密歇根州休伦港——尽管面临加油站汽柴油价格和超市物价高企的压力，但这片关键摇摆州的“让美国再次伟大”（MAGA）铁杆支持者依然坚定拥护唐纳德·特朗普总统。
PORT HURON, Michigan - They're coping with high prices at the gas and diesel pumps and at the supermarket, but the MAGA faithful in this key battleground state remain firmly supportive of President Donald Trump.
在与近20位密歇根州选民的交谈中，他们在苏必利尔湖畔的这座小城市排队数小时只为参加特朗普集会，选民们明确表示将在中期选举中继续支持共和党，并视所有民主党人为“社会主义者”。“他心系我们的最大利益。他热爱我们的国家，正在做正确的事让我们重回正轨，”来自密歇根州沃伦市的卡罗尔·莫坎对福克斯新闻数字版表示。
In conversations with nearly 20 Michigan voters who waited in line for hours to attend a Trump rally in this small city on the shores of Lake Huron, voters made clear they're sticking with Republicans in the midterm elections and view all Democrats as "socialists." "He has our best interests at heart. He loves our country and he is doing the right things for us to get back on track," Carol Mocan of Warren, Michigan told Fox News Digital.
共和党正努力守住其在众参两院微弱的多数席位，但面临着政治历史规律的挑战：执政党在中期选举年通常会失去席位。共和党还面临充满挑战的政治环境，持续的通胀部分归因于民调显示不得人心的对伊朗战争，以及特朗普日益负面的支持率。
As they fight to hold their slim House and Senate majorities, Republicans are fighting political history, as the party in power in Washington has traditionally lost seats during midterm election years. The GOP also faces a challenging political climate fueled by persistent inflation tied in part to what polls show is an unpopular war with Iran and Trump's increasingly negative approval ratings.
根据福克斯新闻最新全国民调，特朗普支持率为36%，为其在福克斯新闻民调中的历史最低点。但在自称MAGA选民中，总统支持率依然高达95%。
Trump stood at 36% approval in the latest Fox News national poll, his lowest level ever in a Fox News survey. But among self-described MAGA voters, the president's approval rating remained at a sky high 95%.
“我知道特朗普始终将美国利益放在首位。这正是我真正欣赏他的地方，”贝城居民詹姆斯·布莱克说。
"I know that Trump is always out for America's interests first. And that's what I really like about him," Bay City resident James Blake said.
来自玛丽斯维尔的琳达·塔格特称当前高物价是“短期阵痛换取长期收益……我们看到了长远目标并予以支持。”
Linda Taggart of Marysville called the current high prices "short term pain for long term gain.... We see the long term goal and we support that."
休伦港居民鲍勃·坎普表示，在前总统乔·拜登执政四年后，特朗普正让美国重回正轨，并指出“修复什么东西时，总是先变糟再变好。”另一位休伦港居民迈克尔·巴切勒表示，负担能力问题不会影响他在中期选举中的投票选择。
Port Huron resident Bob Kemp said Trump is getting the U.S. back on course following four years of Democratic control in the White House under former President Joe Biden, noting "whenever you're fixing something, it always gets worse before it gets better." Another Port Huron resident, Michael Bacheller, said the affordability issue wouldn't impact his vote in the midterms.
“我认为这是我们必须暂时付出的一点小代价，我想特朗普也是这么看的，我对此表示赞同，”他说。
"I think it's kind of a small price that we have to pay temporarily, and I think that's how Trump's, you know, putting it, and I can agree with that," he said.
当被问及是否因物价高企而责怪特朗普时，来自休伦港的朱迪思·特洛伊说：“是也不是，你知道，因为他在做他必须做的事。这导致，你知道，物价上涨之类的，但他是为了一项正义的事业而这么做，所以，你知道，这是意料之中的。”特朗普在集会演讲中宣称：“我们正在确保伊朗永远不会拥有，永远不会、永远、永远拥有核武器，”并以此作为他发动对伊战争的理由。这一论点引起了“让美国再次伟大”（MAGA）选民的共鸣。“他在伊朗把战斗带给了恐怖分子，”詹姆斯·布莱克说。
Asked if she blamed Trump for high prices, Judith Troy of Port Huron said "yes and no, you know, because he's doing what he has to do. Which causes, you know, prices to go up and that, but he's doing it for a good cause, so, you know, it's expected." Trump touted during his speech at the rally that "we are ensuring that Iran will never have, ever have, ever, ever a nuclear weapon," as he offered his reason for launching the war against Iran. The argument resonates with MAGA voters. "He's taken the fight to the terrorists over in Iran," James Blake said.
