特朗普总统周二晚间猛烈抨击得克萨斯州州长格雷格·阿博特竞选连任失败，指责这位现任州长是“RINO”，即名义上的共和党人。
President Trump blasted Texas Gov. Greg Abbott late Tuesday for losing his reelection bid, accusing the incumbent of being a “RINO,” or Republican in Name Only.
“如果得克萨斯州州长格雷格·阿博特没有在其政治生涯的最后六个月里变成一个RINO，他就不会输，”特朗普在Truth Social上写道。“他回到了他最初的套路，而那并不好看！”据Decision Desk HQ（DDHQ）预测，这位已连任三届的州长以较大差距败给了民主党挑战者、州众议员吉娜·伊诺霍萨。截至周三上午，伊诺霍萨领先7.4个百分点。如果阿博特获胜，他本将成为孤星州任职时间最长的州长。
“If Greg Abbott, the Governor of Texas, hadn’t become a RINO in the last six months of his Political Life, he wouldn’t have lost,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “He went back to his original formula, and it wasn’t pretty!”The three-term governor went down to defeat by a wide margin to his Democratic challenger, state Rep. Gina Hinojosa, Decision Desk HQ (DDHQ) projected. Hinojosa led by a margin of 7.4 points as of Wednesday morning. Had he won, Abbott would have been the longest serving chief executive in the Lone Star State.
这位得克萨斯州共和党人在担任州长期间见证了该州人口和经济的快速扩张，这在大选中成为他的一个政治问题。伊诺霍萨经常在数据中心问题上攻击他，而他后来在这一问题上采取了更严格的立场。
The Texas Republican oversaw a rapid expansion of the state’s population and economy as governor, which became a political issue for him in the campaign. Hinojosa often targeted him on the issue of data centers, which he later took a stricter stance on.
早在8月，在阿博特宣布暂停新建数据中心、等待州审计之后，特朗普称这是一个“错误”。
Back in August, Trump called it a “mistake” following Abbott’s announcement of a moratorium on new data center construction, pending a state audit.
在其他问题上，这位州长一直是总统和右翼的坚定支持者。在整个竞选过程中，他指责其民主党对手支持伊斯兰教法——一部穆斯林宗教法典——以及开放边境和为未成年人进行性别手术。
On other issues, the governor has remained a staunch supporter of the president and the right. Throughout his campaign, he accused his Democratic rival of supporting Sharia law, a Muslim religious code, as well as open borders and gender surgeries for minors.
阿博特还在其任内签署了全国最严格的堕胎禁令之一，使其成为法律。
Abbott has also signed into law one of the strictest abortion bans in the country during his tenure.
总统还点名该州其他共和党议员和评论人士为RINO，包括前布什白宫顾问卡尔·罗夫和即将卸任的参议员约翰·科宁（共和党）。
The president has also called out other GOP lawmakers and pundits in the state as being RINOs, including former Bush White House adviser Karl Rove and outgoing Sen. John Cornyn (R).
特朗普最终在参议院初选中支持了科宁的挑战者肯·帕克斯顿。帕克斯顿周二晚间以较大差距输给了民主党人詹姆斯·塔拉里科。
Trump ultimately backed Cornyn’s challenger, Ken Paxton, in the Senate primary. Paxton lost to Democrat James Talarico by a strong margin Tuesday night.
而当罗夫在得克萨斯州铁路专员竞选中支持民主党人乔恩·罗森塔尔、对阵其颇具争议的共和党对手时，总统在社交媒体上对他进行了猛烈抨击。
And when Rove endorsed Democrat Jon Rosenthal in the race for Texas railroad commissioner against his controversial GOP opponent, the president tore into him on social media.
得克萨斯州的民主党人自20世纪90年代以来从未赢过任何全州性选举，自20世纪80年代以来也从未在单次选举中横扫全州性选战。据DDHQ统计，这一局面在周二被打破，每一位全州层面的民主党候选人都以至少4个百分点的优势胜出。
Democrats in Texas had not won a statewide race since the 1990s or swept the statewide races in a single election since the 1980s. That streak was broken Tuesday with every statewide Democrat prevailing by a margin of at least 4 points, according to DDHQ.
