康涅狄格州民主党参议员克里斯·墨菲的助手周日表示，墨菲因中风正在住院治疗。
Chris Murphy is being hospitalized following a stroke, an aide to the Connecticut Democrat said Sunday.
墨菲的幕僚长艾莉森·赫维特在一份声明中说：“昨天下午，墨菲参议员在儿子的冰球比赛现场开始感到手臂麻木。他被送往当地一家医院，经检查发现他曾发生中风。”
“Yesterday afternoon, Senator Murphy started experiencing numbness in his arm while at his son’s hockey game. He was taken to a local hospital, where it was discovered he had experienced a stroke,” Allison Herwitt, Murphy’s chief of staff, said in a statement.
她补充说：“他已被转送至约翰·霍普金斯医院进一步观察，对治疗反应良好。医生对他的恢复情况感到鼓舞，他目前神志清醒、意识清楚，我们乐观地认为他将完全康复。”
“He was transferred to Johns Hopkins for further monitoring and is responding well to treatment. The doctors are encouraged by his progress, he is awake and alert, and we are optimistic he will make a full recovery,” she added.
墨菲被视为2028年总统大选的潜在候选人，近期一直在全国各地为候选人助选，包括最近在密歇根州、明尼苏达州和佛罗里达州的行程。他原定于周日参加新罕布什尔州的竞选活动。
Murphy, who is viewed as a potential 2028 White House candidate, has been traveling the country to campaign for candidates, including recent stops in Michigan, Minnesota and Florida. He had been previously scheduled to attend campaign events in New Hampshire on Sunday.
据一名知情人士当时透露，墨菲的工作人员于周六下午开始通知相关人员其住院和中风的情况。
His staff began notifying people Saturday afternoon of the hospitalization and stroke, a person told POLITICO at the time.
墨菲是最新一位在任期间面临公共健康问题的议员。前参议院多数党领袖米奇·麦康奈尔（共和党-肯塔基州）今年早些时候住院，并缺席国会工作数月。众议员汤姆·基恩（共和党-新泽西州）也曾不明原因缺席数月，他后来表示是由于抑郁症。近年来，墨菲是几位经历过中风的现任参议员之一。
Murphy is the latest lawmaker to face public health issues while in office. Former Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) was hospitalized earlier this year and absent from the Capitol for months. Rep. Tom Kean Jr. (R-N.J.) also had an unexplained monthslong absence that he later said was due to depression. Murphy is one of several sitting senators who have experienced strokes in recent years.
参议员克里斯·范霍伦（民主党-马里兰州）曾在2022年表示，他因轻微中风住院。参议员本·雷·卢汉（民主党-新墨西哥州）同年也因中风住院。时任参议员候选人的约翰·费特曼（民主党-宾夕法尼亚州）也在2022年中风，他后来形容那次中风几乎要了他的命。时任参议员马克·柯克，伊利诺伊州共和党人，曾在2012年中风。
Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.) said in 2022 that he had been hospitalized by a minor stroke. Sen. Ben Ray Lujan (D-N.M.) was also hospitalized that same year for a stroke. Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.), then a Senate candidate, also had a stroke in 2022 that he later described as near fatal. Then-Sen. Mark Kirk, a Republican of Illinois, suffered a stroke in 2012.
墨菲于2013年进入参议院，在他在2012年赢得参议员选举仅几周后发生桑迪胡克小学枪击案后，他迅速成为参议院内推动更严格枪支管制法律的主要倡导者。2016年，墨菲在参议院进行了近15小时的冗长发言，要求实施更严格的枪支法律。
Murphy joined the Senate in 2013 and quickly became a leading advocate within the chamber on stricter gun regulation laws after the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting occurred just weeks after he won his 2012 Senate race. Murphy held the Senate floor for nearly 15 hours in 2016 to demand stricter gun laws.
墨菲也是参议院民主党党团在外交政策方面的重要人物。最近，他敦促本党在制衡唐纳德·特朗普总统的策略上更加强硬。墨菲上周在中东研究所的一次活动上警告称，特朗普可能会在大选后试图重启伊朗战争。他还是参议院少数党领袖查克·舒默领导团队中的初级成员。在进入参议院之前，墨菲在众议院任职六年。
Murphy’s also been a prominent figure within the Senate Democratic caucus on foreign policy. More recently, he’s urged his party to be more aggressive in its strategies for checking President Donald Trump. Murphy warned at a Middle East Institute event last week that Trump could try to restart the Iran war after the election. He’s also a junior member of Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer’s leadership team. Before joining the Senate, Murphy spent six years in the House.
