福克斯新闻 前总统吉米·卡特为民主党中期选举支招

Former President Jimmy Carter is cautioning Democrats¹ their path to defeating President Trump² and the Republicans depends on independents and moderates.

The former president insists moderates "need to know they can invest their vote in the Democratic party" in the November midterms and the 2020 presidential election.

Carter acknowledges he supported Democratic socialist³ Bernie Sanders over establishment favorite Hillary Clinton for the 2016 Democratic presidential nomination⁴.

But Carter adds too "liberal a program" can scare many voters.

前总统吉米·卡特告诫民主党同仁，他们打败特朗普总统和共和党人的道路取决于独立派和温和派。

这位前总统强调，针对11月的中期选举和2020年的总统大选，温和派“要明白，他们可以放心地将选票投给民主党。”

卡特承认，2016年时他选择了支持民主党社会主义者伯尼·桑德斯，而不是呼声更高的希拉里·克林顿做民主党总统候选人。

但卡特补充说，“方案太自由的话”可能会吓到很多选民。
