艾奥瓦州苏城——随着选举日临近，美国总统唐纳德·特朗普的忠实支持者在艾奥瓦州依然坚定支持他与共和党，但一些人对经济、国会僵局等挥之不去的议题日益感到担忧。
SIOUX CITY, Iowa — President Donald Trump’s loyal base of supporters still have his and Republicans’ back in Iowa, but some are growing concerned over lingering issues, like the economy and gridlock in Congress, as Election Day nears.
特朗普与共和党在竞选中打出的纲领是降低通货膨胀、制止“无休止的战争”以及修复他们口中被前总统乔·拜登及其政府搞砸的经济。但物价依然居高不下，伊朗战事仍在持续，导致油价飙升并在11月3日临近之际居高不下。
Trump and Republicans ran on a platform of lowering inflation, halting "forever wars" and repairing an economy that they say was wrecked by former President Joe Biden and his administration. But prices are still high, and the war in Iran is still ongoing, causing a spike in fuel prices that have stuck around heading into Nov. 3.
在特朗普于艾奥瓦州苏城举行的集会外，总统本计划在此为共和党艾奥瓦州联邦众议员候选人阿什利·欣森在一场竞争激烈的参议院竞选中拉拢支持，对手是艾奥瓦州州众议员乔什·图雷克。接受福克斯新闻数字频道采访的特朗普支持者仍然支持共和党，但也表达了希望变革能尽快到来的愿望。
Outside of Trump’s rally in Sioux City, Iowa, where the president was set to rile up support for Rep. Ashley Hinson, R-Iowa, in a tightening Senate race against Iowa state Rep. Josh Turek, his supporters who spoke with Fox News Digital still backed Republicans but expressed hope that change would soon come.
艾奥瓦州选民贝丝·菲特尔谈到特朗普时表示，她“并不赞同他做的每一件事，但到头来，他是为了我们而来的”。
Beth Fitzl, an Iowa voter, said of Trump that she didn’t "agree with everything he does, but in the end, he's here for us."
菲特尔对福克斯新闻数字频道说：“我是这么看的。他就像绿湾包装工队，对吧？他们可能陷入困境，但到头来总能扭转乾坤，我真的认为他会做点什么来扭转局面。我真的认为他会力挽狂澜。”查克·琼斯是一名退伍军人和紫心勋章获得者，他从明尼苏达州长途跋涉赶来参加艾奥瓦州的集会，他对政治中那种分裂的、部落式的性质感到沮丧。
"This is the way I see it," Fitzl told Fox News Digital. "He's like the Packers, OK? They may be getting in deep, but they always pull it off in the end, and I truly think he's going to do something to turn it around. I really think he's going to pull something to turn it around." Chuck Jones, a veteran and Purple Heart recipient who made the trek from Minnesota for the Iowa rally, was frustrated about the divisive, tribal nature of politics.
他告诉福克斯新闻数字频道，“这些政客，他们在一边为什么东西而战，其他人则在另一边为什么东西而战，但中间的桌子旁却没有一个人坐着。”
He told Fox News Digital that "these politicians, they're fighting for one thing on one side, and other people are fighting for something on the other side, but there's nobody sitting at the table in the middle."
特朗普选民透露他们对中期选举的最大担忧——并非不断上涨的物价。当被问及共和党人和特朗普在选举后若能保持对华盛顿特区的控制是否需要做出一些改变时，琼斯说：“嗯，我认为是时候让我们展现出一些不同了，因为人们对过去几年的现状很不满意。”
TRUMP VOTERS REVEAL THEIR BIGGEST FEAR HEADING INTO MIDTERMS — AND IT'S NOT RISING PRICES When asked if Republicans and Trump needed to do something different should they hold onto control of Washington, D.C., after the election, Jones said, "Well, I think it's time that we're going to have to show some difference, because people aren't happy with the way things have been in the last few years."
他说：“我们必须采取行动，果断地向美国公众证明你能把事情做好，并且做得正确。他们必须共同努力，而不是互相内讧。”欣森的参选是共和党在参议院试图守住的六个摇摆席位之一。她和图雷克正在争夺共和党艾奥瓦州联邦参议员乔尼·恩斯特的席位，恩斯特此前选择在去年卸任参议院职务。
"And we're going to have to do something about it and decisively show the American public that you can get it done and get it done correctly," he said. "They're going to have to work together instead of fighting each other." Hinson’s race is one of six toss-ups that Republicans in the Senate are trying to hold onto. She and Turek are vying for Sen. Joni Ernst’s, R-Iowa, seat after she opted to retire from the upper chamber last year.
鉴于特朗普在2024年以大约13个百分点的优势赢得该州，且在他每次参选时都拿下该州，他们的这场竞选与本周期的其他竞选一样，竞争之激烈令人意外。
Their race, like others during this cycle, has become surprisingly close, given that Trump won the state in 2024 by roughly 13 points and has won it each time he’s been on the ballot.
多恩·斯坦利是一位艾奥瓦州选民，她在过去的连续三场选举中都投票给特朗普，她仍计划支持他和欣森。她对福克斯新闻数字频道表示，图雷克并未“现身”艾奥瓦州，并指出他有“42%的时间”缺席州议会——图雷克在今年1月至5月的竞选期间缺席了261次投票。
Dawn Stanley, an Iowa voter who has voted for Trump in each of the last three elections, still planned to support him and Hinson. She told Fox News Digital that Turek hadn’t "showed up" for Iowa and noted that he’d been absent from the state legislature "42% of the time" — Turek missed 261 votes between January and May of this year while on the campaign trail.
尽管如此，她对共和党人最大的不满在于他们无力通过《拯救美国法案》，这是一项由参议院民主党人持续阻挠的选民身份证和选举安全立法。
Still, her biggest frustration with Republicans was their inability to pass the SAVE America Act, voter ID and election security legislation that has been consistently blocked by Senate Democrats.
斯坦利说：“我真的觉得这归结于《拯救美国法案》。我真的是这么认为的，因为我们不能让所有这些民主党人进入那里，并带进来所有这些将投票给那些人的非法移民，从而导致混乱。事实就是如此。”
"I really do think it comes down to the SAVE Act," Stanley said. "I really do, because we can't have all these Democrats in there and bringing over all these illegals who are going to vote for those people and have chaos. That's what it is."
她继续说道：“美国正处于混乱之中，我真的相信这是因为非法移民和正在涌入的伊斯兰恐怖分子。看看法国正在发生的事情就知道了。我的意思是，这太可怕了。我不希望我们的国家发生那种事，而这正是特朗普能够阻止的。这就是为什么我们需要尽可能多地引进保守派。”其他人则担心民主党人重新掌权，并担忧共和党人可能不会在11月3日出来支持共和党候选人。
"The United States is in chaos and I really believe it's because of the illegals and the Islamic terrorists that are coming over," she continued. "And just look at what's going on in France. I mean, it's terrible. And I don't want that for our country, and that's what Trump can stop. And that's why we need to bring in all the conservatives that we can." Others were concerned about Democrats regaining power and feared that Republicans may not show up on Nov. 3 to support GOP candidates.
从南达科他州赶来参加集会的库尔特对福克斯新闻数字频道说：“我们需要让人们出来投票。共和党人需要出来投票。他们待在家里的次数太多了。就我而言，这是一场必须与左翼赢得的战争。”
"We need to get the people out to vote," Kurt, who traveled from South Dakota for the rally, told Fox News Digital. "Republican people need to get out the vote. They stay home too much. This is a war to be won with the Left, as far as I'm concerned."
