据美联社报道,就在前美国总统特朗普在纽约被起诉后,当地时间4月2日,现年72岁的美国前阿肯色州共和党籍州长阿萨·哈钦森(Asa Hutchinson)宣布,他将参加2024年美国总统竞选,并称此举将为共和党人提供特朗普之外的另一种选择。 他还表示,已经被刑事起诉的特朗普应主动退选。↓

Asa Hutchinson, who recently completed two terms as Arkansas governor, said Sunday he will seek the Republican presidential nomination, positioning himself as an alternative to Donald Trump just days after the former president was indicted by a grand jury in New York.
 

Hutchinson said Trump should drop out of the race, arguing “the office is more important than any individual person.”
 

报道称,哈钦森在2日播出的美国广播公司《本周》(This Week)节目采访中说,他将于4月26日在阿肯色州正式宣布这一决定。
 

“我已经做出了决定,那就是竞选美国总统。”
 

“I have made a decision, and my decision is, I'm going to run for president of the United States.

“我做出这个决定的原因是,在过去的六个月里我走遍了全国,听到人们谈论我们国家的领导力。我相信,人们想要的是能够激发美国最好一面的领导人,而不是简单地迎合我们最坏的本能。” 之后他表示“我相信我可以成为美国人民期待的那种领导人。”

 

Hutchinson, who announced his candidacy on ABC’s “This Week,” said he was running because “I’m convinced that people want leaders that appeal to the best of America and not simply appeal to our worst instincts.” “And I believe I can be that kind of leader for the people of America,” he added.


The formal campaign announcement will come April 26 in Bentonville, his hometown.


3月30日晚,特朗普被刑事起诉的消息掀起轩然大波。在采访中谈及此事时,哈钦森表示,这一事态发展“增加了”政治进程的“不可预测性(unpredictability)”。


“我认为这对美国来说是悲伤的一天,因为我们有一位前总统被起诉,这在很大程度上会转移人们的注意力。”哈钦森说,“但与此同时,我们不能因为我们有这方面的争议和未决的刑事指控,就搁置我们的宪法要求,即为我们的国家选举一位新领导人。”


“And I think it's a sad day for America that we have a former president that's indicted, and so it's a great distraction. But at the same time, we can't set aside what our constitution requires, which is electing a new leader for our country, just because we have this side controversy and criminal charges that are pending.”


此外,在被问及“是否认为特朗普应退选(drop out)”时,哈钦森明确回答“是的”,并称特朗普“需要把精力都投入在他的司法程序上(he needs to be able to concentrate on his due process)”。

 


在当天的采访中,哈钦森还坚称,自己的政治立场属于“非特朗普(non-Trump)”,绝非“反特朗普(anti-Trump)”。
 

“当我说‘非特朗普’时,我希望能够与特朗普的选民们交谈。我希望能够对党内所有人说:‘我想提供这样的领导力,我认为我们需要边境安全,我认为我们需要一个强大的美国,我们需要减少联邦政府的开支’,这些是我所代表的价值观。”
 

“When I say non-Trump, I want to be able to speak to the Trump voters. I want to be able to speak to all of the party and say, this is the leadership that I want to provide. And I think that we need to have border security, I think we need to have a strong America, I think we need to spend less at the federal level. These are the values that I represent.”

据美联社报道,现年72岁的哈钦森担任州长8年,于今年1月卸任。


报道称,在特朗普担任总统期间,哈钦森对其政策表现得颇为支持。但在特朗普2020年总统大选失利后,哈钦森开始对特朗普的言论表示不满。他认为,特朗普呼吁终止宪法的部分条款以推翻大选结果的做法“伤害了国家”。


近几个月来,他加大了对特朗普的批评力度,称特朗普再次获得总统提名对共和党人来说是“最糟糕的情况”,因为这可能有利于拜登在2024年获得连任。


Hutchinson, 72, left office in January after eight years as governor. He has ramped up his criticism of the former president in recent months, calling another Trump presidential nomination the “worst scenario” for Republicans and saying it will likely benefit President Joe Biden’s chances in 2024.


Although he has supported Trump’s policies, Hutchinson has become increasingly critical of the former president’s rhetoric and lies about the 2020 presidential election. He said Trump’s call to terminate parts of the Constitution to overturn the election hurt the country.


在这次的采访中,哈钦森没有明确表示,如果特朗普再次赢得共和党提名成为总统候选人,是否会支持这位前总统。但他说:“我认为他不应该成为我们国家的下一任领导人。(I don't believe he should be the next leader of our country. )”
 

 

报道指出,除特朗普和哈钦森之外,共和党总统候选人资格争夺群体还包括前驻联合国大使妮基·黑利(Nikki Haley)和企业家维韦克·拉马斯瓦米(Vivek Ramaswamy)。佛罗里达州州长罗恩·德桑蒂斯(Ron DeSantis)预计将在夏天加入这场角逐,而代表南卡罗来纳州的联邦参议员蒂姆·斯科特(Tim Scott)和前国务卿迈克·蓬佩奥(Mike Pompeo)、副总统迈克·彭斯(Mike Pence)等人正在考虑参选。
 

In addition to Trump, Hutchinson joins a Republican field that also includes former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley and entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is expected to jump into the race in the summer, while U.S. Sen. Tim Scott of South Carolina, former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and former Vice President Mike Pence are among those considering bids.
