共和党全国委员会（RNC）主席乔·格鲁特斯承认，共和党正面临选民投票率问题，且面临维持对国会控制权的巨大压力。
Republican National Committee (RNC) chair Joe Gruters acknowledged that Republicans are facing issues with voter turnout amid heightened pressure for the GOP to maintain control of Congress.
“共和党是否存在投票率问题？”NewsNation的克里斯·斯蒂尔沃尔特在《国会山报周日版》节目中向格鲁特斯提问。“是的，但民主党人倾向于提前投票。我们倾向于在选举日投票。我们预计全国各地都将出现大规模投票。我们知道我们的基本盘很有动力，”这位RNC主席回答。
“Is there a turnout problem for Republicans?”NewsNation’s Chris Stirewalt asked Gruters on “The Hill Sunday.”“Yes, but Democrats tend to turn out early. We tend to vote on Election Day. We expect large turnouts across this country. We know our base is motivated,” the RNC chair responded.
“如果我们的选民出来投票，我们就会赢。这就是克鲁兹参议员试图传达的信息。你不能坐视不管，以为不去投票站我们也能赢，”格鲁特斯继续说道，这很可能是指泰德·克鲁兹参议员（共和党-得克萨斯州）的警告，即“大规模民主党人投票”可能意味着共和党在11月3日遭遇“惨败”。
“If our voters turn out, we win. That’s what Senator Cruz is trying to communicate. You can’t sit back and think that we’re going to win if you don’t show up to the polls,” Gruters continued, likely referring to Sen. Ted Cruz’s (R-Texas) warning that “massive Democratic turnout” might mean a “bloodbath” for Republicans on Nov. 3.
“民主党人正在出来投票，他们很有激情，他们恨、恨、恨唐纳德·特朗普，”克鲁兹在周五播出的《泰德·克鲁兹的判词》节目中说。“如果选举今天结束，如果只计算目前已投出的提前选票，共和党将大败。”选举日前的最新民调显示民主党领先共和党，艾默生学院民调和CNN/SSRS民调均显示民主党拥有10个百分点的优势。
“Democrats are showing up, they’re energized, they hate, hate, hate Donald Trump,” Cruz said on a Friday episode of “The Verdict with Ted Cruz.”“If the election were over today, if just the early votes that have been cast so far are counted, Republicans would lose massively.”Recent polling ahead of Election Day has Democrats leading Republicans, with an Emerson College Polling survey and a CNN/SSRS poll both giving Democrats a 10-point advantage.
《国会山报》的合作伙伴决策台总部（DDHQ）预测，民主党夺取众议院控制权的几率为83%，赢得参议院控制权的几率为62%。
Decision Desk HQ (DDHQ), The Hill’s partner, forecasts that Democrats have an 83 percent chance of taking the House and a 62 percent chance of winning the Senate.
“这就是为什么总统每天都在外面像台不知疲倦的机器一样奔波。我们必须赢下这场选举，为此我们需要我们的选民在周二出来投票，”格鲁特斯补充道。
“That’s why the president’s out there every single day being an absolute machine. We have to win this race, and in order to do that, we need our voters to turn out on Tuesday,” Gruters added.
特朗普总统在全国各地举行了许多集会，为共和党候选人助选，以提高他们的胜算。
President Trump has held many rallies throughout the country campaigning for GOP candidates, hoping to lift their chances.
周四，共和党全国委员会宣布，特朗普将为19个州举行电话集会。格鲁特斯在新闻稿中写道：“全国各地的选民都想在大选日前听到特朗普总统的声音，而这72小时的冲刺将在最后几天提供巨大助力。”
On Thursday, the RNC announced that Trump would hold tele-rallies for 19 states, with Gruters writing in a press release, “Voters across the country want to hear from President Trump before Election Day, and this 72-hour sprint will be a huge boost in the closing days.”
