福克斯新闻主播杰西·沃特斯警告称，如果共和党无法在得克萨斯州重掌大权，共和党可能永远无法再赢得总统大选。沃特斯周四晚间在其节目中表示，民主党在中期选举中的全面胜利可能是共和党赢得未来总统大选机会的丧钟。周二，民主党赢得了选票上所有的全州范围选举，只留下参议员泰德·克鲁兹（共和党-得克萨斯州）作为孤星州仅存的共和党全州官员。
Fox News anchor Jesse Watters warned that if Republicans cannot return to power in Texas, the GOP may never win the presidency again. Watters said during his show on Thursday night that Democrats’ sweeping win in the midterm elections could be a death knell for Republicans' chances of winning future presidential elections. Democrats won all statewide elections on the ballot Tuesday, leaving Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) as the only remaining GOP statewide official in the Lone Star state.
“他们夺取了得克萨斯州，并有望取得自水门事件以来最大的中期选举大胜，”沃特斯说。“现在，如果得克萨斯州保持蓝色（注：民主党颜色），共和党将永远无法再嗅到白宫的气息。”
“They seize Texas and are on pace for the biggest midterm landslide since Watergate,” Watters said. “Now, if Texas stays blue, a Republican will never sniff the White House ever again.”
这位福克斯新闻名嘴表示，共和党有两年时间针对民主党对手发起攻势，却没有取得多少明确的成功，并警告称民主党不会对共和党“手下留情”。
The Fox News personality said Republicans had two years to target Democratic opponents without many clear successes, warning that Democrats won’t “take it easy” on the GOP. "They want it extinguished.
“他们想让它灭绝。他们已经在谈论废除选举人团、弹劾总统，以及处决埃隆·马斯克。民主党州长现在控制着大多数人口居住的州，”沃特斯补充道。没有任何民主党民选官员呼吁处决马斯克。
They’re already talking about abolishing the Electoral College, impeaching the president, and executing Elon Musk. Democrat governors now control a majority of states where most of the population lives," Watters added. No Democratic elected official has called for the execution of Musk.
沃特斯表示，民主党在本周期中几乎赢得白人选民的支持，这加剧了共和党的困境。在播放了一段得克萨斯州民主党议员谈论少数族裔联合形成美国多数投票集团的视频后，沃特斯说，周二之后——这可能会奏效。
Watters said Democrats’ near-win among White voters this cycle reinforced the Republican struggle. After showing a video of a Texas Democratic lawmaker talking about minority races joining to form a majority voting bloc in America, Watters said after Tuesday — that could work.
“他们在谈论联合少数族裔对抗白人。得克萨斯州民主党政客正在宣布一场政治种族战争。他们可能会赢，因为共和党周二几乎输掉了白人选票，”他说。“民主党即将赢得白人、黑人和西班牙裔的多数支持。开放边境是自杀。民主党即将在密西西比州赢得一个参议院席位。黑人。这就像共和党在夏威夷获胜一样，”沃特斯继续说道。
“They’re talking about uniting the minority races against whites. Texas Democrat politicians are declaring a political race war. And they could win, because Republicans nearly lost the white vote Tuesday,” he said. “Democrats are on the cusp of winning a majority of whites, Blacks, and Hispanics. Open borders is suicide. The Democrats are about to win a Senate seat in Mississippi. Black guy. That’s like Republicans winning Hawaii,” Watters continued.
福克斯新闻主持人沃特斯表示，中期选举失利的“很大一部分”责任也应归咎于候选人，具体指得克萨斯州共和党籍总检察长肯·帕克斯顿和密西西比州共和党籍参议员辛迪·海德-史密斯。他说，共和党周二的失利并非标准的中期选举修正。“这不是你们印象中标准的中期选举惨败，”沃特斯说。“奥巴马在2010年和2014年遭遇惨败时，那些竞选都很胶着。而他当时并没有像共和党现在这样，差点连白人选票都丢了。”
The Fox News host said “a lot” of the blame for the midterm losses can also be pinned on the candidates, specifically Ken Paxton (R-Texas) and Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith (R-Miss.). He said the GOP's loss on Tuesday was not a standard midterm correction. “This wasn’t your standard midterm thumping,” Watters said. “When Obama got blown out in 2010 and 2014, those races were close. And he didn't almost lose the Black vote like Republicans almost lost the White vote.”
