不要掩盖那些将定义其未来的下一代领导人,”他补充道。福克斯新闻数字版已联系克林顿夫妇和乔利的竞选团队征求评论。

"The challenge for Democrats is drawing on the wisdom and experience of the party’s past without overshadowing the next generation of leaders who will define its future," he added. Fox News Digital reached out to the Clintons and Jolly’s campaign for comment.
