奥巴马重返竞选集会猛烈抨击特朗普和拉马斯瓦米 第44任总统严厉批评特朗普，后者当天晚些时候予以反击。奥巴马还抨击了俄亥俄州共和党州长提名人维韦克·拉马斯瓦米。
Obama Issues Searing Attacks on Trump and Ramaswamy in Return to Campaign Trail The 44th president sharply criticized Mr. Trump, who hit back later in the day. Mr. Obama also assailed Vivek Ramaswamy, the Republican nominee for governor of Ohio.
前总统巴拉克·奥巴马周六以尖刻和嘲讽的措辞猛烈抨击特朗普政府，称其特征是“现代以来未见的无能”。奥巴马在克利夫兰出席中期选举以来的首场竞选集会，对特朗普发起了近期记忆中最猛烈的攻击。他还批评了俄亥俄州共和党州长提名人维韦克·拉马斯瓦米的一则极具煽动性的竞选广告，称其体现了美国政治的粗鄙化。
Former President Barack Obama on Saturday attacked President Trump’s administration in searing and mocking terms, saying it was defined by “incompetence the likes of which we have not seen in modern times.”Appearing in Cleveland at his first campaign rally of the midterm elections, Mr. Obama delivered his most forceful attack on Mr. Trump in recent memory. He also criticized an explosive campaign ad from the Republican nominee for Ohio governor, Vivek Ramaswamy, saying it exemplified a coarsening of American politics.
数小时后，奥巴马在底特律谴责他所说的特朗普政府的“愚蠢”。当奥巴马在密歇根州发表讲话时，特朗普登上了他在佐治亚州佩里举办的集会舞台，形成了两位总统罕见的同屏对决局面。特朗普称自己的成就超越了前任，并虚假声称奥巴马在密歇根州对着“空荡荡”的场地发表演讲。
Hours later, Mr. Obama was in Detroit, denouncing what he said was the “foolishness” of the Trump administration. As Mr. Obama was speaking in Michigan, Mr. Trump took the stage at his own rally in Perry, Ga., creating a rare split-screen between the two presidents. Mr. Trump said his accomplishments eclipsed those of his predecessors, and falsely claimed that Mr. Obama had spoken to an “empty” venue in Michigan.
一直以来对公开批评特朗普持谨慎选择态度的奥巴马，用既私人化又直指要害的语言，谴责其共和党继任者对国家的管理。他在俄亥俄州表示，特朗普的第二任期相当于“两年的混乱、残酷和腐败”，认为政府高层官员“并非认真的人”，并指责特朗普将国家拖入了一场“没人要求的、在经济上痛苦的伊朗战争”。奥巴马用“你知道是谁”或“这位白宫里的家伙”来指代特朗普，称美国从未有过一位总统“在纯粹的骗取钱财方面表现得如此出色”。他还将特朗普描绘为与美国民众需求脱节，反而沉迷于白宫装修项目。
Mr. Obama, who has been selective about publicly criticizing Mr. Trump, condemned his Republican successor’s stewardship of the country in language that was personal and pointed. He said in Ohio that Mr. Trump’s second term had amounted to “two years of chaos and cruelty and corruption,” argued that top administration officials were “not serious people” and said Mr. Trump had led the country into an economically painful war in Iran “that nobody asked for.”Mr. Obama, describing Mr. Trump as “you know who” or “this guy in the White House,” said America had never had a president “excel so wildly at just straight-up grifting.”And he cast Mr. Trump as disconnected from Americans’ needs, engrossed instead by White House renovation projects.
“他应该去HGTV（家庭与园林电视网）当主持人，”奥巴马说，嘲讽特朗普专注于给白宫加装金色装饰。“他把白宫弄得像萨达姆·侯赛因开了一家芝士蛋糕工厂。到处都是金色。”特朗普周六在佛罗里达州提前投票，几小时后举行集会，他对记者说奥巴马是一位“烂总统”，并将这位前总统的言论解读为共和党实力强劲的信号。
“He should be on HGTV,” Mr. Obama said, ridiculing Mr. Trump’s focus on applying gold trimmings to the White House. “He’s got the White House looking like Saddam Hussein opened a Cheesecake Factory. Just gold everywhere.”Mr. Trump, who voted early in Florida on Saturday hours before his rally, told reporters that Mr. Obama had been a “lousy president” and cast the former president’s remarks as a signal of Republicans’ strength.
