- 特朗普将在得克萨斯州宣传液化天然气产量
- 总统尚未在竞争性的美国参议院初选中表态
- 特朗普推动得克萨斯州共和党人赢回众议院席位
得克萨斯州科珀斯克里斯蒂，2月27日（路透社） – 美国总统唐纳德·特朗普将于周五前往得克萨斯州南部，宣传其经济和化石燃料政策，就在共和党人在该州面临激烈初选数天之后。
特朗普迄今为止未介入其党内在参议院席位上的高调争斗，但他对科珀斯克里斯蒂的访问使他靠近几个竞争激烈的美国众议院选区，在这些选区中，西班牙裔选民（共和党全国范围内的重要选民群体）可能会决定11月中期选举的结果。

此次行程是在一位得克萨斯州共和党人发出警告之后进行的，该共和党人表示，尽管特朗普曾表示支持，她最近在州议会选举中失利是给共和党敲响的“警钟”。
总统以经济为重点的活动是在他的国情咨文演说之后进行的，那次演说试图在民主党人旨在今年晚些时候获得国会控制权的情况下，在物价负担能力和移民执法问题上与民主党人形成鲜明对比。
白宫新闻秘书卡罗琳·利维特在一份声明中表示，特朗普将在得克萨斯州宣传其“开采、开采、再开采”（drill baby drill）议程。科珀斯克里斯蒂地区是美国液化天然气的最大出口地，全国42%的液化天然气产品通过其港口运输。

中期选举历来被视为对现任总统的检验，特朗普警告称，如果他的政党失去权力，他的议程将被搁置。但首先，这个极度保守的州的共和党人必须确定谁将在11月的大选中代表他们。
民意调查显示，自2002年上任的参议员约翰·科宁在得克萨斯州最激烈的竞选中落后于两位挑战者——得克萨斯州总检察长肯·帕克斯顿和美国众议员韦斯利·亨特。
与路易斯安那州不同，在路易斯安那州特朗普鼓励挑战现任共和党参议员，而总统此次允许得克萨斯州的候选人互相较量，这场竞争变得个人化，涉及到性行为指控和政治无能的指责。
预计参议院和部分众议院竞选中的共和党候选人将出席特朗普周五的活动。
强制重新划分选区能否挽救共和党？
在总统去年的敦促下，得克萨斯州共和党人发起了一场重新划分选区的斗争，旨在改善该党在众议院竞选中的前景。随着新地图的生效，共和党人可能在全州范围内多获得五个席位。
科珀斯克里斯蒂州参议员亚当·希诺霍萨表示，得克萨斯州南部的西班牙裔选民是该党选举成功的关键，希诺霍萨是自1874年以来首位在德克萨斯州参议院代表里奥格兰德河谷的共和党人。
“我们需要工作机会，我们需要确保我们的家庭得到照顾，我们需要能够负担得起所有的杂货和维持体面生活的开支，”希诺霍萨在采访中表示。
他称赞特朗普的边境政策和亲石油议程，称他认为总统的访问将有助于激发共和党选民的热情。
特朗普通过撤销环境法规和简化能源项目的审批流程，优先考虑最大化美国化石燃料产量，这对得克萨斯州南部等地区有利。
即便如此，路透社/益普索最近的一项民调显示，全国36%的人认可特朗普对经济的处理，而56%的人不认可。
“很难知道他是否察觉到了经济方面的担忧，”科珀斯克里斯蒂的50岁无党派人士蒂芙尼·里奇在采访中表示，她指出自己在2024年总统选举中首次投票支持特朗普。“我希望他能意识到这一点，不过，他是那种会把任何事情都抛到墙上看看是否能粘住的人。”
共和党人正瞄准两个民主党人控制的边境选区：一个是自2016年起由文森特·冈萨雷斯代表的布朗斯维尔地区席位，另一个是由11任议员亨利·奎利亚尔代表的拉雷多地区席位。
12月，特朗普赦免了奎利亚尔和他的妻子，但此后支持当地共和党法官塔诺·蒂赫里纳，指责奎利亚尔作为民主党人寻求连任是“不忠诚的行为”。
“如果唐纳德·特朗普想提醒南得克萨斯人经济有多糟糕，他可以来试试，”民主党竞选机构发言人麦迪逊·安德鲁斯在一份声明中说。

