特朗普总统将于周二在得克萨斯州与三位足球明星同台竞选，借助美国最受欢迎的运动助力，共和党正争分夺秒在中期选举最后一周动员选民投票，Axios获悉。
President Trump will campaign with three football stars in Texas on Tuesday, leaning into America's favorite sport as Republicans scramble to turn out voters in the final week before the midterms, Axios has learned. Why it matters:
重要性：特朗普试图动员那些在2024年助其重返白宫、但可能在自己不在选票上时不太愿意投票的低投票倾向选民。
Trump is trying to mobilize the lower-propensity voters who helped return him to the White House in 2024 — but who may be less inclined to vote when he isn't on the ballot.
新闻驱动因素：前大学橄榄球明星约翰尼·曼齐尔和科尔特·麦考伊，以及两届超级碗冠军丹尼·阿门多拉将陪同特朗普在拉伯克和科珀斯克里斯蒂出席竞选活动。
Driving the news: Former college football stars Johnny Manziel and Colt McCoy, along with two-time Super Bowl champion Danny Amendola, will join Trump for campaign appearances in Lubbock and Corpus Christi.
- 这些亮相将得克萨斯州一些最响亮的足球名字带上竞选路演，在一个该运动拥有庞大追随者的州。
• The appearances bring some of Texas' biggest football names onto the campaign trail in a state where the sport commands an enormous following.
- 阿门多拉在拉伯克的得克萨斯理工大学成名，曼齐尔在得克萨斯农工大学夺得海斯曼奖杯，麦考伊曾是得克萨斯大学的明星四分卫。
• Amendola starred at Texas Tech in Lubbock, Manziel won the Heisman Trophy at Texas A&M, and McCoy was a standout quarterback at the University of Texas. The big picture:
大局：近几周，特朗普已将足球作为其竞选停留的常设环节。
Trump has made football a recurring feature of his campaign stops in recent weeks.
- 他于9月观看了得克萨斯大学对阵田纳西大学的比赛，并原计划于本月初观看佐治亚大学对阵阿拉巴马大学的焦点战，后因飓风取消。
• He attended the Texas-Tennessee game in September and planned to attend the Georgia-Alabama showdown earlier this month before canceling because of a hurricane.
- 前NFL教练乔恩·格鲁登本月早些时候在俄亥俄州的集会上与特朗普同台，前佐治亚大学及NFL明星托德·格利随总统在佐治亚州的一个竞选停留点同行。
• Former NFL coach Jon Gruden joined Trump at an Ohio rally this month, while former Georgia and NFL star Todd Gurley accompanied the president on a stop in Georgia.
- 副总统万斯是辛辛那提猛虎队的终身球迷，上周在俄亥俄州竞选期间造访了该队训练设施。
• Vice President Vance, a lifelong Cincinnati Bengals fan, visited the team's practice facility last week while campaigning in Ohio.
- 共和党还在NFL和大学橄榄球比赛的广告时段投入数百万美元。
• Republicans are also pouring millions into ads during NFL and college football games.
他们怎么说：“特朗普有许多基本盘。足球是其中之一，无论大学还是职业，”一位顾问说。“反响很好。总统喜欢这种氛围。所以为什么不呢？”
What they're saying: "Trump has many bases. And football is one of them, college and pros," said an adviser. "The response is good. And the president loves the atmosphere. So why not?"
深层含义：足球为特朗普提供了一条触达年轻男性的途径，这群人助力其2024年获胜——共和党在中期选举中难以激活这一选民群体。
Between the lines: Football offers Trump a way to reach younger men who helped power his 2024 victory — a constituency Republicans are struggling to energize in the midterms.
数字解读：民调显示，共和党在维持特朗普在年轻男性中取得的增幅方面面临挑战。
By the numbers: Polls suggest Republicans face a challenge holding onto Trump's gains among young men.
- 根据塔夫茨大学的分析，特朗普在2024年在30岁以下男性中领先14个百分点。但上周发布的哈佛青年民调发现，在表示肯定会在11月投票的年轻男性中，民主党领先共和党26个百分点。
• Trump won men under 30 by 14 points in 2024, according to a Tufts University analysis. But a Harvard Youth Poll released last week found Democrats leading Republicans by 26 points among young men who say they will definitely vote in November.
