In Ohio, Republican Troy Balderson holds a narrow lead in a special congressional election that got nationwide attention.

在俄亥俄州,共和党人特洛伊·巴尔德森在国会特别选举中以微弱优势领先,这也引发了全国关注。
I'd like to thank President Trump. America is on the right path and we are going to keep it going that way.
我要感谢特朗普总统,美国正走在正确的道路上,我们将继续走下去。
Balderson got a strong challenge in a heavily Republican district from Democrat Danny O'Connor who focus on economic issues.
巴尔德森在一个共和党人占多数的选区受到了强烈挑战,对手是一直关注经济问题的民主党人丹尼·奥康纳。
I heard over and over that the people of central Ohio are sick and tired of the same old Washington politics. Folks want new leadership.
我总会听到人们说,俄亥俄州中部的人民已经厌倦了老旧的华盛顿政治,人们希望新的领导。
The president took to Twitter to claim credit for Balderson showing and he vowed to do more campaigning in the weeks to come.
总统在推特上赞扬巴尔德森的表现,他还称在未来几周参加更多竞选活动。
Balderson may have benefited from a Trump rally, just days before the election and the president went after opposition Democrats.
巴尔德森或许得益于特朗普的集会,而且就发生在选举几天前,总统还将矛头指向了民主党。
If the Democrats get in, they're gonna raise your taxes,
如果民主党人当选,他们将会提高税收,
you're gonna have crime all over the place, you're gonna have people pouring across the border.
可能会到处都是犯罪,边境会涌现更多移民。
So why would that be a blue wave? I think it could be a red wave.
那为什么是蓝色的浪潮呢?我觉得可能是红色的。

But the fact that Democrat O'Connor ran such a close race in a strongly Republican district

may be a warning sign for Republicans in November says analyst John Hudak.
这可能是11月份共和党人面临的一个警告信号,分析人士约翰·胡达克如是说。
It is more evidence that in race after race throughout this year,
越来越多的证据表明,在今年一场又一场的竞选中,
Republicans have been underperforming the levels that they were at in 2016,
共和党人的表现一直低于2016年的水平,
which has to spell trouble for them moving forward.
这必然会给他们今后的发展带来麻烦。
While Trump may have tipped the balance for Balderson,

While his intervention or maybe Governor Kasich's intervention or someone else's intervention

may well have made the difference in this 1,700-vote margin in Ohio,