Trump to tout economy, energy in Texas ahead of Republican primaries

- Summary
- Trump to tout LNG production in Texas
- President has not endorsed in competitive US Senate primary
- Trump pushing for Texas Republicans to win back House seats
CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas, Feb 27 (Reuters) – U.S. President Donald Trump will travel to southern Texas on Friday to tout his economic and fossil fuel agenda, just days before Republicans face competitive primary elections in the state.
Trump has so far stayed out of his party’s high-profile battle over a U.S. Senate seat, but his visit to Corpus Christi places him near several contested U.S. House of Representatives districts where Hispanic voters, an important constituency for Republicans nationally, could determine the outcome in November’s midterm elections.

The trip follows a warning from a Texas Republican who said her recent loss in a state legislature race, despite Trump’s endorsement, was a “wake-up call” for the party.
The president’s economy-focused event springboards off his State of the Union address, which sought to draw sharp contrasts with Democrats on affordability and immigration enforcement as they aim to gain control of Congress later this year.
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said in a statement Trump will tout his “drill baby drill” agenda in Texas. The Corpus Christi area is the top exporter of liquefied natural gas in the U.S., with 42% of the product nationwide passing through its port.

Midterm elections are historically seen as a check on the sitting president, and Trump has warned his agenda will be derailed if his party loses power. But first, Republicans in the deeply conservative state must settle on who they want to represent them in November’s general election.
Public opinion polls show Senator John Cornyn, in office since 2002, trailing two challengers – Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton and U.S. Representative Wesley Hunt – in Texas’ most cutthroat contest.
Unlike in Louisiana, where Trump encouraged a challenge to the incumbent Republican senator, the president has let the Texans duke it out in a contest made personal with accusations of sexual affairs and political ineffectiveness.
Republican candidates in the Senate and some House races are expected to attend Trump’s event on Friday.
CAN FORCED REDISTRICTING RESCUE REPUBLICANS?
At the president’s urging last year, Texas Republicans launched a redistricting fight aimed at improving the party’s prospects in U.S. House races. With the new map in effect, Republicans could gain up to five more seats across the state.
Hispanic voters in south Texas are key to the party’s electoral success, said Corpus Christi’s state Senator Adam Hinojosa, the first Republican to represent the Rio Grande Valley in the Texas Senate since 1874.
“We need the job opportunities, we need to make sure that our families are taken care of, we need to be able to afford all of the groceries and things to have a decent lifestyle,” Hinojosa said in an interview.
Crediting Trump’s border policy and pro-oil agenda, Hinojosa said he thought the president’s visit would help energize the Republican base.
Trump has prioritized maximizing U.S. fossil fuel production by rolling back environmental regulations and streamlining permitting for energy projects, benefiting places like southern Texas.
Even so, a recent Reuters/Ipsos poll found that 36% of people nationwide approved of Trump’s handling of the economy while 56% disapproved.
“It’s hard to know if he is perceptive to economic concerns,” Tiffany Ritchie, 50, a self-declared independent in Corpus Christi, said in an interview, noting she voted for Trump for the first time in the 2024 presidential election. “I would like to think he is, however, he is the kind of character who will just kind of throw anything against the wall and see if it sticks.”
Republicans are targeting two Democratic-held border districts: the Brownsville-area seat represented by Vicente Gonzalez since 2016, and the Laredo-area seat held by 11-term Representative Henry Cuellar.
In December, Trump pardoned Cuellar and his wife, but has since backed local Republican judge Tano Tijerina, accusing Cuellar of an “act of disloyalty” for seeking re-election as a Democrat.
“If Donald Trump wants to remind South Texans how terrible the economy is, he can be our guest,” Madison Andrus, spokesperson for the Democrats’ campaign arm, said in a statement.
