前共和党全国委员会（RNC）主席罗娜·麦克丹尼尔周二表示，在中期选举前一周，民主党人很可能重新夺回众议院的控制权。
Former Republican National Committee (RNC) chair Ronna McDaniel signaled Tuesday that Democrats were likely to regain control of the House with a week to go before the midterm elections.
“我认为众议院，你知道，民主党人需要拿下三个席位，众议院很可能会落入民主党手中，”她告诉哥伦比亚广播公司新闻的梅杰·加勒特。“而现在所有目光都集中在参议院，但可以肯定的是，选情版图已经扩大，民主党人正信心满满。”根据决策台总部的最新预测，民主党有大约80%的可能性重新夺回国会下议院的控制权。民主党在参议院的优势较小，决策台总部认为该党重新夺得上议院多数席位的几率约为57%。
“I think the House, you know with three seats that the Dems need to pick up, is probably going to go to the Democrats,” she told CBS News’s Major Garrett. “And right now all eyes are on the Senate, but certainly the map has expanded and Democrats are feeling bullish.”The Democratic Party has around an 80 percent chance of retaking control over the lower chamber of Congress, according to Decision Desk HQ’s latest projection. Democrats have a narrower advantage in the Senate, with DDHQ placing the party’s odds at regaining the majority in the upper chamber at around 57 percent.
麦克丹尼尔曾在2017年至2024年执掌共和党全国委员会，她还指出，特朗普总统最近前往堪萨斯州、南卡罗来纳州、密西西比州和得克萨斯州等红州，这表明共和党在本轮中期选举中面临选情困境。
McDaniel, who oversaw the RNC from 2017 to 2024, also pointed to President Trump’s recent travel to red states like Kansas, South Carolina, Mississippi and Texas as indications of electoral trouble for Republicans this midterm cycle.
“我确信，除非有数据表明他需要在这些州花时间，否则你不会去这些州，”她继续说道。“他去过得克萨斯州多少次了？我的意思是，我们不应该在得克萨斯州花费2亿或3亿美元来保卫一个参议院候选人，所以事关重大。”特朗普周二进行了过去两个月来对得克萨斯州的第四次访问，在科珀斯克里斯蒂和拉伯克与共和党参议院提名人、得克萨斯州总检察长肯·帕克斯顿举行了两场集会。
“I know for a fact, you’re not in these states unless there’s a data point that’s driving him to spend time in those states,” she continued. “How many times has he been to Texas? I mean, we shouldn’t be spending $200 million or $300 million in Texas to defend a Senate candidate, so there’s a lot at stake.”Trump made his fourth visit to the Lone Star State in the last two months on Tuesday for two rallies with the GOP’s Senate nominee, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, in Corpus Christi and Lubbock.
总统的政治行动委员会“MAGA Inc.”已捐赠数百万美元，支持这位总检察长与州众议员詹姆斯·塔拉里科（民主党）的竞选。这位民主党人在整个竞选过程中也筹集了大量资金，本月早些时候向联邦选举委员会提交的文件显示，他手头现金近1000万美元。
The president’s political PAC, MAGA Inc., has donated millions to support the attorney general in his race against state Rep. James Talarico (D). The Democrat has also raised a significant amount of money throughout his campaign, reporting nearly $10 million in cash on hand in Federal Election Committee filings earlier this month.
塔拉里科在该州潜在选民中的民调表现良好，这引发了共和党人的担忧，他们担心他可能成为自1988年以来首位在得克萨斯州赢得美国参议院席位的民主党候选人。
Talarico has performed well in polling among likely voters in the state, raising concerns among Republicans that he could be the first Democratic candidate to win a U.S. Senate seat in Texas since 1988.
周二，在得克萨斯州的集会上，特朗普批评了这位候选人在移民和能源等问题上的立场，并对这名民主党人使用了他偏好的绰号“塔拉弗雷科”（Talafreako）。塔拉里科在同日于拉伯克举行的集会上对这些攻击不予理会。
During the president’s rallies in Texas on Tuesday, Trump criticized the candidate for his stance on issues like immigration and energy and used his preferred nickname for the Democrat, “Talafreako.”Talarico brushed off the attacks in a Lubbock rally held the same day.
“一个房间里竟然有这么多‘塔拉弗雷科’，”他对一群支持者说，随后宣布该州“已准备好迎接变革”。
“That’s a lot of Talafreakos in one room,” he told a crowd of supporters, before declaring that the state was “ready for change.”
