宾夕法尼亚州州长乔什·夏皮罗（D）正在启动一个新的政治行动委员会（PAC），引发人们对该州长可能在2028年竞选总统的猜测。
Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro (D) is launching a new political action committee (PAC), raising speculation that the governor may run for president in 2028.
该委员会名为“新路径PAC”，其网站称其致力于选举将反对特朗普总统的候选人。
The committee, called New Path PAC, says on its website that it is dedicated to electing candidates who will oppose President Trump.
网站上写道：“新路径PAC将帮助乔什·夏皮罗州长建立一场运动，让公众站起来，提出更多诉求，并选举出将对唐纳德·特朗普和JD·万斯的混乱、残忍和腐败进行制衡的候选人。”
“New Path PAC will help Governor Josh Shapiro build a movement to get citizens to rise up, demand more, and elect candidates who will put a check on Donald Trump and JD Vance’s chaos, cruelty, and corruption,” the website says.
夏皮罗被视为2028年民主党总统候选人的众多潜在人选之一。他在宾夕法尼亚州的受欢迎程度——昆尼皮亚克大学本月早些时候的一项民调显示其工作批准率为62%——提升了他在党内的一些人的看法。但首先，夏皮罗必须赢得连选，民调一直显示他领先优势明显。
Shapiro is considered one of many potential presidential candidates for Democrats in 2028. His popularity in Pennsylvania — a Quinnipiac University poll earlier this month found his job approval at 62 percent — has raised his stock among some in the party. But first, Shapiro has to win reelection, with polls consistently showing he has a comfortable lead.
昆尼皮亚克民调显示，他在可能投票者中以60%对34%、领先共和党对手26个百分点。非党派选举预测机构Decision Desk HQ（该机构是《国会山报》的合作伙伴）给出夏皮罗连选获胜的概率为95%。
The Quinnipiac poll put him ahead of his Republican opponent by 26 points, 60 percent to 34 percent, among likely voters. Nonpartisan election forecaster Decision Desk HQ, a partner of The Hill, gives Shapiro a 95 percent chance of winning reelection.
但即使在他的州长竞选期间，夏皮罗已经在接受关于他未来抱负的提问。在10月7日与共和党对手、宾夕法尼亚州财政部长斯泰西·加里蒂的辩论中，主持人问夏皮罗，如果他在11月连选成功，是否承诺完成他作为州长的完整四年任期。
But even in his gubernatorial campaign, Shapiro is already receiving questions about his future ambitions. In an Oct. 7 debate against his Republican opponent Stacy Garrity, the Pennsylvania state treasurer, moderators asked Shapiro whether he would commit to serving his full four-year term as governor if he is reelected in November.
夏皮罗没有直接回答，而是表示，如果加里蒂赢得州长选举，她将无法完成她作为财政部长的任期。
Instead of answering directly, Shapiro said that Garrity would not finish her term as treasurer if she were to win the governor’s race.
“财政部长承诺她将履行完整的任期，”夏皮罗说。“她显然违背了这一承诺，而我将尽我所能确保她能够履行完整的四年任期。”过去被问及他是否会参加总统竞选时，夏皮罗从未直接回答这个问题。但他在四月份的一次大会上告诉阿尔·夏普顿牧师，他将“参与”关于该党未来的讨论。
“The treasurer made a commitment she would serve her full term as treasurer,” Shapiro said. “She’s obviously broken that, and I’m going to do everything in my power to ensure she’s able to serve all four years.”When asked in the past if he will run for president, Shapiro has not answered the question directly. But he told Rev. Al Sharpton at a convention in April that he will “be a part of” conversations about the party’s future.
