在今天的节目中，Monica Alba 和 Garrett Haake 深入探讨了唐纳德·特朗普总统竞选日程中最后时刻的变动。此外，Megan Brand 将带来阿拉斯加参议院竞选的最新进展。——Adam Wollner特朗普在竞选最后几天调整集会策略文/Monica Alba 和 Garrett Haake据两名白宫官员和一位共和党消息人士透露，唐纳德·特朗普总统原定于周六在堪萨斯州塞利纳举行的集会已被取消。
In today’s edition, Monica Alba and Garrett Haake dig into a last-minute shift in President Donald Trump’s packed campaign schedule. Plus, Megan Brand has the latest on the Alaska Senate saga. — Adam Wollner Trump shifts rally strategy in the campaign’s final days By Monica Alba and Garrett Haake President Donald Trump’s rally in Salina, Kansas, on Saturday has been canceled, according to two White House officials and a GOP source.
他原定于中午在当地机场举行活动，但该活动不再举行。相反，白宫官员表示，总统计划在现在到周二之间举行“20多场”电话集会。
He had been scheduled to hold a midday event at the regional airport, but that is no longer happening. Instead, the president is aiming to hold “more than 20” tele-rallies between now and Tuesday, the White House officials said.
这是一个显著的策略转变。直到现在，特朗普一直认为他的亲自造势提升了共和党候选人的投票率，并多次吹嘘他本月的高强度行程。正如 Peter Nicholas 所指出的，80 岁的特朗普在大选日前的最后冲刺阶段以狂热的节奏进行竞选活动。截至周三，特朗普在 10 月的 28 天中有 22 天外出行程，总共造访了 19 个州。他有 7 次是在午夜后返回，在一次西部行程后，甚至在凌晨 4 点后才回到白宫。在此期间，他的集会发言平均时长为 1 个半小时。
This is a notable shift in strategy. Up until now, Trump has argued his in-person visits have been boosting turnout for Republican candidates and has repeatedly boasted about his heavy travel this month. As Peter Nicholas noted, Trump, 80, had been campaigning at a frenzied pace in the final stretch before Election Day. As of Wednesday, Trump had traveled on 22 of 28 days in October, appearing in a total of 19 states. He returned after midnight seven different times and, after a Western swing, got back to the White House after 4 a.m. And his rally remarks over the period averaged 1 ½ hours.
据其中一名官员称，目前尚未决定特朗普是否保留周日在爱荷华州杜比克的集会。他们将这一日程变动描述为“广撒网式做法”，旨在冲刺阶段覆盖尽可能多的竞争激烈的选战。
No decision has been made yet on whether Trump will keep his Dubuque, Iowa, rally on Sunday, according to one of the officials. They described this change in schedule as a “shotgun approach” to hitting as many competitive races as possible in the homestretch.
“特朗普总统将继续通过大选日前的 20 多场电话集会，直接与全美美国民众联系。这些活动让他有机会强调其政绩，并将影响力扩展到全国，”一名白宫官员表示。
“President Trump will continue connecting directly with Americans nationwide through more than 20 tele-rallies before Election Day. These events give him the opportunity to highlight his accomplishments and expand his reach across the country,” one of the White House officials said.
据这位共和党消息人士称，对特朗普露面的需求“疯狂”至极，他的电话因请求举办电话集会而“响个不停”。
The demand for Trump’s presence has been “insane,” according to the GOP source, and his phone has been “ringing off the hook” with requests for tele-rallies.
因此，在“随着选情持续收紧，最大限度地扩大他在摇摆州的影响力”的最后冲刺阶段，共和党人正在调整策略，以应对总统最宝贵的资源——他的时间，该消息人士补充说。特朗普还计划明天前往佛罗里达州代托纳比奇。今天，特朗普在南卡罗来纳州为共和党参议员达琳·格雷厄姆举行集会，她正面临与民主党人安妮·安德鲁斯一场比预期更为艰难的选战。
So Republicans are adjusting their approach to the president’s most precious resource — his time — in the final sprint to “maximize his reach in battleground states as races continue to tighten,” the source added. Trump is also scheduled to go to Daytona Beach, Florida, tomorrow. Today, Trump rallied in South Carolina for Republican Sen. Darline Graham, who is facing a tougher-than-expected race against Democrat Annie Andrews.
