Donald Trump’s vice-president flew this month to Iowa, the
state that traditionally kicks off the fight for the White
House.
唐纳德·特朗普的副手本月飞往爱荷华州——该州历来是白宫竞
选的起点。
Officially, JD Vance was in Des Moines to aid a Republican
congressman facing a tough re-election fight in November’s
midterm elections. But as supporters sat down in rows of
folding chairs in a steel grille guard manufacturing plant they
spoke of a different contest — the 2028 presidential race.
从官方角度来看，JD·万斯此行是前往得梅因，为一位在 11 月
中期选举中面临艰难连任之战的共和党众议员助选。但当支持
者们坐在这家钢制护栏制造厂里一排排折叠椅上时，他们谈论
的却是另一场角逐——2028 年的总统大选。
April Melton, 59, who chairs the Republican Party in Iowa’s
Black Hawk County, said she had come to hear the “next
president of the United States”.
现年 59 岁的艾普丽尔·梅尔顿是爱荷华州布莱克霍克县共和党
委员会主席，她说自己来这里是为了聆听“下一任美国总统”的
演讲。
“He’s like Donald Trump,” said Patricia Lage, 65. “He wants
to see America great again.”
“他就像唐纳德·特朗普，”65 岁的帕特里夏·拉格说，“他想让美
国再次伟大。”
Vance has been seen as the heir apparent since Trump
named him as his running mate in 2024.
自特朗普在 2024 年提名他为竞选搭档以来，万斯一直被视为
接班人。
A fierce defender of the president, he has stepped up his
domestic travel in recent months, criss-crossing the country
in support of Republican congressional candidates and
touting the Trump administration’s record.
作为总统的坚定支持者，他近几个月来加大了国内出行的力
度，穿梭于全国各地，为共和党国会候选人助选，并大力宣传
特朗普政府的政绩。
All the while, Vance has appeared to lay the groundwork for
a future presidential campaign of his own, fundraising for
the Republican Party and visiting key early-voting states
such as Iowa, whose caucuses mark the official start of the
presidential nomination process.
与此同时，万斯似乎一直在为自己未来的总统竞选铺路，他不
仅为共和党筹集资金，还走访了爱荷华州等关键的早期投票州
——该州的党团会议标志着总统提名程序的正式开始。
But with Trump’s approval ratings sliding to new lows and
the Republican Party facing an uphill battle to maintain
control of Congress in November’s midterms, Vance’s claim
on the prize may no longer be so certain. Secretary of state
Marco Rubio — whom the vice-president once called his
“best friend in the administration” — appears to be making
ground, both with Trump and the party grassroots.
但随着特朗普的支持率跌至新低，共和党在 11 月的中期选举
中为保住国会控制权面临一场艰苦卓绝的斗争，范斯能否如愿
获得这一职位已不再那么确定。国务卿马可·鲁比奥——这位副
总统曾称其为“政府中的挚友”——似乎正在特朗普和党内基层
中赢得更多支持。
At stake is whether Vance’s mix of economic populism and
isolationist foreign policy will prevail rather than Rubio’s
more orthodox brand of Republican politics.
关键在于，范斯的经济民粹主义与孤立主义外交政策相结合的
路线，是否会取代鲁比奥那种更为正统的共和党政治路线。
Last week, the president himself publicly questioned whether
his 41-year-old number two was ready for the top job.
上周，总统本人公开质疑他这位 41 岁的副手是否已准备好接
任最高职位。
“Who is it going to be? Is it going to be JD? Is it going to be
somebody else? I don’t know,” Trump said at a dinner in the
White House Rose Garden.
“会是谁呢？是 JD 吗？还是别人？我不知道，”特朗普在白宫
玫瑰园的一场晚宴上说道。
“Who likes JD Vance?” the president asked. Attendees
cheered.
“谁喜欢 JD·万斯？”总统问道。与会者欢呼起来。
Then he said: “Who likes Marco Rubio?” The crowd
applauded again.
接着他说：“谁喜欢马可·鲁比奥？”人群再次鼓掌。
Preparing the ground — and the funds
打好基础——并筹集资金
Vance has not yet said whether he will run for the 2028
Republican nomination, as Trump’s Make America Great
Again movement begins to contemplate life after the
president has left office.
