华盛顿—— 据知情人士向哥伦比亚广播公司新闻透露，特朗普政府将于未来几日派遣高级官员前往艾奥瓦州，助力共和党候选人竞选，其中包括财政部长斯科特·贝森特、美国贸易代表贾米森·格里尔、小企业管理局局长凯莉·勒夫勒、退伍军人事务部部长道格·柯林斯以及北约美国大使马特·惠特克。
将于本周四开幕、持续至8月23日的艾奥瓦州博览会，是竞选活动中极具关键意义的造势窗口。
面临激烈竞选的共和党议员包括：在艾奥瓦州第一国会选区对阵民主党候选人克里斯蒂娜·博南的玛丽安妮特·米勒-米克斯，以及在艾奥瓦州第三国会选区面临民主党候选人萨拉·特龙·加里奥特挑战的扎克·纳恩议员。共和党议员阿什利·辛森正参与美国参议院竞选，对阵民主党候选人乔希·图雷克。
目前尚不清楚特朗普政府的这些高级官员在艾奥瓦州的具体工作内容。《哈奇法案》旨在限制总统、副总统以外的行政部门雇员参与政治活动。
众议院多数党领袖史蒂夫·斯卡利斯已于周三抵达艾奥瓦州，一同随行的还有共和党全国委员会主席乔·格鲁特斯，以及密苏里州共和党众议员杰森·史密斯、明尼苏达州共和党众议员皮特·斯托伯和威斯康星州共和党众议员格伦·格罗特曼。

Washington— The Trump administration is dispatching top officials to help campaign for Iowa Republican candidates over the coming days, including Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer, Small Business Administration Administrator Kelly Loeffler, Veterans Affairs Secretary Doug Collins and U.S. Ambassador to NATO Matt Whitaker, sources familiar with the matter told CBS News.
The Iowa State Fair, which starts Thursday and runs through Aug. 23, is a pivotal window of opportunity for candidates on the campaign trail.
Facing tough races are Republican Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks, who is running against Democrat Christina Bohannan in Iowa’s 1st Congressional District, and Rep. Zach Nunn, who is being challenged by Democrat Sarah Trone Garriott in Iowa’s 3rd Congressional District. Republican Rep. Ashley Hinson is running for U.S. Senate against Democrat Josh Turek.
It’s not clear exactly what the top Trump administration officials will be doing while in Iowa. The Hatch Act is intended to limit the political activities of executive branch employees other than the president or vice president.
House Majority Leader Steve Scalise was in Iowa Wednesday, along with the head of the Republican National Committee, Joe Gruters, and Republican Reps. Jason Smith of Missouri, Pete Stauber of Minnesota, and Glenn Grothman of Wisconsin.
This is a developing story and will be updated.
