- 特朗普原本仅计划在这场不同寻常的中期代表大会上发表闭幕演讲
- 一名共和党官员透露，他还将在首日晚间发表演讲
- 大会将与 NFL 新赛季揭幕战争夺观众注意力
华盛顿9月2日（路透电）——一名共和党官员周三表示，唐纳德·特朗普总统下周将在共和党非常规的中期代表大会两晚的活动中均发表演讲，这一扩展后的演讲安排将与NFL新赛季揭幕战争夺观众目光。
该不愿透露姓名的官员称，特朗普原本定于9月9日至10日在达拉斯举行的代表大会的周四晚间发表闭幕致辞，如今他将在周三晚间发表基调演讲，并同样于周四晚间在副总统JD·万斯之后发表讲话。

“特朗普总统希望为整个代表大会定下基调，”该共和党官员解释特朗普将在首日晚间发表演讲的原因。
此次调整之际，一些共和党内部人士告诉路透社，他们担忧共和党全国委员会可能难以吸引党员和活动人士参会。
当前特朗普正面临支持率疲软的困境，原因是选民对伊朗战争持续不满以及居高不下的通胀，这也增加了共和党候选人在11月选举中保住本党微弱国会多数席位的难度。
本次代表大会于劳动节后周一开幕，而竞选活动通常在此时启动通往选举日的最后冲刺阶段。

另一位要求匿名的共和党高级官员表示，他听闻共和党难以吸引参会者，白宫以及特朗普的政治团队已加大力度鼓励共和党人参会。
主办方此前有信心此次代表大会的举办地美国航空中心场馆将座无虚席。
但一位了解此次活动的共和党幕僚称，由于组织者未能找到足够多的共和党官员和捐赠者参会，大会将允许比最初计划更多的普通支持者入场。
在经历了数月与伊朗战争和生活成本上涨相关的负面新闻后，共和党官员将此次集会视为在11月3日选举前动员选民支持特朗普议程的最佳契机。
不过一些共和党人仍对大会能否切实改变选民意向持怀疑态度。
代表大会首日晚间将与新英格兰爱国者队和西雅图海鹰队的超级碗 rematch 撞期，该赛事将在NBC及其流媒体服务平台Peacock播出。
周四晚间，特朗普和万斯将与备受期待的NFL对决争夺观众——旧金山49人队与洛杉矶公羊队在澳大利亚墨尔本的对决，将独家在Netflix平台流媒体播出。

- Summary
- Trump had originally planned to only deliver closing address at the unusual midterm convention
- He will also speak on the first night, party official says
- Convention will compete for viewers with start of NFL season
WASHINGTON, Sept 2 (Reuters) – President Donald Trump will now speak on both nights of the Republican Party’s unusual midterm convention next week, a party official said on Wednesday, an expanded role that will compete for viewers with the start of the NFL season.
Trump had originally been scheduled to deliver an address on Thursday to close out the September 9-10 convention in Dallas, but now will deliver the keynote speech on Wednesday and speak after Vice President JD Vance on Thursday evening as well, the party official said on condition of anonymity.

“President Trump wants to set the tone for the entire convention,” the party official said, explaining why Trump was now going to speak on the first night.
The change comes as some party insiders have told Reuters they are concerned the Republican National Committee may struggle to attract members and activists to the event.
Trump is grappling with weak approval ratings amid voter dissatisfaction over the Iran war and persistent inflation, raising the stakes for Republican candidates fighting to preserve their party’s narrow congressional majorities in November.
The convention begins just after Labor Day on Monday, when campaigns typically start their final sprint toward Election Day.

Another senior Republican Party official, who asked to remain unidentified, said he has heard the party is struggling to attract attendees to the convention and that the White House and Trump’s political team have stepped up efforts to encourage Republicans to attend.
Organizers have expressed confidence that the American Airlines Center arena, where the convention is being held, will be filled.
One Republican operative familiar with the event, however, said he had heard the convention will allow more everyday supporters than initially planned because organizers have not been able to find enough Republican officials and donors to attend.
After months of negative headlines tied to the Iran war and rising living costs, party officials see the gathering as their best opportunity to rally voters behind Trump’s agenda ahead of the November 3 election.
Some Republicans, however, remain skeptical it can meaningfully shift voter sentiment.
The convention’s opening night will coincide with a Super Bowl rematch between the New England Patriots and Seattle Seahawks, airing on NBC and its streaming service, Peacock.
On Thursday night, Trump and Vance will compete for viewers with a highly anticipated NFL rivalry matchup between the San Francisco 49ers and Los Angeles Rams in Melbourne, Australia, which will stream exclusively on Netflix.
