特朗普亲手挑选的参议院候选人在南卡罗来纳州、北卡罗来纳州和得克萨斯州的关键竞选中落败，这显示出他权力的局限，也帮助民主党掌控了该院。
Trump’s handpicked Senate candidates lost key races in South Carolina, North Carolina and Texas, showing limits to his power and helping Democrats take control of the chamber.
败选包括几场重大冷门：安妮·安德鲁斯在南卡罗来纳州击败达琳·格雷厄姆，罗伊·库珀在北卡罗来纳州获胜，詹姆斯·塔拉里科在得克萨斯州获胜。
The defeats included major upsets: Annie Andrews beat Darline Graham in South Carolina, Roy Cooper won in North Carolina, and James Talarico won in Texas.
共和党人表示，特朗普对初选的干预分裂了政党，并葬送了稳操胜券的席位；而民调显示，在11月3日投票前他的受欢迎程度疲弱。
Republicans said Trump’s primary вмешательство split the party and cost safe seats, while polls showed his popularity was weak before the Nov 3 vote.
AI生成 华盛顿——美国总统唐纳德·特朗普要求选民假装他的名字出现在美国中期选举的选票上，并在美国一些最关键的参议院竞选中亲手挑选了共和党候选人。到11月3日夜晚，选民已经拒绝了他们。
AI generated WASHINGTON – US President Donald Trump asked voters to pretend he was on the ballot in the US midterm elections and handpicked Republican candidates in some of the country’s most consequential Senate races. By the night of Nov 3, voters had rejected them.
特朗普支持的候选人在南卡罗来纳州、北卡罗来纳州和得克萨斯州全部落败，而总统青睐的人选在密歇根州的早期结果中落后。这些失败让民主党掌控了该院，并暴露了特朗普政治权力的局限。
Trump-backed candidates in South Carolina, North Carolina and Texas all lost, while the president’s preferred pick trailed in early results in Michigan. The defeats handed Democrats control of the chamber and exposed the limits of Trump’s political power.
十多年来，特朗普一直围绕他的MAGA运动重塑美国共和党，主导初选对决，并排挤那些他认为不够忠诚或与他的愿景不一致的保守派人物。
Trump has spent more than a decade reshaping the US Republican Party around his MAGA movement, dictating primary matchups and pushing aside conservative figures he felt were insufficiently loyal or not aligned with his vision.
特朗普一再青睐忠诚者和意识形态盟友，而非在全州拥有更强人脉网络和经受过选举考验的建制派共和党人，押注他的背书能够克服他们的政治包袱。11月3日的结果表明，他未能说服更广泛的选民支持他的人选。
Trump repeatedly favoured loyalists and ideological allies over more established Republicans with stronger statewide networks and proven electoral track records, betting that his endorsement could overcome their political liabilities. The Nov 3 results revealed he was unable to persuade the broader electorate to back his choices.
最令人震惊的否定之一发生在南卡罗来纳州，该州自1998年以来从未选出民主党参议员，而特朗普在2024年以18个百分点的优势赢下该州。
One of the most stunning repudiations came in South Carolina, which had not elected a Democratic senator since 1998 and which Trump won by 18% points in 2024.
特朗普支持达琳·格雷厄姆，她是已故共和党参议员林赛·格雷厄姆的妹妹。但民主党人安妮·安德鲁斯在一场惊人的冷门中赢得了该席位。
Trump backed Darline Graham, the sister of late Republican Senator Lindsey Graham. But Democrat Annie Andrews won the seat in a stunning upset.

In North Carolina, Trump endorsed former national Republican campaign official Michael Whatley, who lost in a rout to former Democratic Governor Roy Cooper.
在得克萨斯州，特朗普介入了一场混乱的共和党初选，力挺深陷丑闻的州检察长肯·帕克斯顿，而非参议员约翰·科宁——后者是特朗普的盟友，且部分党内人士认为他在大选中是更稳妥的选择。
In Texas, Trump intervened in a messy Republican primary election to promote scandal-plagued Attorney-General Ken Paxton over Senator John Cornyn, a Trump ally who some in the party considered a safer pick in the general election.
民主党人詹姆斯·塔拉里科在11月3日晚轻松获胜，为民主党赢得了一个自1988年以来未曾赢得的席位。
Democrat James Talarico glided to a victory on the night of Nov 3, delivering Democrats a seat the party had not won since 1988.
在密歇根州，特朗普的选择、前联邦众议员迈克·罗杰斯在一场尚未宣布结果的竞选中落后于民主党人阿卜杜勒·埃尔-赛义德。埃尔-赛义德将成为首位在参议院任职的穆斯林。
Former US Representative Mike Rogers, Trump’s choice in Michigan, trailed Democrat Abdul El-Sayed in an uncalled race. El-Sayed would be the first Muslim to serve in the Senate.
