纽约——州长凯西·霍楚正寻求民主党不同派系的帮助,以推动她的竞选活动冲过终点线。
NEW YORK — Gov. Kathy Hochul is turning to the Democratic Party’s disparate wings to help push her campaign over the finish line.
霍楚周五和周日与纽约市长佐赫兰·马姆达尼一同造势。这位35岁的民主社会主义者与这位温和派州长同台亮相,旨在激发人们对竞选的关注,尤其是在他那些热情支持者中间。在未来几天里,众议院少数党领袖哈基姆·杰弗里斯——一位与纽约左翼激进派发生过冲突的建制派民主党人——预计也将与她一同造势。
Hochul campaigned Friday and Sunday with New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, the 35-year-old democratic socialist whose appearances with the moderate governor are meant to jolt interest in the race, especially among his fervent supporters. In the coming days, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, an establishment Democrat who has clashed with New York’s leftist insurgency, is expected to campaign with her.
州长的最后冲刺凸显了她在争取连任第二个完整任期时面临的一项棘手任务:团结一个因以色列、税收和公共安全问题而分裂的民主党。
The final campaign push by the governor highlights what has been a complicated task in her bid for a second full term: unite a Democratic Party riven by disputes over Israel, taxes and public safety.
“我们党内部总是存在分歧,但州长的才干在于她团结人们的能力。她建立私人关系,不在原则上妥协,”纽约州民主党主席杰伊·雅各布斯说。去年他因拒绝背书马姆达尼而与霍楚决裂。“我相信这不仅赢来了支持,还赢来了一定程度的喜爱,这对她有利。”
“Our party always has differences internally, but the talent the governor has is her ability to bring people together. She builds personal relationships, she doesn’t compromise on principle,” said New York Democratic Chair Jay Jacobs, who broke with Hochul last year when he refused to endorse Mamdani. “I believe that engenders not just support, but a certain amount of affection that’s been to her benefit.”
