前白宫顾问史蒂夫·班农表示，在共和党于中期选举中遭受失利后，白宫幕僚长苏西·怀尔斯和其他政治顾问应“立即撤职”。
Former White House adviser Steve Bannon said White House chief of staff Susie Wiles and other political consultants should be “removed immediately” following the losses suffered by the GOP in the midterm elections.
周二，民主党人在全国各地的摇摆州取得胜利，在得克萨斯州、南卡罗来纳州、爱荷华州、堪萨斯州和俄亥俄州等地翻转了共和党把持的席位。
Democrats secured wins in battleground states across the country on Tuesday, flipping GOP-held seats in Texas, South Carolina, Iowa, Kansas and Ohio, among others.
班农在接受英国记者史蒂文·埃金顿采访时说：“我认为你必须看看苏西·怀尔斯这样的人，即幕僚长，以及那里的政治顾问……因为结果的缘故，他们应该被撤职，而且要立即撤职。”班农并非首个呼吁撤换怀尔斯的人。
“I think that you have to look to people like Susie Wiles, the chief of staff, and the political consultants that are there … because of the results, they should be removed and removed immediately,” Bannon said in an interview with British journalist Steven Edginton. Bannon is not the first to call for Wiles’s removal.
周三，特朗普总统的前助手卡罗琳·桑夏因对福克斯新闻表示，怀尔斯“需要辞职”，并“在总统不得不要求她辞职之前主动向总统递交辞呈。她的竞选技巧并未转化为治理能力。”班农在采访中还对得克萨斯州在中期选举中“变蓝”表示担忧。
On Wednesday, Caroline Sunshine, a former staffer to President Trump, told Fox News that Wiles “needs to resign” and “offer her resignation to the president before he has to ask for it. Her campaign skills have not translated into governing.”Bannon, in his interview, also raised concerns over Texas turning blue in the midterm elections.
在这个孤星州，共和党多年来一直保持着强势地位，但民主党候选人在关键竞选中获胜。州众议员吉娜·伊诺霍萨（民主党人）击败现任共和党州长格雷格·阿博特，当选为自1994年安·理查兹以来该州首位民主党州长。
In the Lone Star State, where Republicans have historically maintained a stronghold for years, Democratic candidates emerged victorious in key races. State Rep. Gina Hinojosa (D) defeated incumbent GOP Gov. Greg Abbott to be elected as the state’s first Democratic governor since Ann Richards in 1994.
民主党人詹姆斯·塔拉里科也击败了得克萨斯州共和党籍总检察长肯·帕克斯顿，成为自1988年以来该州首位民主党参议员。
Democrat James Talarico also defeated Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton (R) to become the first Democratic senator from the state since 1988.
班农说：“目前，在得克萨斯州我们面临一场斗争，”并补充说，这位新州长“可以让得克萨斯州成为一个庇护州。”“如果得克萨斯州像纽约和加利福尼亚那样成为庇护州，你将看到你所熟知的这个共和国的终结，”他补充道。
“Right now, in Texas we have a fight,” Bannon said, adding that the new governor, “can make Texas a sanctuary state.”“If Texas is a sanctuary state like New York and California, you’re seeing the end of this republic as you know it,” he added.
塔拉里科在最近接受《福布斯》采访时表示，他愿意在移民问题上与特朗普政府合作。
Talarico, in a recent interview with Forbes, said he is willing to work with the Trump administration on immigration.
“我认为这里有一个机会，最终通过全面移民改革，保卫我们的边境，”他说。“同时也为勤劳的移民创造更多合法途径来到这个国家，为经济做贡献，让我们作为一个国家变得更富裕、更强大。”
“I think there is an opportunity here to finally pass comprehensive immigration reform, to secure our border,” he said. “And also create more legal pathways for hard-working immigrants to come to this country, contribute to this economy and make us richer and stronger as a nation.”
