得克萨斯州民主党籍当选参议员詹姆斯·塔拉里科周三表示，他已准备好与唐纳德·特朗普总统在边境安全、降低能源成本和削减住房监管等问题上合作。
Texas Democratic Senator-elect James Talarico said Wednesday he is ready to work with President Donald Trump on issues including border security, lowering energy costs and cutting housing regulations.
塔拉里科周二晚击败得克萨斯州总检察长肯·帕克斯顿后，周三在福克斯新闻频道《美国新闻室》节目中谈到了几个与总统潜在合作的领域。“像我认为有各种各样的问题我们可以共同努力，”塔拉里科说。
Speaking on Fox News' "America’s Newsroom" after his victory over Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton Tuesday night, Talarico discussed several areas of potential cooperation with the president. "I think there's a wide variety of issues that we could work together on," Talarico said. "Immigration is one of them.
“移民就是其中之一。我认为试图通过包含边境安全的全面移民改革，该给总统肯定的地方就要给肯定。他在保卫边境方面做得比前任政府好，”他补充道。
I think trying to pass comprehensive immigration reform that includes border security, give the president credit where credit is due. He has done a better job than the previous administration in securing our border," he added.
塔拉里科以超过十个百分点的优势击败帕克斯顿，他表示国会必须为想来美国的移民创造更多合法途径。他还表示有兴趣与特朗普合作减少住房监管，并指出总统有房地产开发商背景。
Talarico, who defeated Paxton by over ten points, said Congress must create more legal pathways for immigrants who want to come to the United States. He also expressed interest in working with Trump to reduce housing regulations, pointing to the president's background as a real estate developer.
“我也想和总统在住房问题上合作。他是建筑商，我们需要削减繁文缛节、监管，有时我所在的党派也要为此负责，以便我们能在全国建设数百万套新住房，”塔拉里科说。
"I also want to work with the president on housing. He's a builder, and we need to cut the red tape, the regulation that sometimes my party has been guilty of, so that we can build millions of new homes in this country," Talarico said.
除了住房和移民，塔拉里科还表示想与特朗普合作暂停联邦汽油税和柴油税，以降低燃油成本。
Beyond housing and immigration, Talarico also said he wants to work with Trump to suspend federal gas and diesel taxes to lower fuel costs.
“他和我都支持暂停联邦汽油税和联邦柴油税，”塔拉里科说，并指出此举将“立即让每加仑燃油成本降低18美分”。刑事司法改革是塔拉里科提到的另一个共同立场领域。
"He and I both support suspending the federal gas tax and the federal diesel tax," Talarico said, noting the move would lower fuel costs by "18 cents a gallon immediately." Criminal justice reform was another area Talarico said offers common ground.
“最后我想提到的一点是，我同意总统关于将大麻合法化的必要性的看法。并改革这个崩溃的刑事司法系统，”塔拉里科说。“这些只是我全心全意同意特朗普总统的一些问题，我期待着与他合作，为所有3100万德克萨斯州人服务。”塔拉里科还拒绝了在华盛顿寻求政治报复的想法，表示他的优先事项将是为选民带来成果。“我对报复不感兴趣，”塔拉里科说。
"Last one I'll mention is I agree with the president on the need to legalize marijuana. And reform this broken criminal justice system," Talarico said. "These are just some of the issues that I agree full-heartedly with President Trump, and I look forward to working with him for all 31 million Texans." Talarico also rejected the idea of pursuing political retribution in Washington, saying his priority would be delivering results for his constituents. "I am not interested in retribution," Talarico said.
“德克萨斯州人民昨晚选举我不是为了报复，”他接着说。“他们选举我是为了为他们兑现承诺，让他们的生活更轻松、更美好、压力更小。”
"The people of Texas did not elect me last night for retribution," he continued. "They elected me to deliver for them to make their lives easier and better and less stressful."
在塔拉里科获胜之前，特朗普曾背书帕克斯顿，而塔拉里科的胜利让民主党自1988年以来首次赢得了德克萨斯州的一个联邦参议员席位。周二晚上，塔拉里科在X上宣布了他的胜利，简单地写道：“我们刚刚夺回了德克萨斯州。”特朗普在选举夜接受福克斯新闻频道采访时，对几场竞选的结果表示惊讶，但也表示愿意与民主党人合作。
Trump had endorsed Paxton before Talarico’s victory, which gave Democrats their first U.S. Senate seat in Texas since 1988. On Tuesday night, Talarico announced his victory on X, writing simply, "We just took back Texas." Trump spoke with Fox News Channel on election night, expressing surprise at several race results but also signaling a willingness to work with Democrats.
“他们会送来一些疯狂的东西，我会否决它们，”特朗普说。“经过几个月的否决后，他们会出去，然后说，‘我们怎么才能把这些事办成？’然后我们会一起合作。”
"They'll send over things that are insane, and I'll veto them," Trump said. "And after a couple of months of vetoes, they'll go out, and they'll say, ‘How do we get this stuff done?’And we'll work together.
