众议院少数党领袖哈基姆·杰弗里斯将于本周末前往得克萨斯州,此前民主党人越来越有信心,认为由共和党主导的不公选区划分可能会在这个孤星州和佛罗里达州适得其反。
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries is heading to Texas this weekend as Democrats become increasingly confident that GOP-led gerrymandering could backfire in both the Lone Star State and in Florida.
杰弗里斯将与强尼·加西亚一同开展竞选活动,加西亚正在其中一个选区参与竞争激烈选战,而共和党人最初曾预计在这个选区能更轻松地拿下(此前该选区已迫使一名长期在任的民主党现任议员退休)。
Jeffries will campaign with Johnny Garcia, who’s running a competitive race in one of those seats where Republicans initially expected an easier pickup (after already forcing one longtime Democratic incumbent to retire).
总统唐纳德·特朗普也定于今天访问佛罗里达州,并于下周访问得克萨斯州科珀斯克里斯蒂,此时共和党人正对佛罗里达州和得克萨斯州的席位做最后的冲刺。一系列显示他们的候选人处于领先或与共和党人不相上下的最新民调,让民主党人倍受鼓舞。
President Donald Trump is also set to visit Florida today and Corpus Christi, Texas, next week, as Republicans make a final push for Florida and Texas seats. Democrats have been heartened by a raft of new polling showing their candidates either leading or running even with Republicans.
拉美裔选民(在两州选民中占相当大比例)的变化以及特朗普不断下滑的支持率,似乎正在推动民主党人在偏红地区展现出实力。
Shifts among Latino voters, who represent sizable portions of the electorate in both states, and Trump’s sagging approval rating appear to be driving Democrats’ strength in redder areas.
特哈诺音乐明星鲍比·普利多正竞选翻转一个在2024年向总统倾斜的、以拉美裔人口为主的得克萨斯州南部席位,他在接受《semafor》采访时表示,特朗普选民中存在“买后后悔”的情绪。
Bobby Pulido, a Tejano star vying to flip a majority-Hispanic South Texas seat that swung towards the president in 2024, told Semafor there is “buyer’s remorse” among Trump voters.