这些失利发生之际，据路透/益普索民调显示，特朗普在11月3日投票前的支持率，甚至低于2021年1月6日美国国会大厦遭袭击事件后的水平。
The losses came as Trump’s popularity was lower heading into the Nov 3 vote than in the aftermath of the January 6, 2021, attack on the US Capitol, according to Reuters/Ipsos polls.
这加剧了共和党内部的担忧，即这位将党重塑为围绕其个人的总统，已成为该党的累赘。
That helped fuel concerns among Republicans that the president had become a drag on the party he remade around himself.
“这是一场‘特朗普地震’，”资深共和党策略师道格·海耶表示，并指出选民对关税和伊朗战争导致的高物价感到沮丧。“特朗普花了一年时间告诉选民什么对他来说重要，而不是对他们重要。”随着选举结果陆续出炉，特朗普表现出强硬姿态。
“This is a Trump Quake,” said Doug Heye, a veteran Republican strategist, pointing to voter frustration over high prices caused by tariffs and the war in Iran. “Trump spent the year telling voters what was important to him, not to them.”Trump struck a defiant tone as election returns arrived.
“我不在选票上，如果我在，我们会以压倒性优势获胜！”特朗普在11月3日晚在社交媒体上发文称。
“I wasn’t on the Ballot and if I was, we would have won IN A LANDSLIDE!”Trump wrote in a social media post on the night of Nov 3.
一名白宫官员在要求匿名的情况下表示，特朗普“在推广选票上的许多候选人方面，做得比候选人自己还要好”。
One White House official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said Trump “did a better job promoting many of the candidates on the ballot than the candidates did themselves”.
另一名白宫高级官员同样要求匿名，告诉路透社，政府早在六周前就有民调数据显示共和党将失去联邦众议院和参议院的控制权，随后特朗普开启为期一个月的全国竞选行动，试图挽救共和党的前景。“白白送掉了那个席位”一些独立分析人士表示，美国参议院的失利尤其带有特朗普的印记。
A senior White House official, also speaking anonymously, told Reuters the administration had polling data as far back as six weeks ago showing Republicans would lose both the US House of Representatives and US Senate, and Trump embarked on a month-long nationwide campaign to try to salvage Republicans’ prospects. ‘Gave that seat away’
美利坚大学教授托马斯·卡恩表示，总统对得克萨斯州共和党初选的干预让本党丢掉了一个稳操胜券的席位，他认为，如果提名参议员约翰·科宁，“共和党人本可以稳赢”。卡恩说，北卡罗来纳州是另一个明显的例子。
Some independent analysts said the US Senate losses bore Trump’s fingerprints specifically. Thomas Kahn, a professor at American University, said the president’s intervention in the Texas Republican primary had cost his party a safe seat, arguing that a nomination for Senator John Cornyn “would have been a slam dunk for Republicans to win”.
共和党现任参议员汤姆·蒂利斯曾在2025年表示，在与特朗普公开决裂后，他将不再寻求连任。此前蒂利斯对总统税收与支出法案中的医疗补助削减表示反对，特朗普随即威胁要支持一名初选挑战者与他竞争。
North Carolina, Kahn said, was another clear case. The Republican incumbent senator, Thom Tillis, said he would not seek re-election in 2025 after a public split with Trump, who threatened to back a primary challenger against him after Tillis balked at Medicaid cuts in the president’s tax-and-spending bill.
“他实际上把那个席位拱手让给了民主党人，”卡恩说。“如果汤姆·蒂利斯竞选连任，罗伊·库珀就不会参选。”前北卡罗来纳州州长、共和党人帕特·麦克罗里表示，特朗普对本党初选的干预在一个又一个州造成共和党人分裂。
“He essentially gave that seat away to Democrats,” Kahn said. “Roy Cooper would not have run if Thom Tillis had run for re-election.”Former North Carolina Governor Pat McCrory, a Republican, said Trump’s interventions in his party’s primaries had divided Republicans in state after state.
麦克罗里说，在南卡罗来纳州，总统与两名当地国会议员对着干，这场争斗“确实分裂了党”——在他看来，这是一个总统把政治资本消耗在自己阵营身上的例子。
In South Carolina, McCrory said, the president went against two local congressmen, a fight that “really divided the party” – an example, in his telling, of a president spending his political capital against his own side.
麦克罗里最尖锐的批评针对的是特朗普与那些构成其支持基础的选民之间的联系。
McCrory’s sharpest criticism was aimed at Trump’s connection with the voters who built his coalition.
“我认为特朗普总统最大的优势是他与工人阶级民众有着平易近人的共通之处，”麦克罗里说。“他丢掉了这项本领。为了国家利益，他最好重新找回这项本领。”路透社
“I think President Trump’s greatest strength was he had a common touch with the working class people,” McCrory said. “He lost that skill. He better regain that skill for the good of the country.”REUTERS
