华盛顿——共和党看到了另一个刺耳的警示信号，于是请来了万斯。
WASHINGTON—Republicans saw another blaring warning sign and they called in JD Vance.
本月早些时候发布的一项民调显示，共和党候选人安东尼·康斯坦蒂诺在一个特朗普两年前以21个百分点优势拿下的纽约州农村选区落后4个百分点。这个长期被视为共和党铁票仓的席位突然显得岌岌可危。
A poll released earlier this month showed GOP candidate Anthony Constantino down by 4 percentage points in a rural New York district that Donald Trump had carried by 21 points just two years ago. The seat, long seen as a GOP stronghold, looked suddenly underwater.
据知情人士透露，共和党操盘手罗杰·斯通向白宫敲响警钟，并建议副总统到访该选区，以巩固“让美国再次伟大”基本盘，或许能挽救即将卸任的共和党众议员埃莉斯·斯特凡尼克的席位。随后，副总统安排在选举前最后一天前往该地。
Republican operative Roger Stone raised the alarm with the White House, according to people familiar with the matter, and suggested that a visit by the vice president could solidify the MAGA base and perhaps save the seat of retiring GOP Rep. Elise Stefanik. The vice president subsequently scheduled a trip there for the final day before the election.
这趟针对深红选区的临行前造势凸显了共和党正忙于防守，因为令人不安的迹象预示着可能出现大面积失利。
The late visit to a deep-red district underscores how Republicans are scrambling to play defense amid disquieting signals of possible widespread losses.
