特朗普赴俄亥俄集会为中期选举助选 警告民主党胜选将限制联邦协助Trump Rallies Ohio Voters for Midterms, Warns Against Backing Democrats

在代顿附近巴特勒高中体育馆举行的集会上，特朗普发表了长达93分钟的演说，敦促共和党选民全员出动投票以打破外界对中期选举的预期。他向现场支持者表示，共和党有望迎来“巨大惊喜”，并宣称只要选民积极参与，共和党就将取得重大胜利。特朗普强调，在选票上没有自己名字的情况下，支持者应当“假装是我参选”，以此作为动员选民参与11月3日选举的核心口号。

Speaking for 93 minutes inside the Butler High School gymnasium near Dayton, Trump urged Republican supporters to turn out in force to defy midterm projections. Addressing the crowd, he asserted that Republicans would deliver a "big surprise" and insisted that high voter participation would lead to a substantial victory. With his own name absent from the ballot, Trump repeatedly instructed the audience to "please pretend that I’m on the ballot" as a primary strategy to drive voter turnout for the November 3 elections.

在动员投票的同时，特朗普对民主党人展开直接攻击，声称如果民主党人赢得关键职位，他将减少配合并限制对俄亥俄州的联邦协助。特朗普表示，俄亥俄州现任共和党官员经常向他争取财政支持，但若民主党候选人当选，他将不愿予以配合。这一表态构成了白宫计划在11月3日前横跨至少17个州进行竞选助选活动的核心政治基调。

Alongside his turnout appeal, Trump directed sharp attacks at Democrats, explicitly asserting that he would be less inclined to cooperate or provide federal assistance to Ohio if Democratic candidates win key races. Trump stated that elected Republican officials from the state routinely contact him seeking federal funds, but claimed he would have little willingness to accommodate Democrats who take office. The remarks set the tone for an extensive campaign push that White House officials said will cover at least 17 states ahead of November 3.

俄亥俄州现任参议员乔恩·休斯特在接替当选副总统的JD·万斯后谋求保住席位，正与民主党前参议员谢罗德·布朗展开全美最昂贵且竞争最激烈的参议院角逐之一。为了巩固该席位并维持共和党在国会的微弱优势，与参议院多数党领袖约翰·图恩有关联的超级政治行动委员会“参议院领袖基金”本周再度向俄亥俄州投入1400万美元，使其在该州的总投入达到9300万美元。特朗普在集会上盛赞休斯特，转述图恩等党内领袖称赞休斯特表现出色的评价，并为众议院候选人德里克·梅林及众议员迈克·特纳站台助选。

Incumbent Republican Senator Jon Husted, appointed after JD Vance was elected vice president, is locked in one of the country's most expensive and competitive Senate races against Democratic former Senator Sherrod Brown. To protect the seat and defend the party's narrow congressional margins, the Senate Leadership Fund, a super PAC aligned with Senate Majority Leader John Thune, poured an additional $14 million into Ohio this week, lifting the group's total spending in the state to $93 million. At the rally, Trump praised Husted, cited Thune and others describing him as phenomenal, and offered endorsements for House candidates including Derek Merrin and Representative Mike Turner.

休斯特的竞选面临党内外的多重压力与审视。全国共和党参议院委员会8月曾在一份备忘录中提醒，休斯特以往对建设数据中心的热情正在损害其选情，部分共和党人亦担忧他未全力投入选战。在集会现场，休斯特公开指责布朗任职50年未给选民带来实质作为；布朗竞选团队发言人劳伦·周则反驳批评休斯特支持让企业获利的税收协议引入数据中心并力挺伊朗政策。与此同时，共和党州长候选人维韦克·拉马斯瓦米对阵民主党候选人艾米·阿克顿的选战同样陷入激烈争夺，成为决定该州未来政局的核心焦点。

Husted's campaign faces scrutiny from both parties alongside internal Republican concerns. In August, the National Republican Senatorial Committee warned in a memo that Husted's past enthusiasm for data centers was damaging his race, while some party members expressed worry over his commitment. At the rally, Husted attacked Brown's five-decade political record, while Brown campaign spokesperson Lauren Chou countered that Husted prioritized corporate tax deals for data centers over residents. Meanwhile, the gubernatorial clash between Republican Vivek Ramaswamy and Democrat Amy Acton remains equally competitive, anchoring the battle for the state's top offices.