阿拉斯加州长下令调查佩尔托拉竞选团队 作者：梅根·布兰德阿拉斯加共和党州长迈克·邓利维宣布，他下令对民主党人玛丽·佩尔托拉的参议院竞选活动展开调查。此前有报道称，该竞选团队与盟友合作，招募了一名与共和党参议员丹·沙利文同名的人作为候选人，以图分散他的选票。邓利维在X平台上表示，公共安全部将设法确定“这一图谋是否违反了阿拉斯加州法律，以及是否有必要提起刑事指控或民事诉讼”。
Alaska governor orders investigation into Peltola campaign By Megan Brand Alaska GOP Gov. Mike Dunleavy announced that he is ordering an investigation into Democrat Mary Peltola’s Senate campaign after a report that it worked with allies to recruit a candidate with the same name as Republican Sen. Dan Sullivan in an effort to dilute his votes. The Department of Public Safety will seek to determine “whether this scheme violated Alaska’s laws and whether criminal charges or civil action are warranted,” Dunleavy said on X. “The evidence will determine what happens next.”
“证据将决定接下来会发生什么。”邓利维将《纽约时报》周三一篇重磅报道所披露的内容称为“令人不安的新证据”，并表示“任何被发现违法的个人或组织都必须被追究责任”。唐纳德·特朗普总统今天还对共和党人是否会让佩尔托拉在赢得选举后就任表示怀疑。当一名记者问特朗普，他是否认为共和党人应该在佩尔托拉获胜的情况下拒绝让她就任时，特朗普说：“你们得看看会发生什么。”
Dunleavy referred to Wednesday’s revelations from a bombshell New York Times report as “disturbing new evidence” and said that “anyone or any organization found to have broken the law must be held accountable.”President Donald Trump also cast doubt today on whether Republicans would seat Peltola if she wins her race. Asked by a reporter whether he thought Republicans should refuse to seat Peltola if she wins, Trump said, “You’re going to have to see what happens.”
他还说，“很难相信她甚至能被允许参选。”美国全国广播公司新闻此前报道，第二个丹·沙利文的候选人资格正受到阿拉斯加州和联邦检察官的调查，一个大陪审团于8月向与其竞选活动有关联的证人发出了调取信息的传票。司法部上周还提起诉讼，寻求在现任参议员沙利文落败的情况下阻止选举结果的认证。
He added it was “hard to believe that she could even be allowed to run.”NBC News previously reported that the second Dan Sullivan’s candidacy was under investigation by state and federal prosecutors in Alaska, and a grand jury issued subpoenas for information from witnesses linked to his campaign in August. The Justice Department also filed a lawsuit last week seeking to block the certification of the election if the incumbent Sullivan loses.
哈佛法学院专攻选举法的教授尼古拉斯·斯特凡诺普洛斯在接受NBC新闻采访时表示，“这类‘假候选人’策略在历史上曾出现过，而且通常不会引发法律责任。”他在一封电子邮件中说：“这些策略当然不光彩，但要注意，由于阿拉斯加采用即时决选投票制，它们在那里产生实际影响的可能性比几乎任何其他地方都低。在阿拉斯加，困惑的选民只需把两位丹·沙利文分别排在第一和第二位，这样她的选票就不可能被浪费。”他指的是阿拉斯加的排序选择投票制。→ 以上就是本期《政治 desk》的全部内容。
Nicholas Stephanopoulos, a Harvard Law School professor specializing in election law, told NBC News that “these kinds of ‘dummy candidate’ tactics have occurred historically and generally haven’t given rise to liability.”“The tactics are certainly unsavory, but note that they’re less likely to be impactful in Alaska, because of its instant-runoff voting, than just about anywhere else. In Alaska, a confused voter just has to rank both Dan Sullivans 1-2, and then there’s no possibility of wasting her vote,” he said in an email, referring to Alaska’s ranked-choice voting.→ That’s all From the Politics Desk for now.