随着特朗普的“让美国再次伟大”运动开始思考总统卸任后的前
景，万斯尚未表明是否将角逐 2028 年共和党总统候选人提
名。
“There are few topics that I want to talk about less than what
office I am going to run for years down the road,” Vance said
last week after being pressed by reporters.
“没有什么话题比我将来几年打算竞选什么公职更让我不想谈
的了，”范斯上周在记者的追问下说道。
“If I was the American people, there are few things that I
would hate more than a person who’s barely been in one
office for a year and a half . . . angling for a job two and a half
years down the road,” he added. “Let’s do a good job now.”
“如果我是美国人民，没有什么比看到一个在任还不到一年半
的人……就已经在打听两年半后的职位更让我反感了，”他补充
道。“让我们先把眼前的活儿做好。”
People close to him say he will make a firm decision later this
year, after his wife gives birth to the couple’s fourth child this
summer.
据其身边人士透露，待今年夏天妻子生下两人的第四个孩子
后，他将在今年晚些时候做出最终决定。
A Marine Corps veteran and Yale Law School graduate who
left corporate law to work for PayPal co-founder Peter Thiel’s
venture capital firm, Vance has had a national profile since
his 2016 memoir Hillbilly Elegy .
作为一名海军陆战队退伍军人兼耶鲁法学院毕业生，万斯曾离
开公司法领域，加入 PayPal 联合创始人彼得·蒂尔的风险投资
公司。自 2016 年出版回忆录《乡巴佬的挽歌》以来，他便声
名远播。
Next month, he will publish a sequel on his conversion to
Catholicism titled Communion .
下个月，他将出版一部关于自己皈依天主教的续作，书名定为
《圣体》。

And while Vance and his advisers are wary of appearing as if
they are paving the way for any future political campaign, he
has served since March last year as finance chair of the
Republican National Committee — entrusted with leading
the party’s fundraising efforts across the country.
尽管万斯及其顾问们不愿给人留下为未来政治竞选铺路的印
象，但他自去年 3 月以来一直担任共和党全国委员会的财务
主席——负责领导该党在全国范围内的筹款工作。
Vance is no stranger to wealthy political donors — Thiel
bankrolled his successful Senate bid in 2022 — and he is the
first vice-president to take on the role of RNC finance chair,
which has historically gone to longtime campaign
contributors. It is a position, campaign veterans say, that can
only bolster his future plans.
范斯与富有的政治捐助者并不陌生——蒂尔曾资助他成功竞选
参议员（2022 年）——而他也是首位兼任共和党全国委员会
财务主席的副总统，这一职位历来由长期竞选捐助者担任。竞
选老手们表示，这一职位必将助力他未来的计划。
The post allows him to travel the country and forge
relationships with high-powered and deep-pocketed donors
who could fund a future presidential campaign.
这一职位使他能够走遍全国，并与那些有权有势且财力雄厚的
捐助者建立关系，这些人未来可能为他的总统竞选提供资金。
Hours before landing in Des Moines this month, he stopped
in Oklahoma City for a private lunch that local reporters said
was expected to raise $2mn for the RNC.
本月，他在抵达得梅因前的几个小时，曾在俄克拉荷马城停
留，参加了一场私人午餐会。据当地记者称，此次活动预计将
为共和党全国委员会筹集 200 万美元。
It was the latest in a string of closed-door breakfasts,
lunches, dinners and drinks parties across the country in
which Vance has raked in tens of millions of dollars for the
Republican Party, building up his contact book in the
process.
这是范斯在全国范围内举办的一系列闭门早餐会、午餐会、晚
宴和酒会中的最新一场，通过这些活动，他为共和党筹集了数
千万美元，同时也拓展了人脉。
Last summer, he raised millions at exclusive resorts such as
Nantucket, Massachusetts, Jackson Hole, Wyoming, and Big
Sky, Montana.