“我们打败了他们，”特朗普说，指的是他在2016年和2024年的胜利。“我刚开始时，共和党弱得多——规模更小、更弱。然后我参选了，我赢了。”特朗普和奥巴马长期以来关系复杂且紧张。特朗普于2017年接替奥巴马入主白宫，多年来一直散布种族主义谎言，称奥巴马并非出生在美国。特朗普经常用全名“巴拉克·侯赛因·奥巴马”称呼奥巴马，周六晚集会上仍如此。
“We’ve beaten them,” Mr. Trump said, referring to his victories in 2016 and 2024. “When I started, we had a very much weaker Republican Party — a smaller, weaker Republican Party. And then I ran, and I won.”Mr. Trump and Mr. Obama have long had a complicated and tense relationship. Mr. Trump, who succeeded Mr. Obama in office in 2017, for years promoted a racist lie that Mr. Obama had not been born in the United States. Mr. Trump regularly refers to Mr. Obama by his full name, Barack Hussein Obama, and continued to do so at his rally on Saturday night.
两位总统最近曾公开互批——尽管特朗普的批评通常更频繁、更猛烈、更直接。6月，奥巴马说他认为特朗普对他有“执念”。
The presidents had recently exchanged public criticisms — though Mr. Trump’s had typically been more frequent, forceful and direct. In June, Mr. Obama said he thought Mr. Trump had an “obsession” with him.
但他们在2025年前总统吉米·卡特葬礼上似乎也进行过友好交谈。仪式结束后，特朗普对记者说，他们“可能”彼此喜欢，只是“理念不同”。在密歇根州，奥巴马谈到共和党试图质疑民主党参议员提名人阿卜杜勒·埃尔-赛义德的爱国主义时，似乎影射了特朗普对其出生地的质疑；如果当选，埃尔-赛义德将成为首位穆斯林参议员。
But they also appeared to share a friendly conversation at former President Jimmy Carter’s funeral in 2025. After the ceremony, Mr. Trump told reporters that they “probably” like each other and just have “different philosophies.”In Michigan, Mr. Obama appeared to nod to Mr. Trump’s questioning of his place of birth as he spoke about Republicans’ efforts to cast doubt on the patriotism of Dr. Abdul El-Sayed, the Democratic Senate nominee in the state, who would be the first Muslim senator if elected.
“我们以前看过这部电影：我是主演，”奥巴马说，他在2008年和2012年总统大选中赢得了密歇根州。“我有长版出生证明可以证明这一点。这些伎俩对我不起作用。在密歇根州不起作用。对阿卜杜尔也不起作用。阿卜杜尔是地地道道的密歇根人。”在俄亥俄州，奥巴马与俄亥俄州州长民主党提名人艾米·阿克顿博士以及该州联邦参议员民主党提名人、前参议员谢罗德·布朗一同出席活动。
“We have seen this movie before: I starred in it,” said Mr. Obama, who won Michigan in the 2008 and 2012 presidential elections. “I’ve got a long-form birth certificate to prove it. This stuff didn’t work on me. Not in Michigan. It’s not going to work on Abdul. Abdul’s as Michigan as it gets.”In Ohio, Mr. Obama was joining Dr. Amy Acton, the Democratic nominee for Ohio governor, and former Senator Sherrod Brown, the Democratic nominee for Senate in the state.
阿克顿博士的竞选近日占据了全国政治舆论的焦点，此前她的共和党对手拉马斯瓦米播放了一则广告，邀请了阿克顿博士的母亲出镜。阿克顿博士表示，自12岁起她就没跟母亲说过话，因为继父被指控强奸了她。这则广告在共和党内部引发了分歧。
Dr. Acton’s race has consumed national politics in recent days, after her Republican opponent, Mr. Ramaswamy, aired an ad featuring Dr. Acton’s mother. Dr. Acton says she has not spoken to her mother since she was 12, after her stepfather was charged with raping her. The ad has split Republicans.
