华盛顿——白宫周四向保守派团体发出警告：我们在盯着你们。在选民谴责特朗普总统及其政党两天后，政府采取行动，试图维系一个开始出现分裂的联盟。
WASHINGTON—The White House delivered a warning to conservative groups on Thursday: We’re watching you. Two days after voters rebuked President Trump and his party, the administration moved to hold together a coalition that was beginning to splinter.
负责与外部团体合作的白宫公共联络办公室，向3000多个保守派组织发送了一份备忘录，列举了特朗普任内的成就，并承诺阻止新近占据优势的民主党人推翻这些成就。备忘录以一句用黄色高亮标注的文字结尾。
The White House Office of Public Liaison, which works with outside groups, sent a memo to more than 3,000 conservative organizations that laid out a list of Trump’s accomplishments in office and pledged to prevent newly ascendant Democrats from reversing them. The memo concluded with a sentence that was highlighted in yellow.
备忘录称：“一如既往，我们正在监控贵组织的声明、新闻稿和媒体活动。”两个知名保守派组织的负责人证实收到了这份备忘录。
“As always, we are monitoring statements, press releases, and media engagements from your organizations,” the memo said. Leaders of two prominent conservative organizations confirmed that they had received the memo.
此前，共和党领袖和知名保守派人士公开指责特朗普的政策导致了选举失利。一名白宫官员表示，该备忘录旨在特朗普总统任期最后两年内保持保守派联盟的团结。
The memo came after Republican leaders and well-known conservatives publicly blamed Trump’s policies for the election outcome. A White House official said the memo was meant to keep the conservative coalition unified during the final two years of Trump’s presidency.
被问及置评时，一名白宫女发言人称，这封邮件并非威胁，而是动员外部支持者的更大规模努力的一部分。该发言人表示，公共联络办公室过去曾发送过措辞类似的信息。
Asked for comment, a White House spokeswoman said the email wasn’t a threat and was part of a larger effort to mobilize outside supporters. The spokeswoman said the Office of Public Liaison has sent out messages with similar language in the past.
《华尔街日报》查阅的公共联络办公室以往邮件显示，该办公室鼓励基层组织与白宫分享其支持特朗普的宣传信息，但不包含关于监控这些团体声明的语言。
Previous emails from the liaison’s office reviewed by The Wall Street Journal encourage grassroots organizations to share their pro-Trump messaging with the White House, but don’t include language about monitoring the groups’ statements.
一封10月1日发给保守派团体的邮件写道：“一如既往，请继续标记上述主题相关的任何支持声明、新闻稿、评论文章和媒体活动。”
“As always, please continue to flag any statements of support, press releases, op-eds and media engagements on the topics outlined above,” reads an Oct. 1 email to conservative groups.
共和党失去众议院和参议院控制权后，多名保守派人士就共和党惨败的规模发表了尖锐言论。
After Republicans lost the House and Senate, several conservatives made pointed statements about the scale of the GOP defeat.
佛罗里达州州长罗恩·德桑蒂斯在2024年挑战特朗普争取共和党总统提名未果，他将选举失利的责任完全归咎于特朗普。“本次中期选举，毫无疑问，是民主党人、无党派人士以及一些跨党投票的共和党人对总统和国会的否决，”他对福克斯新闻主持人劳拉·英格拉姆说。
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, who unsuccessfully challenged Trump for the Republican presidential nomination in 2024, laid the blame for the losses squarely on Trump’s shoulders. “This midterm, no question, was a rebuke of the president and the Congress by Democrats, independents and some Republicans that crossed over,” he told Fox News’ Laura Ingraham.
德克萨斯州参议员泰德·克鲁兹在社交媒体帖子中将失利描述为“水门级别的否决”，写道特朗普的“关税让一切都太昂贵”，而“伊朗战争拖得太久”。一些保守团体迅速将失利归咎于共和党人抛弃了长期坚持的保守原则。
Texas Sen. Ted Cruz described the losses as “a Watergate-level repudiation” in a social-media post, writing Trump’s “tariffs have made everything too expensive” while “the Iran war has dragged on too long.”Some conservative groups were quick to blame the losses on what they saw as Republicans abandoning longstanding conservative principles.