去年夏天，他在马萨诸塞州的楠塔基特、怀俄明州的杰克逊霍
尔以及蒙大拿州的比格斯凯等高端度假胜地筹集了数百万美
元。
In March, he met donors from the Rockbridge Network — a
secretive group the vice-president co-founded with Chris
Buskirk, who runs a venture firm that employs Donald
Trump Jr — in Nashville, Tennessee.
3 月，他在田纳西州纳什维尔市会见了“罗克布里奇网络”
（Rockbridge Network）的捐助者——这是一个由副总统与克
里斯·布斯柯克共同创立的秘密组织，后者经营的一家风投公
司雇佣了唐纳德·特朗普 Jr。
Among the attendees were Rebekah Mercer, the Renaissance
Technologies hedge fund heiress and Republican Party
megadonor, and Chris LaCivita, the veteran political
consultant and architect of Trump’s winning 2024 campaign.
与会者包括文艺复兴科技对冲基金的继承人、共和党大金主丽
贝卡·默瑟，以及资深政治顾问、特朗普 2024 年胜选竞选活
动的策划者克里斯·拉西维塔。
Lanhee Chen, a fellow at Stanford University’s Hoover
Institution and former adviser to former Republican
presidential candidates, including Rubio, says Vance’s
position at the RNC is a “tremendous advantage”.
斯坦福大学胡佛研究所研究员、曾担任包括鲁比奥在内的多位
共和党总统候选人顾问的陈兰希表示，万斯在共和党全国委员
会的职位是一项“巨大优势”。
“When you talk to donors, they have interacted with the vice-
president. They have gotten to know him. They regard him
highly in many cases,” Chen adds.
“当你与捐赠者交谈时，你会发现他们曾与副总统有过接触。
他们已经了解了他。在许多情况下，他们对他评价很高，”陈补
充道。
“He has basically been blessed at this point . . . How much of
that blessing continues? That is the president’s decision,
ultimately. But I just do not see a world where JD Vance is
not the Republican nominee in 2028.”
“他目前基本上可谓顺风顺水……这种好运还能持续多久？这
最终取决于总统的决定。但我实在无法想象，2028 年共和党
提名候选人会不是 J·D·万斯。”
JD and Marco — friends or foes?
JD 和马可——是朋友还是敌人？
Hours before Vance took the stage in Iowa this month,
Rubio, a former presidential candidate in 2016, appeared at
the lectern in the White House briefing room.
就在本月万斯在爱荷华州登台演讲前的几个小时，曾参加
2016 年总统竞选的鲁比奥出现在白宫简报室的讲台上。
Filling in for White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt,
who is on maternity leave, the secretary of state confidently
fielded a range of questions from reporters.
由于白宫新闻秘书卡罗琳·利维特正在休产假，国务卿临时代
班，自信地回答了记者们提出的一系列问题。
His optimistic and seemingly improvised answer to a
question about his “hope” for America was promoted by both
the White House and Rubio’s own social media accounts and
set to swelling orchestral music.
他针对“对美国的希望”这一问题所作的乐观且看似即兴的回
答，不仅被白宫推广，也出现在鲁比奥本人的社交媒体账号
上，并配以气势恢宏的管弦乐背景音乐。
“Are we going to pretend like that’s not a presidential
candidate?” Republican strategist Josh Holmes later asked
on Ruthless , a popular conservative podcast.
“难道我们要假装那不是一位总统候选人吗？”共和党策略师乔
什·霍姆斯随后在热门保守派播客《Ruthless》中问道。

“JD is going to have to work for it,” replied co-host John
Ashbrook. “He’s going to be very hard to beat, but the reality
is there’s a race on.”
“JD 必须为此付出努力，”联合主持人约翰·阿什布鲁克回应
道。“他将很难被击败，但现实是，这场竞选已经拉开帷幕。”
The 54-year-old secretary of state has played an increasingly
central role in the second Trump administration as a driving
force behind the president’s interventionist foreign policy
agenda, from Venezuela to the Iran war.
这位 54 岁的国务卿在特朗普第二届政府中扮演着越来越重要
的角色，作为总统干涉主义外交政策议程背后的推动力量，其
影响力从委内瑞拉延伸至伊朗问题。
Vance, by contrast, has suffered foreign-policy setbacks.
