特朗普总统在密歇根州周日的一场集会上表示，进步派民主党人、众议员亚历山德里娅·奥卡西奥-科尔特斯（纽约州）并不怎么“烦”他。
President Trump said progressive Democratic firebrand Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (N.Y.) doesn’t “bug” him much at a Sunday rally in Michigan.
在批评众议员伊尔汗·奥马尔（民主党-密歇根州）——总统的常见对手——的同时，特朗普对奥卡西奥-科尔特斯语气更为积极。奥卡西奥-科尔特斯是一位人气颇高的民主党人，也是2028年总统选举的潜在候选人。她是美国民主社会主义者组织的成员，也是参议员伯尼·桑德斯（独立人士-佛蒙特州）的盟友，一直奔走全国为民主党人助选，并批评特朗普及其政府。
While criticizing Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Mich.), a common foe for the president, Trump struck a more positive tone on Ocasio-Cortez, a popular Democrat and potential 2028 presidential candidate. Ocasio-Cortez is a member of the Democratic Socialists of America and ally to Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) who has been traveling across the country campaigning for Democrats and criticizing Trump and his administration.
“不知怎么的，我并不太介意AOC，”特朗普用奥卡西奥-科尔特斯的昵称说道。“我不知道为什么，她不太烦我。”一些民主党人希望借助纽约市市长佐赫兰·马姆达尼（民主党）等进步派人士的势头和人气，将奥卡西奥-科尔特斯视为潜在的总统候选人。她曾表示，将在中期选举后权衡是否竞选总统，但她暗示2028年可能是她竞选总统唯一可行的窗口，这番表态曾登上头条。
“Somehow I don’t mind AOC that much,” Trump said, using Ocasio-Cortez’s nickname. “I don’t know why, she doesn’t bug me too much.”Ocasio-Cortez is seen as a potential presidential candidate by Democrats looking to capitalize on the momentum and popularity of progressives like New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani (D). She has said she will weigh whether or not to run for president after the midterm elections but made headlines when she indicated that 2028 might be her one plausible window for a presidential run.
“有些人提出一种观点，认为这是一个非常独特的政治窗口，而且在政治中，往往你只有一次机会，”奥卡西奥-科尔特斯对《纽约时报》说。“而你不会——总的来说，在生活中——生活不会等你准备好才发生事情。有时候生活只是替你让事情就绪。”这位纽约州议员在考虑竞选白宫的知名民主党人中民调一直名列前茅，她的决定可能改变2028年选战的格局。
“There’s an argument that some make that this is a very unique political window and, oftentimes in politics, you do only get one shot,” Ocasio-Cortez told The New York Times. “And you don’t — and just in life in general — life doesn’t wait for you to be ready for things. Sometimes life just makes things ready for you.”The New York lawmaker has consistently polled strongly among the top Democrats weighing a run for the White House and her decision could change the makeup of the 2028 race.
《纽约时报》与锡耶纳学院10月中旬进行的一项民调发现，6%的受访者会在初选中投票给奥卡西奥-科尔特斯，使她落后于前交通部长皮特·布蒂吉格、州长加文·纽森（民主党-加利福尼亚州）和前副总统卡玛拉·哈里斯。
A New York Times-Siena poll taken in mid-October found 6 percent of respondents would vote for Ocasio-Cortez in a primary, placing her behind former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-Calif.) and former Vice President Kamala Harris.
总统职位并非奥卡西奥-科尔特斯唯一的选择。她也可以决定不参加总统竞选，转而挑战参议员查克·舒默（民主党-纽约州）的参议院席位——或者竞选连任众议员。
The presidency is not Ocasio-Cortez’s only option. She could decide to pass on a presidential run and challenge Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) for his Senate seat instead — or run for reelection in the House.
