副总统万斯下周一赴托皮卡:为参议员 Roger Marshall 助选连任

副总统 JD 万斯将于下周一(10月26日)前往堪萨斯州首府托皮卡(Topeka),为竞选连任的共和党联邦参议员 Roger Marshall 举行助选集会。这是万斯约两个月内第二次到堪萨斯为 Marshall 站台,上月他曾前往 Johnson County 助选;一周前,特朗普总统也在 Wichita 附近为 Marshall 举行了近两小时的集会,并呼吁选民「就当是我在选票上」。托皮卡集会定于当天下午举行,向公众开放。
堪萨斯是传统共和党票仓,今年参议员选情异常胶着。民主党候选人、联合卫理公会牧师 Adam Hamilton 与 Marshall 在民调中势均力敌;若 Hamilton 获胜,他将成为近百年来首位堪萨斯州民主党联邦参议员。据 Politico 报道,全国多名共和党人此前曾私下敦促 Marshall 更认真对待选战,参议院领导基金近几周也已大力投入助选。
Marshall 对媒体表示:「我们正在全力以赴,假定民调显示的胶着就是现实。」Hamilton 竞选团队发言人 Glynnis Harvey 回应称,六周内两度派出副总统为一名参议员助选,「说明一切关于 Marshall 选情的问题」,并称选民已准备好迎接改变。
Vice President Vance to Rally in Topeka on Monday for Senator Roger Marshall's Re-election
Vice President JD Vance will travel to Topeka, the Kansas capital, on Monday, October 26, to hold a rally for Republican U.S. Senator Roger Marshall, who is seeking re-election. It will be Vance's second trip to Kansas in about two months to campaign for Marshall, following a visit to Johnson County last month; a week ago, President Donald Trump campaigned for nearly two hours for Marshall near Wichita and asked voters to 'pretend that I'm on the ballot.' The Topeka event is scheduled for the afternoon and is open to the public.
Kansas is a traditional Republican stronghold, but this year's Senate race is unusually close. Democratic candidate Adam Hamilton, a United Methodist pastor, and Marshall are neck-and-neck in the polls; if Hamilton wins, he would be the first Democratic U.S. senator from Kansas in nearly a century. According to Politico, numerous national Republicans have privately urged Marshall to take his race more seriously, and the Senate Leadership Fund has mounted a major push in recent weeks.
'We're pulling out all the stops,' Marshall told talk radio. 'We're assuming that this is as close as these polls say they are.' Hamilton campaign spokesperson Glynnis Harvey responded that sending the vice president twice in six weeks to campaign for a senator 'tells you everything you need to know about how Roger Marshall's campaign is going,' and said Kansans are ready for change.
