密歇根州联邦参议员候选人阿卜杜勒·埃尔赛义德在一次采访中，当被问及与伯尼·桑德斯和众议员亚历山大·奥卡西奥-科特兹等知名左翼领导人的关联时，他表示自己“根本不是社会主义者”。

据埃尔赛义德的竞选网站显示，“小队”这一非正式左翼国会核心小组的全体成员，都已在密歇根州民主党参议院初选前背书埃尔赛义德。
“小队”成员包括纽约州民主党众议员亚历山大·奥卡西奥-科特兹、明尼苏达州民主党众议员伊尔汗·奥马尔、马萨诸塞州民主党众议员阿雅娜·普雷斯利、密歇根州民主党众议员拉希达·特莱布、宾夕法尼亚州民主党众议员萨默·李、伊利诺伊州民主党众议员德里亚·拉米雷斯和德克萨斯州民主党众议员格雷格·卡萨尔。
“小队”的多名现任和前任成员过去或现在都与美国民主党社会主义者协会存在关联，而埃尔赛义德正试图与该组织划清界限，以期在摇摆州的大选前调整自身立场。
此次全体一致的背书加剧了本周二初选的意识形态对抗，将埃尔赛义德与民主党最具影响力的进步派阵营绑定在一起，尽管他拒绝接受社会主义者标签，并试图将自己塑造成一位能在这个战场州胜出的合格候选人。如果埃尔赛义德击败更为温和的史蒂文斯进入大选，这些背书也将为共和党提供早期攻击口实。

“如今整个‘小队’都背书阿卜杜勒·埃尔赛义德，让他能在参议院延续其激进的社会主义、反美议程，密歇根选民会在投票箱前拒绝他们，”全国共和党参议员委员会地区新闻秘书萨曼莎·坎特雷尔告诉福克斯新闻数字频道。
卡萨尔是最近一位背书埃尔赛义德的“小队”成员，他于周四表达了支持。
“阿卜杜勒·埃尔赛义德展现了如何开展一场大胆的、支持工人阶级的竞选活动，”卡萨尔说。“众议院进步派需要参议院中有强有力的伙伴，才能把钱装进民众口袋、消除政治献金、实现‘全民医保’。我很自豪能背书阿卜杜勒。”

卡萨尔、奥卡西奥-科特兹、特莱布和李目前或过去都与美国民主党社会主义者协会有关联。埃尔赛义德曾一度与特莱布一同出席民主党社会主义者协会的活动。
埃尔赛义德曾作为主打嘉宾出席一场为底特律民主党社会主义者协会筹款的活动，筹得约1万美元，当时他与特莱布一同合影，两人身后的桌子上摆放着一张海报，上面画着一只标有“DSA”（民主党社会主义者协会缩写）的手扼住一条标有“资本主义”的蛇。
福克斯新闻数字频道此前曾报道，2017年至2020年间，这位密歇根州联邦参议员候选人曾出席六场民主党社会主义者协会的活动并发表演讲。该社会主义组织的组织者称埃尔赛义德是“底特律DSA的老朋友”。

尽管获得了社会主义者的背书，且长期与美国民主党社会主义者协会存在关联，埃尔赛义德仍拒绝接受社会主义者标签，并与该组织划清界限。
“我严格意义上或实际上都不属于DSA，”埃尔赛义德在7月初接受《华尔街日报》采访时表示。
在接受美国有线电视新闻网采访时，他称“我不是社会主义者。我信奉资本主义，只是认为资本主义需要受到监管。”

埃尔赛义德将在本周二的密歇根州民主党参议院初选中与众议员黑利·史蒂文斯对决。史蒂文斯被广泛认为是两人中立场更温和的一位。据《纽约时报》报道，多项民调普遍显示埃尔赛义德以显著优势领先史蒂文斯。
埃尔赛义德的竞选团队未回应置评请求。
Entire Squad endorses Abdul El-Sayed days before Michigan Democratic Senate primary
The progressive backing sharpens ideological stakes as El-Sayed distances himself from Democratic Socialists of America

By Robert Schmad
Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed said during an interview that he was “simply not a socialist” when pressed on his association with prominent left-wing leaders such as Bernie Sanders and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

Every member of the “Squad,” an informal left-wing congressional caucus, has endorsed Abdul El-Sayed ahead of Michigan’s Democratic Senate primary, according to his campaign website.
The Squad is made up of Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., Ayanna Pressley, D-Mass., Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., Summer Lee, D-Pa., Delia Ramirez, D-Ill., and Greg Casar, D-Texas.
Many of the squad’s current and former members have past or ongoing affiliations with the Democratic Socialists of America, an organization El-Sayed is attempting to distance himself from as he attempts to moderate ahead of a swing-state general election.
The unified endorsements sharpen the ideological stakes of the Tuesday primary, linking El-Sayed to the party’s most prominent progressive bloc even as he rejects the socialist label and seeks to present himself as a viable candidate in a battleground state. The support also gives Republicans an early line of attack should El-Sayed defeat the more centrist Stevens and advance to the general election.

“The entire Squad has now endorsed Abdul El-Sayed to carry on its radical, socialist, anti-American agenda in the U.S. Senate, and they will be rejected by Michiganders at the ballot box,” National Republican Senatorial Committee regional press secretary Samantha Cantrell told Fox News Digital.
Casar was the most recent Squad member to endorse El-Sayed, throwing his support behind him Thursday.
“Abdul El-Sayed is showing what it means to run a bold, pro-working class campaign,” Casar said. “House progressives need strong partners in the Senate in order to put money in your pocket, get money out of politics, and win Medicare for All. I’m proud to endorse Abdul.”

Casar, Ocasio-Cortez, Tlaib and Lee all have current or former Democratic Socialists of America affiliations. El-Sayed at one point even appeared at a Democratic Socialists of America event alongside Tlaib.
El-Sayed headlined that event, a fundraiser that brought in roughly $10,000 for the Detroit Democratic Socialists of America, and was photographed next to Tlaib behind a table with a poster on it depicting a hand labeled “DSA” choking a snake labeled “capitalism.”
The Michigan Senate hopeful attended and spoke at six Democratic Socialists of America events between 2017 and 2020, Fox News Digital previously reported. Organizers affiliated with the socialist organization have described El-Sayed as “a longtime friend of Detroit DSA.”

Despite pulling in endorsements from socialists and his long-time association with the Democratic Socialists of America, El-Sayed rejects the socialist label and has distanced himself from the group.
“I’m not technically or practically DSA,” El-Sayed told The Wall Street Journal in early July.
In an interview with CNN, he said that “I am not somebody who is a socialist. I believe in capitalism, I just believe that capitalism has to be regulated.”

El-Sayed faces off against Rep. Haley Stevens in Michigan’s Democratic Senate primary Tuesday. Stevens is widely viewed as the more centrist of the two. Polls generally show El-Sayed leading Stevens by a comfortable margin, according to the New York Times.
The El-Sayed campaign did not respond to a request for comment.