奥巴马猛烈抨击拉马斯瓦米播放该广告，称拉马斯瓦米似乎“没有底线”。
Mr. Obama assailed Mr. Ramaswamy over the ad, saying there appeared to be “no line” Mr. Ramaswamy would not cross.
“我们理应期待公职人员具备基本体面，”这位前总统说。“我不知道发生了什么，行为标准怎么降得这么低，竟然有人能播这种广告。”
“There’s a decency that we should expect out of our public officials,” the former president said. “And I don’t know what’s happened where the standards of behavior have gotten so low that somebody can run an ad like that.”
阿克顿博士也回应了这则广告，称拉马斯瓦米拿她的家庭悲剧做文章，是为了“挽救他摇摇欲坠的竞选活动”。
Dr. Acton also addressed the commercial, saying that Mr. Ramaswamy was targeting her family history to “save his struggling campaign.”
“这不会奏效，”她说，“因为同情心和体面依然重要。”拉马斯瓦米竞选团队发言人康妮·拉克在一份声明中辩称，奥巴马让美国“比以往任何时候都更分裂”，并暗示曾任俄亥俄州卫生部主任的阿克顿博士不具备担任州长的资格。
“It’s not going to work,” she said, “because compassion and decency still matter.”A spokeswoman for Mr. Ramaswamy’s campaign, Connie Luck, argued in a statement that Mr. Obama had left America “more divided than ever” and suggested that Dr. Acton, a former director of the Ohio Health Department, was not qualified to be governor.
在中期选举最后几天里，奥巴马和特朗普提出了截然不同的主张，双方政党正为争夺国会和州政府的控制权陷入苦战。
Mr. Obama and Mr. Trump are presenting starkly different pitches in the final days before the midterms, with their parties locked in bitter battles for control of Congress and statehouses.
特朗普一直在推动一个信息，即民主党人是危险的极端分子。他敦促选民“假装”他也在选票上，希望激活其党内基本盘。但民调显示，他的支持率已大幅下滑，共和党因物价高企而处于守势。“我本质上就在选票上，”特朗普周六晚在佐治亚州表示。
Mr. Trump has been pressing a message that Democrats are dangerous extremists. He has urged voters to “pretend” he is on the ballot, hoping to activate his party’s base. But polls show his approval rating has plummeted, and Republicans are on the defensive over high prices. “I am on the ballot, essentially,” Mr. Trump said in Georgia on Saturday night.
特朗普辩称，投共和党一票就是投给降税、减少犯罪和更好的经济。
Mr. Trump has argued that a vote for Republicans would be a vote for lower taxes, less crime and a better economy.
“我们正处于美国的黄金时代，”特朗普说，并补充道，“公司正涌入。”奥巴马表示，民主党将有助于对他认为已脱轨且脱离群众的政府进行问责。
“We’re in the golden age of America,” Mr. Trump said, adding, “Companies are pouring in.”Mr. Obama said that Democrats would help bring accountability to what he said was an off-the-rails and out-of-touch administration.
特朗普和奥巴马周六的亮相在风格上形成鲜明对比：特朗普的演讲冗长且漫无边际，而奥巴马的两场演讲则更加按部就班。特朗普一场演讲的时长超过了奥巴马两场演讲的总和。
The appearances by Mr. Trump and Mr. Obama on Saturday were striking in their contrasting styles: While Mr. Trump’s speech was lengthy and meandering, Mr. Obama’s two speeches were far more scripted. Mr. Trump spoke longer in his one speech than Mr. Obama did across two.
奥巴马深度参与了中期选举竞选，为候选人录制了数十条广告。但直到周六之前，他在竞选路上的时间仅限于春季与詹姆斯·塔拉里科在得克萨斯州进行的轻度助选活动，塔拉里科是得州参议员的民主党提名人。
Mr. Obama has engaged heavily with midterm races, taping dozens of ads for candidates. But until Saturday, his time on the trail had been limited to light campaigning in the spring with James Talarico, the Democratic nominee for Senate in Texas.
