马萨诸塞州民主党参议员伊丽莎白·沃伦在最近的一次采访中变得有些 defensive（即开始采取防御性态度）。她在采访中强烈批评了政治领域中亿万富翁的捐款行为，并被问及民主党人特洛伊·杰克逊公开了自己所获得的众多亿万富翁捐款者的信息，以及迈克尔·布隆伯格可能提供的巨额捐款。
Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., got defensive in a new interview as she railed against billionaire donations in politics and was asked about Democrat Troy Jackson revealing multiple billionaire donors, as well as a large possible donation from Michael Bloomberg. CNN's Kaitlan Collins said during an interview with Warren that Bloomberg had given about $80 million to help Democrats win the midterms after noting that Elon Musk had contributed $276 million to Republicans.
CNN 的凯特兰·柯林斯在采访沃伦时指出，布隆伯格已向民主党提供了约 8000 万美元的资金，以帮助民主党赢得中期选举；同时她也提到了埃隆·马斯克向共和党捐赠了 2.76 亿美元。
Collins asked Warren, "You're someone who has said billionaire donors should not be in politics. Given what you've said, do you want Michael Bloomberg's help here?"
柯林斯问沃伦：“您曾表示亿万富翁不应该参与政治活动。那么，面对布隆伯格的捐款，您是否还希望得到他的支持呢？”
THE SOROS POLITICAL MACHINE IS PUTTING MILLIONS TO WORK BEFORE ELECTION DAY – AND ZEROING IN ON KEY RACES "Look, what I want is to get this kind of money out of politics," Warren said.
沃伦回应道：“我希望将这些资金从政治领域中清除出去。目前，共和党认为他们唯一能保住众议院、参议院以及一些州长职位的办法就是大量投入资金、在电视上投放广告、撒谎和欺骗选民，从而让民主党毫无反击的机会。但我们必须抵制这种行为。因为 2026 年的中期选举实际上是一场关于‘金钱’与‘人民’的较量。民主党拥有人民的支持，而共和党虽然拥有资金，但他们以为只要能花钱就能继续掌控这个国家……但我真心希望他们是错的。”沃伦主张建立一种“完全不同的”政治体制。
"Right now, the Republicans know that their only chance, as they see it, to be able to hang on to the House and the Senate and some of these governors' mansions is to be able to just drown people in money, to be able to run all the ads on TV, to lie, to cheat, and that there won't be any opportunity for Democrats to be able to respond." "We need to push back because, this campaign, this 2026 midterm, really is about the money or the people. Because the Democrats have got the people on their side.
柯林斯随后提到了缅因州参议院候选人特洛伊·杰克逊——他在与共和党对手苏珊·柯林斯的辩论中声称自己没有接受任何亿万富翁的资助。然而，据 Fox23 的报道，该候选人竞选团队本月早些时候发布的财务报告显示，实际上至少有四位亿万富翁在为他提供资金。柯林斯再次问道：“您认为他是否应该公开这一矛盾？”
The Republicans have got the money, and they think if they can spend it, they can maintain control of this country, and I sure hope they're wrong," Warren said, arguing for a "very different" system. Collins then raised Maine Senate candidate Troy Jackson, who said during a debate against his opponent, Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, that he had no billionaires funding him. However, a financial report released by the campaign earlier this month found there were at least four billionaire donors funding him, according to Fox23. "Do you think that he needs to address that contradiction?" Collins asked Warren. "So look, really? That's where we're going to make the focus? So, Susan Collins has all this money coming in against her.
“看看，真的吗？这就是我们要关注的重点？苏珊·柯林斯的对手筹集了这么多资金。埃隆·马斯克介入了，投入了，我不知道，现在数字是多少，几千万美元？而我们要说，‘哎呀，特洛伊·杰克逊的某个数字可能搞错了。他可能收到了四位亿万富翁的捐款，’”她反驳道。她说她希望所有亿万富翁都退出。
Elon Musk has come in and put, I don't know, what are the numbers now, how many tens of millions of dollars? And we're going to say, ‘Oops, Troy Jackson may have gotten one of his numbers wrong. He may have gotten contributions from four billionaires,’" she responded. She said she wanted all the billionaires out.
“我不认为他们应该能够控制选举，”她说。“但要明白这一点：是共和党在疯狂地超过民主党的支出。而且这不是共和党的小额捐款者。是亿万富翁和一位万亿富翁，他们认为可以用自卸卡车装满钱倾倒进来，就能买下缅因州的一个参议院席位。”她接着指责唐纳德·特朗普总统。
"I don't think they ought to be able to control elections," she said. "But understand this: it is the Republicans who are outspending Democrats like crazy. And it's not Republicans who are small-dollar donors. It's billionaires and a trillionaire who think that they can just back up dump truck loads full of money, and they will be able to buy a Senate seat in Maine." She went on to point a finger at President Donald Trump.
“这就是这个国家这么多事情出问题的很大一部分原因。是亿万富翁和唐纳德·特朗普的内部人士在做所有决定，”她说。杰克逊的竞选团队没有立即回复福克斯新闻数字频道的置评请求。
"That's a big part of why so much is broken in this country. It's that billionaires and insiders for Donald Trump are calling all the shots," she said. Jackson's campaign did not immediately return Fox News Digital's request for comment.
“伊丽莎白·沃伦和特洛伊·杰克逊都是道德破产的伪君子，不惜一切代价想要权力。沃伦无视格雷厄姆·普拉特纳的恶劣历史，以推进她的社会主义议程，现在她对他的山寨版替身也在做同样的事，”共和党全国委员会发言人克里斯滕·钱奇在给福克斯新闻数字频道的声明中说。
"Elizabeth Warren and Troy Jackson are both morally bankrupt hypocrites who want power at any cost. Warren overlooked Graham Platner's horrendous history in favor of advancing her socialist agenda, and now she's doing the same with his knock-off replacement," RNC spokesperson Kristen Cianci told Fox News Digital in a statement.
沃伦在1月呼吁民主党在2026年中期选举和2028年大选前拒绝亿万富翁的捐款。
Warren called on Democrats to reject billionaire donations ahead of the 2026 midterms and 2028 elections in January.
沃伦接受采访时谈到了她当时在华盛顿特区国家新闻俱乐部发表的演讲，她在演讲中表示，民主党必须“切实证明”自己能够对抗“被操纵的体制”，这可能意味着要得罪富人。在演讲中，她将敢于正面迎战的民主党人与那些只是“礼貌地在变革边缘啃食”的民主党人形成对比。“所以，看，民主党需要搭建一个更大的帐篷，才能在2026年、2028年以及未来的选举中获胜。所以问题在于，我们该如何做到这一点？”沃伦对CNN表示。
Warren was interviewed about her speech at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C., at the time, where she said Democrats had to "credibly demonstrate" they could take on a "rigged system," which might mean upsetting the wealthy. In the address, she contrasted Democrats who will take on the fight head-on and those who "politely nibble around the edges of change." "So, look, the Democrats need to build a bigger tent in order to win in 2026, 2028 and beyond. So the question is, how do we do that?"
虽然她认为特朗普未能兑现承诺，但她承认特朗普至少敏锐地察觉到，普通美国人最大的诉求之一是希望降低基本生活成本。
Warren told CNN. While she said he has not managed to follow through, she credited Trump for at least discerning that one of everyday Americans' biggest priorities is wanting basic costs lowered.
