希拉里·克林顿选前登《The View》:若民主党夺回两院 特朗普会「更加失控」

美国前国务卿希拉里·克林顿11月2日做客美国广播公司(ABC)谈话节目《The View》,与共同主持播客的 Kara Swisher 一同谈11月3日中期选举。她对民主党选情表示乐观,同时称在每一张选票被公正、完整清点之前,自己仍会担心。
克林顿预测了共和党失去国会控制权后的局面:「如果我们成功赢下众议院和参议院——我希望如此——那么我认为他(特朗普)会变得更加失控,因为他会觉得自己被逼到了墙角。」她说,特朗普届时「会感到愤怒、会发作」,但民主党控制的国会至少能握有对其问责的杠杆。
她还指称特朗普方面一直在试图干预选举,包括提起法律诉讼、威胁扣押选票等做法,并预测选后可能出现游说部分州拒绝认证选举结果的动作;她同时表示,州与地方选举官员及法律团体不会坐视。上述说法均为克林顿在节目中的表述。
11月3日的中期选举将改选众议院全部435个席位与参议院35个席位,国会两院控制权归属将决定特朗普总统余下任期的立法环境。
Hillary Clinton on The View: If Democrats Retake Both Chambers, Trump Will Get "Even More Out of Control"
Former U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton appeared on ABC's talk show The View on November 2, alongside her podcast co-host Kara Swisher, to discuss the November 3 midterm elections. She sounded optimistic about Democratic prospects while saying she would keep worrying until every vote was fairly and completely counted.
Clinton predicted what would follow if Republicans lose control of Congress: “If we are successful in winning both the House and the Senate, which I hope we will be, then I think he's going to get even more out of control because I think he's going to feel cornered.” Trump would feel angry and lash out, she said, but a Democratic-controlled Congress would at least have leverage to hold him to account.
She also accused the Trump side of already trying to interfere with the election through legal actions and threats to seize ballots, and predicted post-election efforts to persuade some states not to certify results; state and local election officials and legal groups would not let that go unanswered, she added. Those characterizations were Clinton's own statements on the program.
The November 3 midterms will decide all 435 House seats and 35 Senate seats, and control of both chambers will shape the legislative environment for the rest of President Trump's term.