相比之下，万斯在外交政策上却遭遇了挫折。
Last month, he sought to rally support for Hungarian prime
minister Viktor Orbán, who suffered a landslide defeat in
parliamentary elections days later.
上个月，他试图为匈牙利总理维克托·奥尔班争取支持，而奥
尔班在几天后的议会选举中遭遇了惨败。
An economic populist, Vance built his political brand in part
on opposing military intervention across the world, from
Ukraine to the Middle East. He endorsed the president’s bid
to return to office in January 2023 with a Wall Street Journal
article titled “Trump’s Best Foreign Policy? Not Starting Any
Wars.”
作为一名经济民粹主义者，万斯在一定程度上是通过反对从乌
克兰到中东等世界各地的军事干预来树立自己的政治形象的。
2023 年 1 月，他在《华尔街日报》上发表题为《特朗普最好
的外交政策？不发动任何战争》的文章，支持总统的连任竞
选。
But this year the Iran conflict has created awkward moments
for the vice-president, as the man who campaigned against
foreign entanglements has been forced to defend the
president’s war of choice in the Middle East.
但今年，伊朗问题给副总统带来了尴尬的处境，这位曾以反对
卷入海外事务为竞选纲领的政治家，如今却被迫为总统在中东
发动的这场“选择性战争”辩护。
Trump himself, who sent Vance last month on an ill-fated
attempt in Islamabad to broker a lasting agreement to end
the hostilities in Iran, has acknowledged that the vice-
president is “maybe less enthusiastic about going” to war and
“philosophically a little bit different”.
特朗普本人上个月曾派遣万斯前往伊斯兰堡，试图斡旋一项旨
在结束伊朗敌对行动的持久协议，但此次行动以失败告终。他
承认，副总统“或许对发动战争不太热衷”，且“在理念上略有
不同”。
Despite their apparent differences in ideological outlook,
Rubio has suggested he will defer to Vance if the vice-
president launches a 2028 bid. In an NBC interview at the
weekend Rubio called Vance a “phenomenal candidate”.
尽管两人在意识形态立场上存在明显分歧，但鲁比奥表示，如
果范斯决定参加 2028 年大选，他将支持范斯。上周末在接受
美国全国广播公司（NBC）采访时，鲁比奥称范斯是“一位非
凡的候选人”。
“I’ve said publicly, and I’ll say it again, I’ll be the first person
to sign up and support him,” the secretary of state added. “I
think JD would do great.”
“我之前已经公开说过，现在我要再重复一遍：我会是第一个
站出来支持他的人，”国务卿补充道。“我认为 JD 一定会做得
很好。”
But he side-stepped questions about whether he would like
to be president or vice-president himself. “I want to be the
secretary of state and I’ll worry about the future in the
future,” he said.
但他回避了关于自己是否希望担任总统或副总统的问题。“我
想当国务卿，至于未来的事，以后再说，”他说。

Vance was asked by reporters last week why the president
appeared to be pitting the two men against each other.
上周，有记者问万斯，为什么总统似乎在挑拨这两个人互相对
抗。
The vice-president replied that he and Rubio were “very
much focused on accomplishing the American people’s
business right now”.
副总统回应称，他和鲁比奥目前“正全力以赴处理美国人民关
切的事务”。
But, pressed further, he deadpanned: “I just don’t think it
sounds like the president of the United States to have a
televised competition for who would succeed him as his
apprentice. I just think that’s not at all what you would
expect the president to do.”
但当被进一步追问时，他一本正经地说道：“我只是觉得，让
美国总统在电视上举办一场比赛，来选出谁能接替他成为他的
学徒，这听起来实在不像总统会做的事。我只是觉得，这完全
不是人们对总统的期待。”
An uphill struggle? 一场艰苦的斗争？
With Trump’s approval ratings on the slide, Republicans
across the country are bracing for what could be a difficult
midterm election cycle — and already contemplating the
presidential campaigns that will start in earnest immediately
after the November 3 vote.