在阐述执政成果时，特朗普向集会现场的支持者宣示美国正迎来新一轮“黄金时代”，并坚称俄亥俄州正在蓬勃发展。为了证明制造业正在向本土回流，特朗普列举了一系列大型企业在该州的投资项目，包括汽车制造商斯泰兰蒂斯在托莱多投入的4亿美元项目，以及Electra航空航天公司在斯普林菲尔德附近展开的8.5亿美元投资计划。

Making an economic case for the Republican slate, Trump declared that America has entered a new "golden age" and asserted that Ohio is booming under his economic leadership. To highlight domestic manufacturing gains, the president pointed to major private-sector commitments across the state, specifically citing a $400 million investment by automaker Stellantis in Toledo and an $850 million aerospace project by Electra near Springfield.

在演讲中提及自身日常服用阿司匹林的习惯后，特朗普还重点介绍了拜耳公司计划在哥伦布附近建设的22亿美元制药生产园区项目。根据拜耳公布的数据，该园区预计将提供约600个长期就业岗位以及1500个建筑施工岗位。特朗普将这些巨额商业投资归功于自身的贸易与关税政策，坚称关税为美国企业提供了在本土建厂的强劲激励，从而创造了公平的竞争环境。

Weaving in an anecdote regarding his daily aspirin habit, Trump also highlighted plans by pharmaceutical company Bayer to develop a $2.2 billion manufacturing campus near Columbus. According to the company, that pharmaceutical facility is projected to support roughly 600 permanent positions alongside 1,500 construction jobs. Trump directly credited these substantial corporate investments to his trade agenda and tariff policies, arguing that tariffs provide companies with a powerful incentive to build at home while leveling the commercial playing field.

在俄亥俄州各阶层选民中，人工智能数据中心的大规模扩建引发了有关电价上涨、农田占用以及水资源供应负担的广泛争议。休斯特曾因担任副州长期间积极招揽数据中心而持续承受政治批评。特朗普在集会上全力为发展数据中心进行辩护，声称俄亥俄州能从中获取巨大收益，并警告如果叫停这些项目，相关设施将会流向中国。特朗普同时对休斯特提出的《费率支付者保护法》表示支持，该法案旨在保护普通消费者免受数据中心带来的额外电费支出影响。

The rapid expansion of artificial intelligence data centers has emerged as a central flashpoint in Ohio, prompting bipartisan concerns among voters over higher household electricity costs, agricultural land use, and water strain. Husted has faced sustained scrutiny over his past record of attracting data centers while serving as lieutenant governor. At the rally, Trump vigorously defended the industry, asserting that Ohio stands to make enormous sums from the facilities and warning that stopping development would drive projects to China. Trump also voiced support for Husted's Ratepayer Protection Act, a legislative proposal intended to shield utility consumers from rising electric bills tied to data centers.

除了本地基础设施争议，选民面临的日常经济压力也对共和党选情构成实质考验。根据美国汽车协会的数据，在美以对伊冲突的大背景下，俄亥俄州汽油均价在过去一年内上涨了35%，达到每加仑4.16美元。与此同时，加拿大广播公司报道指出，特朗普针对加拿大的贸易政策导致加方采取报复性关税，波及俄亥俄州约30亿美元的出口额。尽管特朗普在2024年总统大选中以超过55%的得票率赢下俄亥俄州，但不断攀升的生活成本与贸易争端使得执政民调支持率持续面临下滑压力。

Beyond localized utility friction, broader cost-of-living pressures are complicating the Republican midterm campaign. Driven by persistent fuel inflation alongside the U.S.-Israel war on Iran, Ohio gasoline prices rose 35 percent over the past year to an average of $4.16 per gallon, according to data from the American Automobile Association. Additionally, Canadian retaliatory tariffs responding to Trump's trade measures affect approximately $3 billion in Ohio exports, based on 2025 figures reported by CBC. Although Trump won more than 55 percent of Ohio's vote in 2024, these compounding economic headwinds have eroded approval ratings ahead of November.
