德克萨斯州联邦参议员民主党候选人詹姆斯·塔拉里科在周一发布的一期播客节目中，似乎向唐纳德·特朗普总统伸出了橄榄枝，表示愿意在广泛议题上与特朗普合作。
James Talarico, the Democratic candidate for U.S. Senate in Texas, appeared to extend an olive branch to President Donald Trump in a podcast released Monday, expressing a willingness to work with Trump on a wide range of issues. "I would love, as the next U.S. senator from Texas, to work with Donald Trump to actually fulfill some of the promise of his political project," Talarico told Steve Bartlett, the host of "The Diary of a CEO" podcast. "The promise of MAGA was that we were going to transform this government so that it delivered for the people who have been left behind, the people who have been forgotten in this country.
“做为德克萨斯州的下一任联邦参议员，我非常希望能与唐纳德·特朗普合作，真正兑现他政治主张中的一些承诺，”塔拉里科在《CEO日记》播客节目中告诉主持人史蒂夫·巴特利特。
And there's still time to do that," Talarico continued. Talarico, who Trump has frequently mocked and criticized in the months leading up to the Texas state representative's crucial midterm contest against Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, explained that he'd love to work with Trump on issues like healthcare and housing.
“做美国再次伟大的承诺是，我们将改造这个政府，使其为那些被抛在身后、在这个国家被遗忘的人们服务。现在还有时间做到这一点，”塔拉里科继续说道。
"If the president wants to work with me or with any Democrat to expand healthcare access, I'm there. If he wants to make sure that every single kid in this country gets high-quality, accessible childcare, I'm there.
在即将到来的关键中期选举中，塔拉里科将对阵德克萨斯州检察长肯·帕克斯顿，而在选战前几个月里，特朗普曾多次嘲讽和批评这位德克萨斯州众议员。塔拉里科解释说，他非常希望能在医疗保健和住房等问题上与特朗普合作。
If he wants to tackle the housing problem — Donald Trump is a builder — if he wants us to slash the red tape in this country so we could build millions of new homes and ensure everyone in this country has a place to call home, that I'm there. I'll work with him to do it. I would love to do that," Talarico said. Talarico also indicated that a successful midterm election for Democrats could be a "rebirth" for Trump's presidency.
“如果总统想与我或任何民主党人合作扩大医疗保健覆盖范围，我义不容辞。如果他想确保这个国家每个孩子都能获得高质量、可负担的托儿服务，我义不容辞。如果他想解决住房问题——唐纳德·特朗普是一位建设者——如果他想让我们削减这个国家的繁文缛节，以便建设数百万套新住房，确保这个国家的每个人都有安身之所，我义不容辞。我将与他合作实现这一目标。我非常乐意这么做，”塔拉里科说。
"If the people of Texas, if the people of this country elect leaders who are going to check the president, I think it could be a rebirth for his presidency," Talarico said. SENATE CONTROL IS A COIN FLIP — AND DEMOCRATS’ PATH RUNS THROUGH TRUMP COUNTRY Talarico added that he hoped a Democratic victory Tuesday could be a "wake-up call" for Trump and his administration, claiming that he felt the administration should "reverse course" if faced with a Democratic supermajority in Congress.
塔拉里科还表示，民主党在中期选举中如果取得成功，可能会成为特朗普总统任期的“重生”。
Talarico's willingness to reach across the aisle comes despite months of Trump badmouthing him on social media and the president campaigning in person for Paxton.
“如果德克萨斯州的人民、这个国家的人民选出将制衡总统的领导人，我认为这可能会成为他总统任期的重生，”塔拉里科说。参议院控制权胜负难料——民主党的胜选之路穿越特朗普大本营塔拉里科补充说，他希望民主党周二的胜利能成为特朗普及其政府的“警钟”，并声称如果面对民主党在国会获得超级多数，他觉得政府应该“改弦易辙”。
Trump has taken to frequently referring to Talarico as "TalaFREAKo" in posts on Truth Social, calling him "unelectable" in Texas and disparagingly referring to him as a vegan, a charge which Talarico denies. Former White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt cast doubt on the authenticity of Talarico's intentions during a Tuesday morning appearance on "FOX & Friends." "I don't buy it for one second," Leavitt said. "This is exactly what the Democrats do in every election cycle.
尽管特朗普数月来在社交媒体上不断抨击塔拉里科，并亲自为帕克斯顿助选造势，塔拉里科仍表现出跨党派合作的意愿。
They are incredibly disingenuous. In fact, it's the one thing they are good at. They talk like the radical leftist that they are until they win their Democrat nomination.
特朗普在 Truth Social（真相社交）上的帖子中，频繁称塔拉里科为“TalaFREAKo”（塔拉“怪人”科），称他在得克萨斯州“当选无望”，并以贬损口吻称他是素食主义者——塔拉里科否认这一指称。
And then they try to fool voters by appearing moderate so that they can win their votes. But when they are elected, God forbid, if Talarico is elected, and we pray that he isn't after polls closed tonight, he will govern as a far left extreme liberal that he truly is," she continued.
前白宫新闻秘书卡罗琳·莱维特周二早间在《福克斯与朋友》节目中露面，对塔拉里科意图的真实性表示怀疑。“我一点都不信，”莱维特说。
"Just listen to his own words. Some of the things he said in the past, he said he's a Christian who hates Christianity. He said God is non-binary. He said he believes there are six genders.
“这就是民主党每个选举周期都在做的事。他们极其虚伪。事实上，这是他们唯一擅长的事。他们在赢得民主党提名前，说起话来像他们真实的激进左派样子。一旦拿到提名，就试图装成温和派来骗取选民的票。但一旦当选——万一塔拉里科当选，我们祈祷今晚投票结束后他不会当选——他将作为一个地地道道的极端左派自由派来执政。”她继续说道。
He said that the United States southern border in the great state of Texas should be like a front porch where everybody is welcomed, while James Talarico, we have that for four years under the Biden administration, and it resulted in the worst border crisis in American history. He wants to abolish ICE.
“只需听听他自己的话。他过去说过的一些话，他说他是一个恨基督教的基督徒。他说上帝是非二元性别的。他说他相信有六种性别。他说得克萨斯州的美国南部边境应该像前门廊一样，欢迎所有人，而詹姆斯·塔拉里科，我们在拜登政府的四年里就经历了这种情况，结果导致了美国历史上最严重的边境危机。他想废除移民与海关执法局（ICE）。他想开放我们的监狱。这不是一个会与特朗普总统合作保卫边境并继续驱逐非法移民的人，”莱维特补充道。
He wants to open our prisons. This is not somebody who is going to work with President Trump to secure our border and continue deporting illegal aliens," Leavitt added.
“这是一个会加入极端自由派民主党人行列，从事法律战和阻挠主义，阻挠特朗普政府继续推行的所有常识性政策的人。这正是得克萨斯州伟大的人民需要走出去投票的原因，”莱维特总结道。
"This is somebody who would join the ranks of the extremely liberal Democrat Party to engage in lawfare and obstructionism of all of the common sense policies that the Trump administration is continuing to pursue. And that's exactly why the great people of Texas need to get out and vote," Leavitt concluded.
塔拉里科竞选团队和白宫没有立即回应福克斯新闻数字频道的进一步置评请求。
The Talarico campaign and the White House did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for further comment.