随着特朗普的支持率持续下滑，全美各地的共和党人正为可能
面临的艰难中期选举做准备——同时，他们已开始筹划 11 月 3
日投票结束后将正式启动的总统竞选活动。
Vance is widely seen as a talented debater, although he is still
a relative newcomer to electoral politics, having been picked
as Trump’s running mate when he was a first-term senator
for Ohio. He has at times stumbled on the stump, including
in Iowa this month. On one occasion he lost his place in his
notes and struggled to recall the name of a local Democratic
congressional candidate.
范斯被普遍视为一位才华横溢的辩手，尽管他在选举政治领域
还算是个新人——当时他刚当选俄亥俄州参议员第一任期，就
被选为特朗普的竞选搭档。他在竞选演讲中偶尔会出错，包括
本月在爱荷华州的那次。有一次，他读着讲稿时突然卡住了，
还费了好大劲才想起来一位当地民主党国会议员候选人的名
字。
“Marco Rubio has far more natural political instincts than
JD Vance,” said Whit Ayres, a Republican pollster who
played a central role in Rubio’s 2016 presidential campaign.
“马可·卢比奥的政治直觉远比 J·D·万斯更敏锐，”共和党民调专
家惠特·艾尔斯说道。他在卢比奥 2016 年的总统竞选活动中发
挥了关键作用。
Vance nevertheless remained the top choice among
conservative voters to be the Republican 2028 presidential
nominee at this year’s Conservative Political Action
Conference, a high-profile annual gathering held just outside
Dallas in March. But a straw poll of attendees suggested he
faces a growing threat from Rubio.
尽管如此，在今年 3 月于达拉斯郊外举行的备受瞩目的年度
盛会——保守派政治行动大会上，万斯仍是保守派选民心中
2028 年共和党总统候选人的首选。但对与会者进行的一项非
正式投票显示，他正面临来自鲁比奥的日益严峻的威胁。
The CPAC survey found Vance had the support of 53 per cent
of conference attendees, with 35 per cent backing Rubio.
CPAC 的调查显示，范斯获得了 53%的与会者支持，而鲁比奥
的支持率为 35%。
Last year, by contrast, Vance won the straw poll with 61 per
cent while Rubio came in a distant fourth, at just 3 per cent.
相比之下，去年万斯以 61%的支持率赢得了非正式投票，而
鲁比奥仅以 3%的支持率位列第四，与前几名拉开了很大差
距。
Other surveys give Vance a similar lead over potential rivals.
A RealClearPolitics average of national polls shows Vance
enjoys the backing of roughly 40 per cent of likely
Republican voters in a potential primary, about twice the
share who said they would support Rubio.
其他民调也显示，万斯在潜在对手中保持着类似的领先优势。
RealClearPolitics 对全国民调的综合数据显示，在可能举行的
初选中，万斯获得了约 40%的潜在共和党选民支持，这一比
例大约是表示将支持鲁比奥的选民比例的两倍。
Trump is barred under the US constitution from seeking a
third term in the White House.
根据美国宪法，特朗普不得寻求第三次入主白宫。
But critics and allies alike expect him to loom large over the
entire 2028 presidential election — and withhold any formal
endorsement for Vance, Rubio or any other hypothetical
Republican candidate for the foreseeable future.
但无论是批评者还是盟友，都预计他将在整个 2028 年总统大
选中发挥重要作用——并且在可预见的未来，不会对万斯、鲁
比奥或任何其他潜在的共和党候选人给予任何正式支持。
“[Trump] is not a typical lame duck president who feels that
the process . . . should be something that he is not involved
in,” says Kevin Madden, a senior partner at the consultancy
Penta who was a top adviser to Mitt Romney’s 2012
presidential campaign. “He is going to cast a very long
shadow over this entire . . . process.”
“特朗普并非那种认为……这一过程……与自己无关的典型‘跛脚
鸭’总统，”咨询公司 Penta 的高级合伙人凯文·马登说道。他曾
是米特·罗姆尼 2012 年总统竞选活动的高级顾问。“他将在整
个……过程中投下非常长的阴影。”
“The president is not going to want to pass the baton,” says
Marc Short, chief of staff to vice-president Mike Pence
during Trump’s first term. “This is going to drag out for quite
some time.”
