密歇根州联邦参议院共和党提名候选人迈克·罗杰斯正加大力度争取民主党选民的支持,此前民主党推选进步派人士阿卜杜勒·埃尔赛义德作为这场摇摆选区选战的候选人。
在首次分享给美国有线电视新闻网(CNN)的一段新视频中,罗杰斯直接对着镜头发言,向那些对周二初选结果感到失望的民主党人阐明自己的立场。曾担任公共卫生官员的埃尔赛义德以1个百分点的优势击败众议员黑利·史蒂文斯,这场充满争议的初选让双方支持者之间产生了嫌隙。
“如果你属于大多数民主党选民,周三醒来后感到绝望,因为获胜者并不代表你的价值观,那么请记住,仍有希望,”罗杰斯说道。“密歇根州理应拥有一位随时愿意与你会面、倾听你的诉求并代表你的参议员。”

从华盛顿到密歇根州的民主党领导人迅速团结在埃尔赛义德身后,但共和党人希望借此强调这场激烈初选留下的分歧。史蒂文斯已经表态支持埃尔赛义德,两人还在周四的团结活动中拥抱。双方都批评了罗杰斯,并强调了民主党在11月保住该席位的重要性。
在视频中,罗杰斯与妻子克里斯蒂并肩而坐,特别向多个选民群体发出呼吁,比如希望获得更多经济适用房的年轻人。他告诉他们,他的竞选团队“有你们的一席之地”,并承诺将努力争取他们的支持。
埃尔赛义德也提出了两党合作的主张。在周三的胜选演讲中,他邀请所有人加入他的竞选团队,“无论你支持过我,还是从未支持过我,无论你在2024年投票给副总统卡玛拉·哈里斯,还是投票给唐纳德·特朗普。”

与此同时,埃尔赛义德并未对罗杰斯手下留情,称他依附于企业利益,是一名试图“舔舐唐纳德·特朗普旗下每一只靴子”的候选人。
美以关系是民主党初选期间的主要摩擦点之一。美国以色列公共事务委员会通过其超级政治行动委员会斥资超过3000万美元攻击埃尔赛义德——这位以尖锐批评以色列立场著称的候选人。在埃尔赛义德获胜后,该组织表示其成员“仍将确保选民在11月拒绝埃尔赛义德博士及其激进的反以色列议程”。
罗杰斯在视频中并未直接提及犹太选民,但呼应了他此前对埃尔赛义德与Twitch主播哈桑·皮克尔同台竞选的批评。皮克尔此前曾发表过美国“活该”遭遇9·11袭击的言论,之后他就此道歉。

“对于密歇根州绝大多数不想支持充满愤怒、分裂、暴力呼吁以及与你们价值观脱节的观点的竞选活动的人来说,你们在我们这里有一席之地,”罗杰斯说道。
民主党人将于周五在底特律继续推进团结活动,活动由现居密歇根州的前交通部长皮特·布塔吉格担任主讲嘉宾。

Mike Rogers, the Republican nominee for Senate in Michigan, is stepping up his efforts to appeal to Democrats after their party picked progressive Abdul El-Sayed as their standard-bearer in the battleground race.
In a new video first shared with CNN, Rogers speaks directly to camera to make his case to Democrats disappointed with the outcome of their Tuesday primary. El-Sayed, a former public health official, defeated Rep. Haley Stevens by 1 percentage point after a contentious primary that left hard feelings among supporters of both candidates.
“If you’re among the majority of Democratic voters who woke up on Wednesday feeling, well, hopeless because the person who won does not represent your values, well, just know, there is still hope,” Rogers says. “Michigan deserves a senator who is ready to sit with you, hear from you and represent you.”

Democratic leaders from Washington to Michigan have quickly rallied behind El-Sayed, though Republicans are hoping to emphasize on lingering divisions from the bruising primary. Stevens has already endorsed El-Sayed, and the two hugged at a unity event Thursday. Both have also criticized Rogers and have emphasized stressed the importance of Democrats retaining the seat in November.
In the video, Rogers sits beside his wife, Kristi, and appeals to a handful of voting blocs in particular, such as young people who want more affordable housing. He tells them they “have a home with” his campaign and promises to work hard to earn their support.
El-Sayed has also made a bipartisan pitch. In his victory speech Wednesday, he invited people to join his campaign “if you supported me or you did not support me, if you voted for Vice President Kamala Harris in 2024 or you voted for Donald Trump.”

At the same time, El-Sayed has not held back against Rogers, calling him beholden to corporate interests and a candidate who has sought to “lick every single boot Donald Trump owns.”
The issue of the US-Israel relationship was one of the main sources of friction in the Democratic primary. The American Israel Public Affairs Committee spent more than $30 million through its super PAC to go after El-Sayed, a sharp critic of Israel. After he won, the group said its members “remain determined to ensure that voters reject Dr. El-Sayed and his radical anti-Israel agenda in November.”
Rogers doesn’t directly reference Jewish voters in the video but echoes criticisms he has already made over El-Sayed campaigning with Twitch streamer Hasan Piker, who previously said America “deserved” the September 11 attacks, a comment for which Piker has since apologized.

“And to the vast majority of people across Michigan who do not want to throw their support behind a campaign filled with anger, divisiveness, calls for violence and views that are out of touch with your values, well, you have a home with us,” Rogers says.
Democrats are set to continue their unification efforts with a rally Friday in Detroit headlined by former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, who lives in Michigan.
