密歇根州底特律——阿卜杜勒·埃尔赛义德在密歇根州高风险的民主党参议院初选中击败温和派众议员黑利·史蒂文斯，对于左翼与中左翼建制派的意识形态斗争而言，是该党左翼阵营的一次重大提振。
这一结果也为共和党人提供了现成弹药，他们正试图拿下这个关键的摇摆州参议院席位——民主党必须保住该席位，才能在中期选举中夺回参议院控制权。
共和党提名候选人、前众议员迈克·罗杰斯在初选前接受福克斯新闻数字频道采访时表示，埃尔赛义德“对密歇根州来说太过极端了。阿卜杜勒啊，他有自己一套疯狂的独特论调”。

密歇根州民主党参议院候选人阿卜杜勒·埃尔赛义德瞄准共和党对手前众议员迈克·罗杰斯，中期选举对决即刻打响
认识这些在2026年中期选举中向民主党宣战的极左翼颠覆者

埃尔赛义德是极左翼人物，获得了佛蒙特州参议员伯尼·桑德斯、纽约州众议员亚历山德里亚·奥卡西奥-科特兹以及“ Squad”其他成员等进步派领袖和社会主义者的支持。
作为韦恩县前卫生部门主管，埃尔赛义德如果在11月当选，将成为美国历史上首位穆斯林参议员。他是一名流行病学家，曾在2018年以颠覆者身份参选州长但未成功。他将支持“全民医保”作为竞选的核心主张之一。
他还呼吁废除移民与海关执法局（ICE），并在以色列与哈马斯的战争中直言不讳地批评以色列，甚至将以色列在加沙的行动定性为对巴勒斯坦人的“种族灭绝”。曾作为桑德斯2020年总统竞选的核心 surrogates 之一的埃尔赛义德，还誓言不接受政治行动委员会（PAC）的捐款。
埃尔赛义德在初选中的胜利引发了一些疑问：已故众议员约翰·丁格尔——其在国会的漫长任期内以“众议院院长”闻名——及其妻子、现任密歇根国会代表团团长黛比·丁格尔所在的民主党，是否已经整体向左倾斜？还是说这只是单次选举的特殊情况？
迈克·罗杰斯称阿卜杜勒·埃尔赛义德是“一套疯狂的独特论调”
“目前尚不清楚民主党是否已经大幅左倾，”中左翼领先民主党组织“第三条道路”的领导人之一马特·贝内特告诉福克斯新闻数字频道。
贝内特指出，全国各地的民主党人对总统唐纳德·特朗普的反对情绪日益强烈，他表示密歇根州的初选结果可能是“候选人因素起作用的特殊情况”。
“在当下，全国各地的民主党选民都对特朗普极为愤怒，他们正在掀翻桌子，将怒火发泄到建制派身上，而黑利无论好坏，都是以建制派身份参选的。”
密歇根州立大学公共政策与社会研究研究所主任、政治学教授马特·格罗斯曼指出了所谓的“招募失败”。
“史蒂文斯并非任何人的首选，”格罗斯曼在谈及史蒂文斯时说道，他提到民主党方面曾试图招募任期将满的州长格蕾琴·惠特默或前交通部长皮特·布蒂吉格参选，以接替即将退休的民主党参议员加里·彼得斯，但均未成功。

他还指出，全国各地的民主党人对以色列在加沙持续开展的军事行动的反对情绪日益高涨，且亲以色列利益集团在这场历来耗资巨大的参议院初中投下了巨额外部资金，以支持史蒂文斯、打击埃尔赛义德，格罗斯曼补充道：“在这样的年份，推出可找到的最亲以色列候选人，是个糟糕的策略。”
此次初选耗资超过8000万美元，成为美国历史上耗资最高的民主党参议院提名争夺战。其中大部分资金来自支持史蒂文斯或反对埃尔赛义德的外部团体。最大的支出方是联合民主项目（United Democracy Project），这是一个与美国以色列公共事务委员会（AIPAC）结盟的政治行动委员会，该委员会常以其首字母缩写AIPAC为人熟知。
埃尔赛义德表示，他的胜败不难理解。
周日在接受福克斯新闻数字频道采访时，他说：“我们的工作是倾听民众的声音，这也是我们启动竞选以来一直坚持的……了解民众生活中面临的挑战。”
“我认为民众在告诉我们，他们希望金钱远离政治，希望钱能装进自己的口袋，希望实现全民医保，”他强调道。“您知道，背书不会投票。民众才会投票。我认为现在人们正用自己的双脚做出选择。”