“总统不会愿意交出权杖，”特朗普第一任期内副总统迈克·彭斯
的幕僚长马克·肖特表示，“这将拖上相当长一段时间。”
Faithful to Trump 忠于特朗普
The Iowa caucuses are still a year and a half away.
距离爱荷华州党团会议还有一年半的时间。
But with the midterms on the horizon and the expectation
that Democratic presidential hopefuls will officially launch
their own presidential bids later in the year, Republican
Party grandees in Des Moines are ready to talk about the
future.
但随着中期选举临近，且预计民主党总统候选人将在今年晚些
时候正式宣布参选，得梅因的共和党大佬们已准备好探讨未
来。
Jeff Kaufmann, chair of the Iowa Republican Party, says
Vance has shown he is a “team player” by campaigning for
Republican candidates across the country.
爱荷华州共和党主席杰夫·考夫曼表示，万斯通过为全国各地
的共和党候选人助选，证明了他是一个“团队合作者”。
Bob Vander Plaats, president of the Family Leader, an
influential conservative Christian organisation, praises the
vice-president as a “huge talent”. Kaufmann and Vander
Plaats both met Vance privately before the rally in Des
Moines.
鲍勃·范德·普拉茨（Bob Vander Plaats）是颇具影响力的保守
派基督教组织“家庭领袖”（The Family Leader）的主席，他
盛赞这位副总统是“一位极具才华的人”。考夫曼和范德·普拉
茨都在得梅因集会前与万斯进行了私下会面。
But Vander Plaats warns that in what is likely to be a
challenging year for Republicans, Vance has much to gain —
or lose — from the party’s performance in November.
但范德·普拉茨警告称，在共和党可能面临严峻挑战的这一年
里，万斯将因该党在 11 月的表现而获益良多——或蒙受重大
损失。

“These midterms will determine: is JD clearly the heir
apparent?” he said after the meeting. “It will eliminate a ton
of competition if [Republicans] are successful.”
“这次中期选举将决定：JD 是否已明确成为接班人？”他在会
后说道。“如果[共和党人]获胜，这将消除大量竞争。”
The strategy is not without its risks. Trump’s approval rating
with the wider electorate is declining, and the latest
RealClearPolitics average found just 40 per cent of
Americans approve of the job he is doing as president.
这一策略并非没有风险。特朗普在广大选民中的支持率正在下
滑，RealClearPolitics 的最新平均数据显示，仅有 40%的美
国人认可他作为总统的工作表现。
While Vance remains popular among the Republican base,
his overall approval ratings have also been weighed down as
the broader electorate sours on the Trump administration.
尽管万斯在共和党基层中依然颇受欢迎，但随着广大选民对特
朗普政府的好感度下降，他的整体支持率也随之走低。
For now, Vance remains faithful to Trump and has recently
taken on a new domestic portfolio as chair of the
administration’s anti-fraud task force.
目前，万斯依然忠于特朗普，并最近接手了一项新的国内事
务，担任政府反欺诈工作组的主席。
Allies insist standing by Trump is the only viable strategy in
a political environment dominated by a president who
rewards loyalty above all else.
盟友们坚称，在这样一种政治环境中——总统将忠诚置于一切
之上——支持特朗普是唯一可行的策略。
“JD rightfully knows that his future is going to rise and set
on how successful the Trump presidency is,” says one
Republican consultant close to the White House.
“JD 心知肚明，他的前途将取决于特朗普总统任期的成败，”一
位与白宫关系密切的共和党顾问表示。
In the ranks of the Des Moines faithful, support for Vance
still seemed strong — as did backing for his potential rival.
在得梅因的支持者群体中，对万斯的声援似乎依然强烈——对
他潜在对手的支持同样如此。
Asked who should be the Republican Party’s standard bearer
after Trump, David Lage — a 66-year-old wearing a red
baseball cap embroidered with the message “Jesus Is My
Savior, Trump is My President” — replied: “I would say
Vance is next in line. Rubio’s a real close second.”
当被问及特朗普之后谁应该成为共和党的领军人物时，戴着一
顶绣有“耶稣是我的救主，特朗普是我的总统”字样的红色棒球
帽的 66 岁男子大卫·拉格回答道：“我认为万斯是接班人。鲁
比奥紧随其后。”
