距离中期选举不足两周，特朗普政府正在加大关于选民欺诈的警告力度，且未排除介入各州选举认证工作的可能性。
With less than two weeks to go before the midterms, the Trump administration is ramping up its warnings about voter fraud and is not ruling out the prospect of weighing in on states’ election certification efforts.
据报道，司法部（DOJ）周五向加利福尼亚州选举官员发出信函，指示他们识别该州选民名册上潜在的非公民，否则将“面临重大联邦审查”。此举紧随司法部上周对加利福尼亚州提起诉讼之后，起因是州和地方官员拒绝将其选民名册上的2万个名字与国土安全部因公民身份问题标记的个人名单进行交叉核对。
The Justice Department (DOJ) reportedly sent letters Friday to California election officials, directing them to identify potential noncitizens on the state’s voter rolls or “risk significant federal scrutiny.”This move followed the DOJ’s lawsuit filed last week against California after state and local officials refused to cross-reference 20,000 names on its voter rolls with a list of individuals the Department of Homeland Security flagged over citizenship status concerns.
加利福尼亚州州长加文·纽森（民主党人）周日在新罕布什尔州的一次竞选活动中指责特朗普总统“试图从字面上操纵选举”。“他想搞到我们的选民名册，”他说，“这简直是编都编不出来。”周四，司法部长托德·布兰奇在回答记者提问时未排除介入各州中期选举认证程序的可能性，理由是需要应对潜在的“末日场景”。
California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) accused President Trump at a campaign event in New Hampshire on Sunday of “trying to quite literally rig the election.”“He’s trying to get our voting rolls,” he said. “You can’t make this stuff up.”On Thursday, Attorney General Todd Blanche did not rule out intervening in states’ midterm election certification processes, citing the need to do so in a potential “doomsday scenario” when reporters asked him about the matter.
这位司法部长补充称，司法部“无意不当干预选举或州确认程序或认证程序”。一天后，司法部起诉以阻止阿拉斯加州核实其选举结果，理由是该州参议院竞选中有两名候选人同名可能会玷污结果。民主党人迅速抨击这一举动，称这是特朗普政府试图控制现任参议员丹·沙利文（共和党人）与前众议员玛丽·佩尔托拉（民主党人）之间竞争结果的尝试。
The attorney general added the DOJ has no intention “to improperly interfere with elections or the state confirmation process or certification process.”A day later, the DOJ sued to block Alaska from verifying its election results, arguing the fact two candidates in the state’s Senate race share the same name could taint the results.
布兰奇将于周日出席哥伦比亚广播公司（CBS News）的《面对国家》（“Face the Nation”）和有线电视新闻网（CNN）的《联盟现状》（“State of the Union”）节目，而加利福尼亚州参议员亚当·希夫（民主党）将出席全国广播公司新闻部（NBC News）的《会见新闻界》（“Meet the Press”）。非党派选举分析机构“决策台总部”（Decision Desk HQ）截至周六预测，民主党在今年11月重夺众议院控制权的几率为80%。但该机构预测参议院争夺将更为胶着，给予民主党在参议院获得多数席位的可能性为56%。
Democrats were quick to slam this move as an attempt from the Trump administration to control the outcome of the competition between incumbent Sen. Dan Sullivan (R) and former Rep. Mary Peltola (D). Blanche will join CBS News’s “Face the Nation” and CNN “State of the Union” Sunday, while California Sen. Adam Schiff (D) will appear on NBC News’s “Meet the Press.”Decision Desk HQ, a nonpartisan election handicapper, gives Democrats an 80 percent chance of retaking control of the House this November as of Saturday. But it predicts a tighter fight for the Senate, with DDHQ giving the party having a 56 percent likelihood of gaining the majority in the upper chamber.
民主党已开始为预期中的国会控制权易手制定计划，并权衡如果重获多数席位将如何应对特朗普政府。
Democrats are already putting plans in place for their anticipated takeover of Congress and weighing how they would confront the Trump administration if given back the majority.
特朗普周五对记者表示，如果民主党重新控制立法机构，他将“否决一切”。
Trump told reporters Friday he would “veto everything” if the Democrats regained control of the legislature.
“你否决、否决、再否决，然后他们会过来问，‘我们怎么才能把事情办成？’然后你达成一项协议，”总统说。
“You veto, veto, veto, and then they come and they say, ‘How do we get it done?’ And you make a deal,” the president said.
众议院议长迈克·约翰逊（共和党-路易斯安那州）已表示，即使其党派失去众议院多数席位，他也不会辞去众议院共和党领袖职务，他将出席福克斯新闻频道的《福克斯新闻周日》（“Fox News Sunday”）节目。多名在备受关注的关键战场州参选中期选举的候选人也预计将在周日的谈话节目中露面。
House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.), who has signaled he would not step down from leading Republicans in the lower chamber should his party lose its majority, will appear on Fox News’s “Fox News Sunday.”Several candidates running in closely watched battleground midterm races are also expected to make an appearance on Sunday broadcasts.