密歇根州民主党参议院候选人阿卜杜勒·埃尔赛义德对黑利·史蒂文斯获得的建制派背书不以为意：“背书不会投票。民众才会投票。”
进步派主要组织“进步变革竞选委员会”（PCCC）的联合创始人亚当·格林谈及埃尔赛义德以微弱优势击败史蒂文斯时告诉福克斯新闻数字频道：“在击败由AIPAC和企业利益集团投入6000万美元外部资金支持的对手后，任何胜利都是巨大的胜利，这为我们在11月证明自己、撼动体制铺平了道路。”
进步派与建制派的斗争也在密歇根州第七国会选区上演，该选区是共和党控制的摇摆席位，预计将是决定众议院控制权的约24个关键选区之一。
威廉·劳伦斯击败了另外两名温和派民主党人。劳伦斯获得了桑德斯、埃尔赛义德以及多个知名进步团体的支持。他将在大选中对阵共和党众议员汤姆·巴雷特。
民主党内部的斗争也在密歇根州深蓝的第十三国会选区上演。
获众议院民主党高层支持的众议员什里·塔内达尔以微弱劣势被州众议员多诺万·麦金尼击败。麦金尼获得了桑德斯、埃尔赛义德以及“Squad”成员明尼苏达州众议员伊尔汗·奥马尔、马萨诸塞州众议员阿雅娜·普雷斯利和宾夕法尼亚州众议员萨默·李的支持。
贝内特指出，密歇根州民主党参议员埃莉萨·斯洛特金在2024年参议院初选中以压倒性优势击败了一名更进步的对手，随后在大选中以微弱优势击败罗杰斯，赢得连任——而密歇根州正是特朗普以微弱优势获胜的州。
贝内特和格罗斯曼还指出，周二赢得民主党州长初选的密歇根州国务卿乔斯林·本森，以及获得连任提名的总检察长达纳·内塞尔，都绝非左翼人士。
“民主党并未大幅左倾，但本次初选确实如此，”贝内特在谈及埃尔赛义德击败史蒂文斯时说道。

Dems’ leftward lurch gets legs as El-Sayed’s Michigan Senate victory sparks party debate
2026-08-05 10:30 EDT / Fox News
Far-left candidate backed by Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez would make history as first Muslim US senator

Abdul El-Sayed, the farl left Democratic Senate nominee in battleground Michigan, delivers an olive branch to moderate Rep. Haley Stevens, who he narrowly edged in the primary.
NEW You can now listen to Fox News articles!
DETROIT, MI – Abdul El-Sayed’s victory over moderate Rep. Haley Stevens in Michigan’s high-stakes Democratic Senate primary is a massive boost for the party’s left-wing in its ideological battle with the center-left establishment.
It also gives instant ammunition to Republicans aiming to flip a crucial battleground Senate seat the Democrats must hold as part of their midterm push to win back control of the chamber.
Republican nominee former Rep. Mike Rogers, in a Fox News Digital interview ahead of the primary, argued that El-Sayed is “way too extreme for Michigan. I mean, Abdul, he has his own special sauce of crazy.”

