特朗普似乎在周一通过表示在任总统“不会赢得中期选举”，并补充说他的共和党“对这次选举投入了非常强大的力度”，从而降低了支持者的期望。特朗普说：“通常，无论在任总统是共和党人还是民主党人，无论好坏，好的总统，伟大的总统，出于某种原因，在任总统不会赢得中期选举。”
Trump did seem to lower his supporters' expectations by saying on Monday that an incumbent president "doesn't win the midterms," while also adding that his Republican party "gave this a very strong shot." "Usually, whoever the sitting president is, Republican or Democrat, good or bad, good president, great president.
据美国总统称，民主党提名了“美国历史上最极端、最危险”的候选人名单。
For some reason, the sitting president doesn't win the midterms," Trump said.
参议院民主党领袖查克·舒默对特朗普的指控作出回应，称其在中期选举前的最后信息“可悲”。舒默在其 X 账户上写道：“唐纳德·特朗普在其非法战争肆虐、腐败加剧、其导致的通胀持续之际，发表了可悲的收官信息。”
According to the US president, the Democrats nominated "the most extreme and dangerous" list of candidates in the country's history. Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer responded to Trump's accusation by calling his last message ahead of the midterms "pathetic."
在中期选举前，美国据称对伊朗的卡什姆岛发动了袭击，消息来源为美国。美国中央司令部未正式确认此攻击。
"Donald Trump's pathetic closing message as his illegal war rages, his corruption mounts, and the inflation he caused persists," Schumer posted on his X account. Ahead of the midterms, the US carried out a strike at Iran's Qeshm Island, the reported, citing US sources.
尽管特朗普政府对与伊朗的谈判持乐观态度，认为有望在结束两国战争方面取得进展。副总统 JD·范斯早前表示，目标仍是防止伊朗获得核武器。
The US Central Command did not officially confirm the attack. This comes despite the Trump administration voicing optimism that the talks with Iran could lead to progress on ending the war between the two countries.
范斯说：“我们确实认为有一条可行的道路，但这真的需要坚定且可核查的承诺，确保他们不重建核计划。”他还将美国与伊朗的对话称为“良好”。
Vice President JD Vance earlier said that the goal remains to prevent Iran from securing nuclear weapons. "We do think that there is a pathway there, but it really does require a firm commitment and a verifiable commitment that they don’t rebuild that nuclear program," Vance said, also labeling the US' conversations with Iran "good."
关于代理总统的公投——这发生在决定特朗普任期余下时间国会控制权的投票将于 11 月 3 日进行之际。
Referendum on acting president This comes as the vote to decide control of Congress for the rest of Trump's term as president will take place on November 3.
数百万选民将前往投票站，生活成本和能源价格的飙升——这些是特朗普主导的伊朗战争的结果——将成为焦点。特朗普说，他希望选民在投票时意识到伊朗拥有核武器的风险。
Millions of voters will head to the polls, with surging costs of living and energy prices as a result of the Trump-led war in Iran taking center stage. Trump said he hoped that voters would realize the risks of Iran having nuclear weapons heading to the polls.
“如果我们允许伊朗拥有核武器，这个国家将永远无法以同样的方式运作，”他辩称。随着美国和伊朗重启谈判以结束两国间的战争，油价大幅下跌。中期选举在很大程度上被视为对现任美国总统政策的公投。
"If we allowed Iran to have a nuclear weapon, this country could never function the same way," he argued. Oil prices dropped significantly as the US and Iran renewed the talks over ending the war between the two countries. The midterms are largely seen as a referendum on the current US president's policies.
民主党预计将从共和党手中夺回众议院控制权，但参议院的争夺被认为势均力敌。
The Democrats are expected to retake the House of Representatives from the Republicans' control, but the fight for the Senate is considered to be close.
选举结果势必将影响两党在未来通往2028年总统大选道路上的策略。民主党因对特朗普和共和党的不满情绪而获提振
