阿拉巴马州长之争陷「无辩论」僵局：琼斯数月邀约未获塔伯维尔回应
阿拉巴马州2026年州长选举临近，但选民可能等不到两位主要候选人同台交锋的机会。据《阿拉巴马反映者》（Alabama Reflector）10月12日报道，民主党候选人、前联邦参议员道格·琼斯数月来一直要求与共和党候选人、现任联邦参议员汤米·塔伯维尔举行公开辩论，琼斯竞选团队称已接受多家机构发出的辩论邀请，而塔伯维尔方面则婉拒参加。
今年9月，琼斯在一场线上直播中播放了塔伯维尔关于社会保障、关税和公共安全的过往言论录音，逐条作出回应，并表示选民有权直接比较两人的政策主张，而不是只看竞选声明和互相攻击的广告。
州长选举的结果将决定阿拉巴马州未来数年的预算优先顺序、经济发展方向和公共政策走向。按照日程，阿拉巴马州大选投票日为11月3日。截至目前，塔伯维尔方面没有宣布任何辩论安排，这场「无辩论」的州长之争已成为该州选战中最受关注的话题之一。

Tuberville-Jones Governor's Race Without a Debate as Jones' Months of Challenges Go Unanswered
Alabama's 2026 race for governor is heading toward Election Day without a head-to-head debate between the major candidates. The Alabama Reflector reported on Oct. 12 that Democratic nominee Doug Jones, a former U.S. senator, has spent months challenging Republican nominee Tommy Tuberville, the state's incumbent U.S. senator, to meet him in a public debate. Jones' campaign says it has accepted invitations from organizations interested in hosting debates, while Tuberville has declined to participate.
In September, Jones used an online broadcast to play recordings of Tuberville's past remarks on Social Security, tariffs and public safety and respond to them point by point, arguing that voters deserve a direct exchange of competing positions rather than a campaign defined by statements and attack ads.
The winner will lead Alabama's state government, shaping budget priorities, economic development and public policy for years to come. The general election is Nov. 3. As of Oct. 12, the Tuberville campaign had announced no debate plans, and the absence of a direct encounter has become one of the most prominent issues in the race.