奥巴马在周末对佛罗里达州做出了最后时刻的背书，支持戴维·乔利，即佛罗里达州州长的民主党提名人，以及安吉·尼克松，这位左翼民主党参议员提名人，她将成为佛罗里达州首位黑人参议员。
Mr. Obama made late endorsements over the weekend in Florida, backing David Jolly, the Democratic nominee for Florida governor, and Angie Nixon, the left-wing Democratic Senate nominee, who would be Florida’s first Black senator.
奥巴马是最后一位在俄亥俄州获胜的民主党总统候选人，该州曾被视为典型的摇摆州，但多年来一直向共和党倾斜。不过，随着该州以农业为主的经济在伊朗战争和总统关税政策的重压下陷入困境，民主党对在俄亥俄州的中期选举前景越发乐观。
Mr. Obama was the last Democratic presidential candidate to carry Ohio, which was once seen as a quintessential swing state but has been drifting toward Republicans for years. Democrats have grown increasingly optimistic about their chances in the midterm elections in Ohio, though, as the state’s agriculture-heavy economy has buckled under the weight of the war in Iran and the president’s tariff policies.
在更蓝的密歇根州，民主党参议院候选人埃尔赛义德博士一直在努力巩固他在黑人和犹太选民中的支持。共和党人将他与前共和党国会议员迈克·罗杰斯的竞争视为翻转参议院席位的最佳机会。
In bluer Michigan, the Democratic Senate nominee, Dr. El-Sayed, has been trying to shore up his support from Black and Jewish voters. Republicans see his race against Mike Rogers, a Republican former congressman, as their best chance to flip a Senate seat.
民主党人在进步派的埃尔赛义德博士与温和派的众议员海莉·斯蒂文斯之间的激烈参议院初选后出现分歧。密歇根州的一些犹太民主党人表示，他们对埃尔赛义德博士对以色列的猛烈批评感到担忧，并在是否支持他的问题上左右为难。密歇根州的黑人和阿拉伯裔美国人社区之间的紧张关系也给埃尔赛义德博士带来了挑战。
Democrats emerged divided from a bitter Senate primary race between the progressive Dr. El-Sayed and Representative Haley Stevens, a moderate. Some Jewish Democrats in Michigan say they are concerned by Dr. El-Sayed’s fierce criticism of Israel and are torn about whether to support him. Tensions between Michigan’s Black and Arab American communities have also challenged Dr. El-Sayed.
在他晚间的集会上，较为温和的民主党人奥巴马先生提到了埃尔赛义德博士过去在其总统任期内表达的分歧。
At his evening rally, Mr. Obama, a more moderate Democrat, acknowledged differences that Dr. El-Sayed had expressed with his presidency in the past.
“你们知道还有谁不认同我所做的一切吗？”他在一所高中体育馆对现场观众说道。“米歇尔·奥巴马。”奥巴马先生暗示，将埃尔赛义德博士送往华盛顿与密歇根州的犹太民主党参议员伊莉莎·斯洛特金（已公开支持埃尔赛义德博士）一起工作将具有力量。
“You know who else doesn’t agree with everything I do?” he asked the crowd at a high school gymnasium. “Michelle Obama.”Mr. Obama suggested there would be power in sending Dr. El-Sayed to Washington to join Senator Elissa Slotkin of Michigan, a Jewish Democrat who has endorsed Dr. El-Sayed.
“想象一下阿卜杜勒和伊莉莎的强强组合，”奥巴马先生说。“你有一位穆斯林男子，又有一位犹太女子在美国参议院为你而战。这就是密歇根可以自豪的事。”特朗普先生计划于周日访问密歇根州。帕特里夏·马齐贡献了报道。约翰·尹是《纽约时报》驻纽约的政治记者。
“Imagine the power duo of Abdul and Elissa,” Mr. Obama said. “You’ve got a Muslim man, you got a Jewish woman fighting for you in the United States Senate. That’s something, Michigan, you can be proud of.”Mr. Trump is set to visit Michigan on Sunday. Patricia Mazzei contributed reporting. John Yoon is a Times political reporter based in New York.