“共和党顾问得到了他们想要的竞选活动，也得到了他们应得的失败。你不能多年告诉你的基础选民闭嘴坐下，然后在选举日他们不为你站出来时感到惊讶，”苏珊·B·安东尼反堕胎美国组织主席玛乔丽·丹嫩弗莱瑟在选举后的一份备忘录中写道，她指出政府在堕胎问题上缺乏行动是宗教选民没有出来支持特朗普所在政党的原因之一。
“Republican consultants got the campaign they wanted, and the defeat they earned. You cannot spend years telling your base to sit down and shut up, then act surprised when they don’t stand up for you on Election Day,” Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America President Marjorie Dannenfelser wrote in a memo after the election, citing the administration’s lack of action on abortion as one reason religious voters didn’t turn out in support of Trump’s party.
专注于有限政府的保守团体纳税人保护联盟将特朗普拥抱经济民粹主义（尤其是使用关税）视为推高选民成本、削减共和党支持率的原因。“这些关税是一场自找的政治伤口，疏远了选民，”该组织在选举后的一份备忘录中写道。
The Taxpayer Protection Alliance, a conservative group focused on limited government, blamed Trump’s embrace of economic populism, particularly the use of tariffs, for driving up costs for voters and driving down GOP support. “These tariffs were a self-inflicted political wound that alienated voters,” the organization wrote in a postelection memo.
右翼人士现在认为，周二晚上的选举结果应迫使共和党回归参议员约翰·柯蒂斯（共和党，犹他州）在社交媒体帖子中描述的“有原则的保守价值观”。
Some on the right now argue that Tuesday night’s election results ought to force the GOP to return to what Sen. John Curtis (R., Utah) described in a social-media post as “principled conservative values.”
“拜登时代之后，美国人想要一个为他们服务的经济，”柯蒂斯周二晚上写道。“他们得到的却是一场仓促发动的战争、一连串的丑闻头条、膨胀至40万亿美元的债务，以及不可预测的关税。”自十年前掌权以来，特朗普长期以来一直是共和党圈子里的“造王者”，提拔他偏好的候选人，并重新定义了该党在贸易和外交政策等问题上的立场。
“After the Biden era, Americans wanted an economy that worked for them,” Curtis wrote on Tuesday night. “Instead, they received a hastily executed war, headline after headline of scandals, a ballooning $40 trillion debt, and unpredictable tariffs.”Since he rose to power a decade ago, Trump has long been a kingmaker in Republican circles, elevating his preferred candidates and redefining the party’s stances on issues such as trade and foreign policy.
总统从选举中走出来时已被削弱，他在党内的影响力受到威胁。随着共和党人展望2028年总统大选，他们将不得不决定是继续拥抱特朗普主义，还是为党开辟新路。
The president emerges from the election weakened, with his influence in the party under threat. As Republicans look to the 2028 presidential election, they will have to decide whether to continue to embracing Trumpism or chart a new path for the party.
周三，副总统JD·万斯——广泛被视为2028年共和党总统竞选的领先人选——迈出了第一步，阐述与特朗普不同的世界观。
On Wednesday, Vice President JD Vance, who is widely considered a leading Republican presidential contender in 2028, took the first steps toward articulating a worldview that differs from Trump’s.
他和特朗普都认为，战争至少部分要为共和党周二的惨败负责。但特朗普表示他不会做任何不同的事情，而万斯在一篇长篇社交媒体帖子中暗示，战争带来的政治后果值得讨论。
He and Trump agree that the war was at least in part to blame for Republicans’ drubbing on Tuesday. But while Trump has said he wouldn’t do anything differently, Vance suggested in a lengthy social-media post that the political fallout from the war was worth discussing.
“如果你想争论这是值得的，争论失去参议院6年是值得的，那就争论吧，”万斯说。“争论这是值得付出的代价。同意或不同意，这至少是诚实的。”
“If you would like to argue it was worth it, that losing the Senate for the next 6 years was worth it, then do so,” Vance said. “Argue it was a worthwhile cost to pay. Agree or disagree, that’s at least honest.”
