Outside a firehouse turned food pantry in rural Michigan, dozens of residents wait in vehicles as volunteers help load household staples.

在密西根州農村一間轉型為食物銀行的消防局外，數十名居民在車裡等待，志工們正幫忙裝載家庭必需品。

Prices for many of these items have either surged or remained painfully high at the grocery store.

雜貨店裡，這些物品的價格大多已飆升或仍然高得令人難受。

Waiting in line at the food Pantry was something 35 year old mother of three Taylor Ludwig said she hoped wouldn't be necessary when she voted for Donald Trump last year.

35歲、育有三個孩子的泰勒·路德維希表示，去年投票給唐納·川普時，她希望不必排隊等候食物銀行。

It's definitely only a year into his term, so I'm going to kind of hold off a little bit before I really give my full judgment on things.

他的任期才剛開始一年，所以我會稍微等等，再對事情做出全面性的判斷。

I was very, very hopeful that things were really going to just kind of go back to what they were I'd say before Biden.

我非常、非常抱有希望，事情真的會回到我說的拜登之前的樣子。

Trump swept rural Michigan in 2024 on promises to ease the cost of living, but

川普在2024年橫掃密西根州農村，承諾要減輕生活成本，但

Testing that pledge and the patience of voters who helped put him back in the White House, Ludwig said the Republican Party could lose her vote in next November's midterm congressional elections if Trump doesn't move faster to fulfill his 2024 campaign promise.

路德維希表示，這考驗著他的承諾以及幫助他重返白宮的選民的耐心，如果川普不加快腳步實現他2024年的競選承諾，共和黨可能會在今年11月的國會期中選舉中失去她的選票。

I mean, I'm a realistic person and I'm not just going to follow along somebody like a sheep, you know, I'm just not going to do that.

我的意思是，我是一個現實主義者，我不會像綿羊一樣跟著別人走，你知道的，我就是不會這麼做。

Ludwig was among 19 Trump voters Reuters recently interviewed in the eastern Michigan town of Capac and other parts of St.

路德維希是路透社最近在密西根州東部卡帕克鎮和聖克萊爾縣其他地區採訪的 19 位川普選民之一。

該地區近年來共和黨的勢力穩步增長，在 2024 年選舉中以超過 66% 的得票率支持川普。

The region has grown steadily more Republican in recent years, backing Trump by more than 66% in the 2024 election.

大多數受訪者表示，他們仍然將通貨膨脹歸咎於前總統喬·拜登，

Most of those interviewed said they still blamed former President Joe Biden for inflation, and

並且所有人都指出，在川普執政下，汽油價格下跌約 8% 是一項積極的發展。

all pointed to around an 8% drop in gas prices as a positive development under Trump.

儘管如此，一半的受訪者表示，他們或他們的家人在維持生計方面面臨困難。

Still, half of the respondents said they or their families were struggling to make ends meet.

福特告訴路透社，如果通貨膨脹和其他經濟狀況在明年的選舉前沒有改善，他們可能會認真考慮在 2026 年支持民主黨，而有十幾個人表示他們仍然會投票給共和黨。

Ford told Reuters that if inflation and other economic conditions did not improve by next year's elections, they could see themselves giving Democrats a serious look in 2026, while a dozen said they would still vote Republican.

全國通貨膨脹率約為 2022 年年中超過 9% 高峰的三分之一，但

Inflation nationwide is running at roughly a third of its mid-2022 peak of more than 9%, but

這個數字掩蓋了牛肉、咖啡和柳橙汁等一些日常必需品價格的急劇上漲，這些商品今年的漲幅達到了兩位數。

that figure masks sharp increases in some everyday staples such as beef, coffee and orange juice, which have climbed at double digit rates this year.

我當然在雜貨店購物時謹慎多了。

Certainly I'm a lot more cautious at the grocery store.

55 year old Michael Wendling has four children and voted for Trump in 2024.

55歲的Michael Wendling有四個孩子，並在2024年投票給川普。

Never before in my life have I felt the impact of inflation.

我這輩子從未感受過通貨膨脹的影響。

You know your wage would rise commensurate with the cost to live.

你知道你的薪水會隨著生活成本而上漲。

But right now inflation is off the chart and wages aren't going up.

但現在通貨膨脹失控，薪水卻沒漲。

所以這真的很讓人為難，真的很讓人為難。

Economists say there's little a president can do to quickly bring down prices and note that Trump's tariffs raise import costs that are largely passed on to consumers.

經濟學家表示，總統能做的來快速降低物價的空間很小，並指出川普的關稅增加了進口成本，這些成本大部分都轉嫁給了消費者。

Trump has not said how he will bring down prices.

川普沒有說明他將如何降低物價。

But in a rare address from the White House, Trump blamed Biden for rising prices and promised that Americans will benefit from tax cuts passed by Congress that are set to take effect in January.

但在一次罕見的白宮演說中，川普將物價上漲歸咎於拜登，並承諾美國人民將從國會通過並將於一月生效的減稅措施中受益。

In Port Huron, Trump voter Marisa Butarocco said she wasn't ready to blame the president yet, but

在Port Huron，川普的選民Marisa Butarocco表示，她還沒準備好歸咎於總統，但

We didn't get here overnight, and so we just have to have some grace.

我們不是一夕之間變成這樣的，所以我們需要多點耐心。

And I understand the struggle with everybody and as well as myself, I wish he would take that into accountability and do more things, you know, quicker.

我明白大家和我自己一樣都在掙扎，我希望他能承擔責任，並且更快地做更多事。

I just know that hopefully he's going to do it soon.