Democratic Senate nominee in Michigan Abdul El-Sayed takes aim at Republican rival former Rep. Mike Rogers as midterm battle instantly ignites
MEET THE FAR LEFT INSURGENTS WAGING WAR ON THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY IN THE 2026 MIDTERMS
https://www.foxnews.com/video/6402686175112
El-Sayed is a far-left figure backed by progressive champions and socialists like Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York and other members of the Squad.
A former Wayne County Health Department director, El-Sayed, if elected in November, would make history as the nation’s first Muslim senator. He is an epidemiologist who unsuccessfully ran for governor as an insurgent candidate in 2018. He has made support for “Medicare-for-all” a major component of his campaign.
He has also called for abolishing Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), and is a vocal critic of Israel amid its war with Hamas — even characterizing Israel’s actions in Gaza as “genocide” against Palestinians. El-Sayed, who served as a top surrogate on Sanders’ 2020 presidential campaign, has also vowed not to accept PAC donations.
El-Sayed’s primary election victory has some wondering if the party of the late Rep. John Dingell, who was famously known as the “Dean of the House” during his historic tenure in Congress, and his wife Rep. Debbie Dingell, the current dean of the Michigan congressional delegation, has broadly shifted to the left, or if this is a one-off election dynamic.
MIKE ROGERS ARGUES ABDUL EL-SAYED IS ‘A SPECIAL SAUCE OF CRAZY’
“It’s not all that clear that the party has shifted that far to the left,” Matt Bennett, one of the leaders at the Third Way, a leading center-left Democratic organization, told Fox News Digital.
Pointing to the increasing visceral opposition to President Donald Trump by Democrats across the country, Bennett said the primary results in Michigan may be “a unique situation where candidates matter.”
“And in this moment Democratic voters everywhere are very very angry at Trump and they’re flipping over the tables and taking it out on the establishment and Haley, for better or worse, has run as the establishment.”
Matt Grossmann, director of the Institute for Public Policy and Social Research and political science professor at Michigan State University, pointed to what he called a “recruitment failure.”
“Stevens was no one’s first choice,” Grossman said of Stevens, as he referred to unsuccessful efforts to recruit term-limited Democratic Gov. Gretchen Whitmer or former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg to launch a campaign in the race to succeed retiring Democratic Sen. Gary Peters.
DEMOCRACY ’26: STAY UP TO DATE WITH THE FOX NEWS ELECTION HUB
Noting growing opposition among Democrats nationwide to Israel’s ongoing military operations against Hamas in Gaza, and the massive amounts of outside money spent in the historically expensive Senate primary by groups aligned with pro-Israel interests to help Stevens and target El-Sayed, Grossman added “this was a terrible year to be running the most pro-Israel candidate available.”
More than $80 million was spent on the primary, making it the most expensive Democratic Senate nomination contest in history. Much of the money came from outside groups supporting Stevens or opposing El-Sayed. The largest spender was United Democracy Project, a political action committee aligned with the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, which is best known by its acronym AIPAC.
El-Sayed said his victory is easy to understand.
Speaking with Fox News Digital on Sunday, he said “our job is to listen to folks, as it has been since we kicked off this campaign… to understand the challenges people have in their lives.”
“I think the people are telling us that they want money out of politics. Money in your pocket, Medicare-for-all,” he emphasized. “You know, endorsements don’t vote. People vote. And I think right now people are voting with their feet.”

Michigan Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed shrugs off Haley Stevens’ establishment endorsements: ‘Endorsements don’t vote. People vote.’
Adam Green, co-founder of the Progressive Change Campaign Committee (PCCC), a leading group on the left, referred to El-Sayed narrow margin over Stevens and told Fox News Digital that “any win against $60 million dollars of outside spending by AIPAC and corporate interests is a giant win and sets us on a path of proving our case in November to shake up the system.”
The progressive-versus-establishment battle also played out in Michigan’s 7th Congressional District, a Republican-controlled swing seat that is among roughly two dozen races expected to help determine control of the House.
William Lawrence, a co-founder of the Sunrise Movement climate advocacy group, edged out two more moderate Democrats. Lawrence was backed by Sanders and El-Sayed, as well as several prominent progressive groups. He will face Republican Rep. Tom Barrett in the general election.
The party’s internal battle was also on display in Michigan’s heavily Democratic 13th Congressional District.
Rep. Shri Thanedar, who was supported by top House Democratic leaders, was narrowly defeated by state Rep. Donovan McKinney. McKinney was backed by Sanders, El-Sayed and “Squad” members Reps. Ilhan Omar of Minnesota, Ayanna Pressley of Massachusetts and Summer Lee of Pennsylvania.
Bennett noted that Democratic Sen. Elissa Slotkin of Michigan crushed a more progressive rival in the 2024 Senate primary before winning the general election by a razor-thin margin over Rogers in a state that President Donald Trump narrowly carried.

And Bennett and Grossman pointed out that Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson, who won the Democratic gubernatorial primary on Tuesday, and Attorney General Dana Nessel, who was renominated, are far from left-wingers.
“The party hasn’t shifted far to the left but this particular primary did,” Bennett argued, as he referred to El-Sayed’s victory over Stevens.
