密歇根州联邦参议员加里·彼得斯（民主党）信心满满地表示，极左翼民主党参议院候选人阿卜杜勒·埃尔赛义德将击败共和党候选人迈克·罗杰斯，接任他的参议院席位，尽管他此前曾支持埃尔赛义德的初选对手、众议员黑利·史蒂文斯。
作为进步派激进候选人的埃尔赛义德，将在即将到来的中期选举中与密歇根州共和党参议院候选人迈克·罗杰斯展开正面交锋。埃尔赛义德的胜利，是今年左翼民主党人又一次获胜——他们一直在努力击败现任民主党建制派。
“如果你从整体议题来看，阿卜杜勒·埃尔赛义德和罗杰斯在为密歇根州家庭奋斗方面的分歧非常明显，”当被问及他的极左翼立场是否会让共和党在密歇根州获得优势时，彼得斯对福克斯新闻数字频道说道。

他继续说道：“而最终，这就是他将胜出的原因。”
彼得斯支持史蒂文斯而非埃尔赛义德，是主流民主党人击败另一位进步派候选人的整体举措之一，而共和党人普遍认为埃尔赛义德获胜将有助于他们拿下密歇根州的参议院席位。罗杰斯在初选结果公布前接受福克斯新闻数字频道采访时表示，他将“击败这两位候选人中的任何一位”，但埃尔赛义德有“他自己特有的疯狂特质”。
史蒂文斯与埃尔赛义德之间的竞选竞争激烈，这场角逐成为民主党能否重新夺回参议院多数席位的关键因素。此次初选投入了超过8000万美元，成为史上耗资最高的民主党参议院提名竞选。

共和党人猜测，提名民主社会主义候选人的趋势表明，现任民主党建制派正在这些国会选举中失去掌控力。
彼得斯反驳了这一说法，他认为选举结果并不代表整个民主党，因为这“对该州来说并非新鲜事”。
“密歇根州是一个非常多元化的州，你应该还记得，多年前伯尼·桑德斯在密歇根州的初选中击败了希拉里·克林顿，所以这并非新鲜事，”彼得斯说道，他指的是2016年密歇根州民主党总统初选。

埃尔赛义德曾担任韦恩县卫生部门主任，若当选将成为首位穆斯林参议员。他呼吁废除警察拨款、废除移民及海关执法局（ICE）。他还强烈批评以色列，称该国在加沙的行动是对巴勒斯坦人的种族灭绝。
彼得斯拒绝就埃尔赛义德的政策立场——比如废除警察拨款——发表评论，尽管他对这位民主党候选人击败罗杰斯充满信心。
“我不在参选名单上，所以我不必发表这类言论，”彼得斯说道。

Sen. Gary Peters, D-Mich., is confident that far-left Democratic Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed will defeat Republican nominee Mike Rogers in the race to replace him in the Senate, despite having endorsed El-Sayed’s primary rival, Rep. Haley Stevens.
El-Sayed, known as a progressive insurgent, will go head-to-head with Michigan’s Republican Senate nominee Mike Rogers in the upcoming midterm elections. El-Sayed’s victory marks yet another win for the left-wing Democrats in this year’s primaries that have been battling to defeat the current Democratic establishment.
“I think if you look at the issues broadly, the differences between Abdul El-Sayed and Rogers when it comes to fighting for families in Michigan, it’s pretty broad,” Peters said to Fox News Digital when asked if his far-left positions could give Republicans a boost in Michigan.

He continued, “And in the end, that’s why he will prevail.”
Peters’ endorsement of Stevens over El-Sayed was part of a broader effort by mainstream Democrats to beat another progressive candidate, as Republicans largely viewed El-Sayed winning as a boost for their party’s chances to flip Michigan’s Senate seat. Rogers told Fox News Digital in an interview prior to the primary results that he would “beat either one of those candidates,” but that El-Sayed has “his own special sauce of crazy.”
The race between Stevens and El-Sayed was strenuous as it became a determining factor of whether Democrats could win the majority back in the Senate. More than $80 million was poured into this primary, qualifying it as the most expensive Democratic Senate nomination race in history.

Republicans have speculated that the turn to nominating Democratic socialist candidates indicates that the current Democratic establishment is losing its grip in these congressional races.
Peters pushed back on this claim, arguing that the results aren’t reflective of the entire party as this is “nothing new” for the state.
“Michigan is a very diverse state, and if you recall, Bernie Sanders beat Hillary Clinton many years ago in a primary in Michigan, so this is nothing new,” Peters said, referring to the state’s 2016 Democratic presidential primary.
Sanders, I-Vt., endorsed El-Sayed in his Senate primary to defeat Stevens.

El-Sayed, a former Wayne County Health Department director, would be the first Muslim senator. He has called for defunding the police and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). He is also a strong critic of Israel, labeling the country’s actions as genocide against Palestinians in Gaza.
Peters declined to weigh in on where he falls on El-Sayed’s policy positions — like defunding the police — despite expressing confidence the Democratic nominee will defeat Rogers.
“I’m not on the ballot, so I don’t have to make those kinds of statements,” Peters said.
