唐纳德·特朗普总统周二晚间在爱荷华州发起了一场激进的中期选举造势活动，警告支持者称，若国会控制权旁落，将危及他的减税政策、边境政策及更广泛的第二任期议程，他敦促共和党人积极投票并”赢得中期选举”。
“如果我们输掉中期选举，你们将失去我们正在讨论的许多东西，失去我们正在谈论的许多成果，失去我们正在谈论的许多减税政策，这将导致非常糟糕的后果，”特朗普在讲话中将2026年中期选举定性为对其总统任期的考验时说道。
在来自爱荷华州共和党众议员阿什利·辛森（Ashley Hinson）和扎克·努恩（Zach Nunn）之后发言时，特朗普表示，掌控国会参众两院对推进其议程至关重要。
“我们必须赢得中期选举。这意味着要赢得参议院，也意味着要赢得众议院。我们必须赢，”他对人群说道。
特朗普明确将此次爱荷华州之行视为其中期选举竞选活动的开场，他认为，未能积极竞选的总统往往会在非大选年选举中失利。

“我来到这里是因为我们正在为赢得中期选举而启动竞选活动。我们必须赢得中期选举，”他说。”中期选举非常重要。我们将非常努力地争取赢得中期选举。”
总统警告称，民主党控制的国会将推翻他的经济和边境政策，他告诉支持者，国会控制权将决定其优先事项能否得以保留。
“如果他们获胜，这个国家现在就会陷入崩溃，”特朗普在对比共和党和民主党候选人时说道。”我们的候选人秉持常识。不是那些疯狂的想法。”
特朗普在讲话中反复将中期选举的重要性与其经济政绩联系起来，吹嘘自重返白宫以来，通胀、投资和就业增长实现了他所谓的”戏剧性逆转”。
“今天，在特朗普总统上任仅一年后，我们的经济蓬勃发展。收入在增长。投资在飙升。通胀已被击败，”他说。”我们的边境已经关闭，完全关闭。”

特朗普将国内投资增长归功于关税和贸易政策，称其政府已获得他所谓的”创纪录18万亿美元的承诺”。
他还赞扬了约翰迪尔（John Deere）等公司扩大美国制造业的举措，并吹嘘他所说的将惠及老年人、小费工人和加班员工的税收条款，指出”小费不征税”、”加班费不征税”以及”老年人的社会保障不征税”。
在多个场合，特朗普将移民问题作为中期选举的关键议题，称如果共和党人失去国会控制权，边境安全和驱逐政策将被推翻。
“最糟糕的是开放边境，”他说。”我们永远不能忘记那群白痴对这个国家做的事情。我们永远不能忘记。我们必须赢得中期选举。”

特朗普承认执政党在中期选举中面临历史挑战，但表示积极竞选可以克服这些困难。
“即使你是一位优秀的总统……无论谁赢得总统职位，在中期选举中都会面临困难，”特朗普说。”但我进行了艰苦的竞选活动，我们做到了。我们必须赢得中期选举。”
特朗普在讲话的政治部分结束时发出直接呼吁，敦促支持者动员起来保护其议程，并在各级选举中选出共和党候选人。
“所以，记住，你们必须出去投票，”他说。
此次爱荷华州之行是白宫在2026年中期选举前推动总统定期出行的更广泛计划的一部分。政府官员表示，特朗普计划每周在关键国会选区的州进行露面，共和党人正在努力捍卫众议院和参议院的微弱多数优势，特别重点是激励核心共和党选民，这些选民在非大选年或总统未出现在选票上时往往不会投票。
总统明确表示，他认为这次选举不是对国会的公投，而是对其总统任期未来的投票。
“我们必须赢得这些选举，”他在谈到共和党候选人时说。”我们有优秀的候选人。再说一次，参议院和众议院。我们必须赢得它们。”

Trump launches midterm push in Iowa, warns losses would derail agenda: ‘We gotta win’

President Donald Trump kicked off an aggressive midterm push Tuesday night in Iowa, warning supporters that losing control of Congress would jeopardize his tax cuts, border policies and broader second-term agenda as he urged Republicans to turn out and “win the midterms.”
“If we lose the midterms, you’ll lose so many of the things that we’re talking about, so many of the assets that we’re talking about, so many of the tax cuts that we’re talking about, and it would lead to very bad things,” Trump said during remarks that framed the 2026 midterm elections as a test of his presidency.
Speaking after Reps. Ashley Hinson, R-Iowa, and Zach Nunn, R-Iowa, Trump said holding both chambers of Congress was critical to advancing his agenda.

“We got to win the midterms. That means Senate. And it means House. We gotta win,” he told the crowd.
Trump explicitly cast the Iowa stop as the opening act of his midterm campaign, arguing that presidents who fail to campaign aggressively often lose ground in off-year elections.

“I’m here because we’re starting the campaign to win the midterms. We have got to win the midterms,” he said. “The midterms are very important. We’re going to really work hard on winning the midterms.”
The president warned that a Democrat-led Congress would reverse his economic and border policies, telling supporters that control of Capitol Hill would determine whether his priorities survive.
“If they won, this country would be cratering right now,” Trump said as he contrasted Republican and Democrat candidates. “We have candidates that roll with common sense. Not this craziness.”
Trump repeatedly tied the midterm stakes to his economic record in his speech, touting what he described as a dramatic turnaround in inflation, investment and job growth since returning to office.

“Today, just after one year of President Trump, our economy is booming. Incomes are rising. Investment is soaring. Inflation has been defeated,” he said. “Our border is closed, totally closed.”

Trump credited tariffs and trade policy for increased domestic investment, saying his administration had secured what he called “commitments for a record-breaking $18 trillion.”
He also praised companies like John Deere for expanding U.S. manufacturing and touted tax provisions he said would benefit seniors, tipped workers and employees who work overtime, pointing to “no tax on tips,” “no tax on overtime” and “no tax on Social Security for our seniors.”
At several points, Trump returned to immigration as a defining midterm issue, arguing that border security and deportation policies would be undone if Republicans lost control of Congress.
“The worst is open borders,” he said. “We can never forget what that group of morons did to this country. We can never forget. And we’ve got to win the midterms.”

Trump acknowledged the historical challenges facing the party in power during midterm elections but said aggressive campaigning could overcome them.
“Even if you’re a good president … whoever wins the presidency has a hard time with the midterm,” Trump said. “But I campaigned hard. We got it. We got to win the midterms.”
Trump closed the political portion of his remarks with a direct call to action, urging supporters to mobilize to protect his agenda and elect Republican candidates up and down the ballot.
“So, remember that you got to get out, and you got to vote,” he said.
The Iowa stop is part of a broader push by the White House to put the president on the road regularly ahead of the 2026 midterms. Administration officials have said Trump plans to make weekly appearances in states with key congressional races as Republicans work to defend narrow House and Senate majorities, with a particular focus on motivating core GOP voters who don’t always turn out in off-year elections or when the president’s name isn’t on the ballot.
The president made clear that he views the elections not as a referendum on Congress but as a vote on the future of his presidency.
“We got to win them,” he said of GOP candidates. “We have great candidates. Again, Senate and House. We got to win them.”
The White House referred Fox News Digital to President Trump’s remarks.