爱荷华州参议员候选人、联邦众议员阿什利·辛森（共和党）和州众议员乔什·图雷克（民主党）将共同出席美国广播公司新闻部（ABC News）的《本周》（“This Week”）节目。密歇根州共和党参议员提名人迈克·罗杰斯将出席《会见新闻界》，而德克萨斯州民主党州长候选人、州众议员吉娜·伊诺霍萨（民主党）将出席《面对国家》。
Iowa Senate candidates Rep. Ashley Hinson (R) and state Rep. Josh Turek (D) will both appear on ABC News’s “This Week” on Sunday. GOP Michigan Senate nominee Mike Rogers will join “Meet the Press,” while Texas Democratic gubernatorial candidate, state Rep. Gina Hinojosa (D), will appear on “Face the Nation.”
尽管俄亥俄州州长候选人未安排出席任何周日谈话节目，但共和党人维韦克·拉马斯瓦米有争议的竞选广告——该广告邀请了民主党对手艾米·阿克顿的母亲出镜——也可能成为这些节目的谈资，因为该广告在整周引发了媒体轩然大波。
Though Ohio’s gubernatorial candidates are not slated to appear on any Sunday talk shows, Republican Vivek Ramaswamy’s controversial campaign ad featuring Democratic opponent Amy Acton’s mother may also pop up as a topic of conversation on these broadcasts — as the commercial sparked a media firestorm throughout the week.
DDHQ 显示，拉马斯瓦米与阿克顿之间的竞争倾向民主党，领先约四个百分点。俄亥俄州参议院竞选中，前参议员、民主党人谢罗德·布朗领先共和党现任参议员乔恩·赫斯特德，领先幅度大致相同。
DDHQ lists the race between Ramaswamy and Acton as leaning in the Democrat’s favor by around four points. The Ohio Senate race places former Sen. Sherrod Brown, a Democrat, around the same distance ahead of Republican incumbent Sen. Jon Husted.
持续的伊朗战争引发的燃料短缺继续紧绷全球能源供应，并加大了对特朗普政府的压力，要求其在中期选举前解决油价上涨问题。
Fuel shortages brought on by the ongoing Iran war continue to strain global energy supplies and ramp up pressure on the Trump administration to address rising costs at the pump ahead of the midterm elections.
周四，总统签署了一项旨在降低抵押贷款还款额的行政命令，以应对借贷成本上升。
On Thursday, the president signed an executive order aimed at lowering mortgage payments amid rising borrowing costs.
该命令指示联邦住房金融局局长比尔·普尔特建立一个试点项目，在借款人满足特定条件后取消政府担保抵押贷款的保险费。此外，还设立了一个工作组以降低住房建设成本。
The order directs the Federal Housing Finance Agency Director Bill Pulte to form a pilot program to cancel insurance premiums for government-backed mortgages once a borrower meets certain requirements. It also establishes a task force to lower home construction costs.
此外，白宫周五宣布，在面临两党批评后，将取消对某些加拿大商品的关税，此举正值 11 月 3 日前夕。
Additionally, the White House announced Friday it was lifting tariffs on certain Canadian goods after these economic policies faced bipartisan criticism ahead of Nov. 3.
《纽约时报》周三报道称，美以军方已制定在中期选举后实施打击的计划。双方于 2 月 28 日发动了这场冲突的初始打击。与此同时，周五的一份美国情报备忘录显示，伊朗在海外袭击并杀害美国人的阴谋已进入“高级阶段”。在其他国际新闻方面，乌克兰官员周六宣布，星盾卫星服务在该国已恢复正常速度，此前据报道亿万富翁科技大亨埃隆·马斯克下令的一次有争议的降速影响了他们对抗俄罗斯的防御系统。
The New York Times reported Wednesday American and Israeli militaries had developed plans for strikes after the midterm elections. The two countries launched initial strikes in this conflict on Feb. 28. Meanwhile, a Friday U.S. intelligence memo signaled Iranian plots to attack and kill Americans abroad had reached “advanced stages.”In other international news, Ukrainian officials announced Saturday Starshield satellite services were back up to normal speeds in the country after a controversial slowdown, reportedly ordered by billionaire tech mogul Elon Musk, impacted their defense systems against Russia.
乌克兰总统弗拉基米尔·泽连斯基在社交媒体发布的声明中，感谢“所有美国人”以及国会、国务院和特朗普等合作伙伴。
In a statement shared on social media, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky thanked “all Americans” and partners, such as Congress, the State Department and Trump.
“速度现在已达到所需水平，”泽连斯基说。“修复工作在夜间开始，到今天上午，速度已经足够。这很重要：对我们的前线后勤、对防御喷气式‘沙赫德’无人机至关重要。”本周早些时候，俄罗斯表示愿意恢复与基辅和华盛顿的三方谈判。白宫周五还宣布，第一夫人梅拉尼娅·特朗普在俄乌边境的一座城市达成了一项局部停火协议。
“The speeds are now where they need to be,” Zelensky said. “The restoration began overnight, and by this morning, speeds were already sufficient. This matters: for our frontline logistics, for defending Ukraine against jet-powered ‘shaheds.’”Earlier this week, Russia indicated it was open to resuming trilateral negotiations with Kyiv and Washington. The White House also announced Friday first lady Melania Trump had secured a localized ceasefire deal in a city on the Russia-Ukraine border.