卡罗尔·莫坎表示，她不因生活成本高昂而责怪特朗普，“因为伊朗必须被解决。而且很长一段时间以来没人去解决，我也不知道还有谁会去解决，我真的认为必须把它关闭。”
Carol Mocan said she doesn't blame Trump for the high cost of living "because Iran needed to be taken care of. And no one else has done it for a long time, and I don't know who else would have, and I really think it needs to be shut down."
来自密歇根州克利奥的肯·冈内尔斯说：“我认为伊朗对本国构成了真正的威胁。如果一颗核弹在我们的主要城市之一爆炸，我认为我们中没人会知道后果……这个国家将因此遭受的后果。我认为那些人是怪物，我认为我们必须有一位敢于对抗他们的总统。”其他“让美国再次伟大”选民表示，虽然战争和经济都很重要，但另一个问题优先级更高。
Ken Gunnels of Clio, Michigan said, "I believe Iran was a genuine threat to this country. If a nuclear bomb went off in one of our major cities, I don't think any of us would have any idea the repercussions...that this country would suffer from that. I think those people are monsters, and I think we had to have a president that would stand up to them." Other MAGA voters said while the war and the economy are important, another issue takes precedence.
“我最大的关注点是移民问题。如果你非法滞留在这里，就指望会有移民与海关执法局（ICE）的人敲你的门吧，”伯特奇维尔居民史蒂夫·斯库滕说。
"My biggest thing is the immigration. If you're here illegally, expect a knock on your door from ICE," Burtchville resident Steve Scouten said.
斯库滕的老友巴切勒表示赞同。“我支持史蒂夫。我认为如果我能挑选一件特朗普真正应该为此而垂名青史的事，那就是移民政策，”他说。
Bacheller, Scouten's longtime friend, agreed. "I'm with Steve. I think if I could pick one thing that Trump should really go down for is the immigration policy," he said.
詹姆斯·布莱克强调了特朗普的“关闭边境”主张。他补充说，总统“还主张不允许男性参加女子体育比赛，这对我们来说是个大事。还有不给小费征税、不给加班费征税、不给社会保障金征税，这非常重要，尤其是对我家里的许多成员来说。”
James Blake emphasized that Trump's "shut the borders." He added that the president has "also has advocated for no men in women's sports, which is a huge one for us. Also with no tax on tips, no tax on overtime, no tax on Social Security, that's huge, especially for a lot of members of my family."
波特休伦居民罗兰德·德贝尔表示，她“完全支持特朗普”，因为“这关乎做美国人。这关乎我们的自由。这关乎我们的权利。这关乎我们的十诫，而这就是特朗普。”福克斯数字频道采访的所有“让美国再次伟大”（MAGA）选民均表示，他们不会在中期选举中投票给民主党人。朱迪思·特洛伊说：“我不喜欢他们信奉的许多东西。”
And Port Huron resident Rolande Debell highlighted she's "all for Trump" because "it's all about being American. It's all about our freedom. It's all about our rights. It's all about our Ten Commandments, and that's Trump." None of the MAGA voters Fox Digital interviewed said they would vote for a Democrat in the midterms. "I don't like a lot of the things that they believe in," Judith Troy said.
卡罗尔·莫坎认为，民主党人“不生活在我们其他人所处的同一个世界里。他们就是不，他们不为民众着想。他们想的是自己的仕途……只要能当选不择手段。”
Carol Mocan argued that Democrats "don't live in the same world that that the rest of us do. They just don't, they don't think about the people. They think about their careers... whatever it takes to get elected."
当被问及为何不考虑投票给民主党人时，詹姆斯·布莱克说：“我不搞社会主义那一套。我不认为那是条好路，而且我觉得民主党目前正朝那个方向走。”
Asked why he won't consider voting for Democrats, James Blake said, "I'm not in the business of socialism. I don't think that's a good way to go, and I think that's where the Democrats are heading at this time."
与此同时，史蒂夫·斯库滕透露，他“过去是民主党人”。“绝不再投了。他们太偏左了，”他声称。
Meanwhile, Steve Scouten shared that he "used to be a Democrat." "Never again. They're too far to the left," he claimed.
