原文及翻译

Since replacing President Joe Biden as the Democratic presidential nominee, Vice President Kamala Harris has quickly consolidated power and energized a campaign that many Democrat leaders had worried about.

自从取代总统乔·拜登成为民主党总统候选人以来，副总统卡马拉·哈里斯迅速巩固了权力，并为许多民主党领导人担心的竞选活动注入了活力。

Meeting no meaningful challenge from other Democrats, Harris secured votes to be the nominee from 4,567 delegates — 99% of the participating delegates — in a virtual call earlier this month.

哈里斯没有遇到其他民主党人的有力挑战，在本月初的一次网络电话会议上，她获得了4,567名代表（占参与代表的 99%）的选票，成为候选人。

The campaign, together with the Democratic National Committee and other joint fundraising committees, raised a historic $310 million in July, dwarfing the tally for the Republican nominee, former President Donald Trump, in the same month. More than $200 million of Harris' haul came during the first week of her candidacy.

7月份，该竞选活动与民主党全国委员会和其他联合筹款委员会一起筹集了创纪录的3.1亿美元，远远超过了共和党候选人、前总统唐纳德·特朗普在同一个月的筹款额。哈里斯在竞选的第一周就筹集了超过2亿美元的资金。

"We've seen a groundswell of support. The type of grassroots support -- organizing and fundraising — that wins elections," said Kevin Munoz, a Harris campaign spokesperson.

“我们看到了民众的支持浪潮。正是这种草根支持——组织和筹款——赢得了选举，”哈里斯竞选团队发言人凯文·穆诺兹说。

However, the Trump campaign insists that the fundamentals of the race have not changed.

然而，特朗普竞选团队坚称，竞选的基本原则没有改变。

"The Democrats deposing one Nominee for another does NOT change voters discontent over the economy, inflation, crime, the open border, housing costs not to mention concern over two foreign wars,"Trump campaign pollster Tony Fabrizio said in a memo.

特朗普竞选民意调查专家托尼·法布里齐奥在一份备忘录中表示：“民主党罢免一位候选人，让另一位候选人上台，并不能改变选民对经济、通货膨胀、犯罪、开放边境、住房成本的不满，更不用说对两场外国战争的担忧了。”

Harris' "honeymoon" will soon end, he said. "While the public polls may change in the short run and she may consolidate a bit more of the Democrat base, Harris can't change who she is or what she's done."

他说，哈里斯的“蜜月期”很快就会结束。“虽然民调结果可能会在短期内发生变化，她可能会巩固更多的民主党基础，但哈里斯无法改变她是谁，也无法改变她做过什么。”

While the fundamentals have not changed, they were “being obstructed by concern about Biden’s age and cognitive abilities,” said Larry Sabato, director of the University of Virginia’s Center for Politics.

弗吉尼亚大学政治中心主任拉里·萨巴托表示，虽然基本面没有改变，但“因担心拜登的年龄和认知能力而受到阻碍”。

"Donald Trump is as unpopular as ever, and now he has an opponent who is much more appealing," he told VOA. "Democrats are back in the game."

他告诉美国之音：“唐纳德·特朗普和以往一样不受欢迎，现在他有了一个更具吸引力的对手。民主党又回到了游戏中。”
