共和党美国参议员候选人肯·帕克斯顿本应在得克萨斯州地标阿拉莫进行他竞选活动的最后一搏，他的“有本事来拿”（Come and Take It）巴士巡游正是围绕该地标展开的。
Republican U.S. Senate nominee Ken Paxton was supposed to make the last stand of his campaign at the Texas landmark around which his “Come and Take It” bus tour centered: The Alamo.
但在周六——即选举日前夜本应举行最后一场集会的两天前，帕克斯顿似乎取消了这些计划。
But on Saturday, two days before his final rally would’ve taken place on the eve of Election Day, Paxton appeared to scrap those plans.
取而代之的是，他的竞选团队在周一增加了于康罗和艾伦举行的活动。康罗的活动定于上午11点举行，而艾伦的活动则计划于下午5点半在距离阿拉莫300英里的一家餐厅举行。
Instead, his campaign added Monday events in Conroe and Allen. The event in Conroe is set for 11 a.m., while the one in Allen is scheduled for 5:30 p.m., at a restaurant 300 miles from the Alamo.
帕克斯顿的竞选团队在其发布巡游站点的Eventbrite平台上列出的周一活动仅有康罗和艾伦两场。他的网站没有列出周一的任何活动。
The only events on Monday listed by Paxton’s campaign on Eventbrite, where it has posted his tour stops, were for Conroe and Allen. His website did not list any events for Monday.
他的竞选团队没有立即回应关于是什么促成计划变更的问题。此前，他的竞选团队也没有回应关于阿拉莫活动后勤信息的请求。
His campaign did not immediately respond to questions about what prompted the change in plans. His campaign also previously did not respond to requests for logistical information about the Alamo event.
帕克斯顿的竞选团队最初宣布其拉票行动时，曾表示他将在阿拉莫结束巴士巡游。他利用这一抵抗地标——尽管阿拉莫战役结果是得克萨斯革命中1836年的一次失利——向得州人阐明其最终诉求：“当他们找得州人的麻烦时，肯·帕克斯顿就会去找他们的麻烦。”管理该地标的阿拉莫信托基金会周五告诉得克萨斯公共广播电台，其并不知晓帕克斯顿计划在园区举办活动的任何安排。阿拉莫的规定通常禁止在园区内举行政治活动。
When Paxton’s campaign initially announced his get-out-the-vote push, it said he would end the bus tour at The Alamo. He drew on the landmark of resistance — despite the Battle of the Alamo’s outcome, a 1836 loss in the Texas Revolution — to drive home his closing message to Texans: “When they come after Texans, Ken Paxton goes after them.”The Alamo Trust, which oversees the landmark, told Texas Public Radio Friday that it was unaware of any plans for Paxton to host an event on the grounds. The Alamo’s rules generally prohibit political events on the grounds.
帕克斯顿与民主党人詹姆士·塔拉里科展开了不分高下的竞选角逐。帕克斯顿将自己塑造为一名保守派斗士，誓言要对抗“激进左翼”，以捍卫该州的保守派传统。他曾多次出席在得州举行、由总统唐纳德·特朗普和副总统JD·万斯领衔的集会，旨在激发共和党选民的热情。
Paxton is locked in a neck-and-neck race against Democrat James Talarico. Paxton has pitched himself to Texans as a conservative fighter who would preserve the state’s conservative tradition in defiance of the “radical left.”He has appeared at several rallies in Texas headlined by President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance, in a bid to gin up enthusiasm among Republican voters.
塔拉里科一直在该州各地进行自己的拉票冲刺，其巡游被称为“清澈的眼，饱满的心”巡游，以此向电视剧《胜利之光》致敬，该剧灵感来源于一本关于西得州高中美式足球的书籍。
Talarico has been crisscrossing the state on his own get-out-the-vote sprint, dubbed the “Clear Eyes, Full Hearts” tour in a nod to the television series “Friday Night Lights,” which was inspired by a book about West Texas high school football.
帕克斯顿的最后冲刺也伴随着其他取消和重新安排的活动，包括在埃尔帕索、泰勒、特克萨卡纳和米讯的活动，这促使民主党人宣称“帕克斯顿巴士巡游彻底崩盘”。
Paxton’s final push was dotted by other cancellations and reschedules, too, including events in El Paso, Tyler, Texarkana and Mission, prompting Democrats to declare a “Paxton bus tour crashout.”
塔拉里科周五在声明中暗指马斯克为帕克斯顿的竞选倾注了超过2亿美元资金，他表示：“没有人去参加肯·帕克斯顿的集会，所以他取消了集会，并希望埃隆·马斯克会为他买下这个参议员席位。得克萨斯州配得上一个能露面的参议员，而不是一个藏在巨额资金背后的参议员。”得州人需要真相。帮助我们报道真相。成为会员。今天就加入。选择金额或了解更多关于会员的信息
“No one’s going to Ken Paxton’s rallies, so he’s canceling them and hoping Elon Musk will buy this seat for him,” Talarico said in a statement Friday, alluding to the over $200 million Musk has poured into the race on Paxton’s behalf. “Texas deserves a Senator that shows up — not one that hides behind a pile of money.”Texans need the truth.
