据密歇根州民主党联邦参议院候选人阿卜杜勒·埃尔赛义德的竞选团队消息,前副总统卡玛拉·哈里斯即将赴密歇根州,与埃尔赛义德共同出席一场圆桌会议。
二人将于下周二出席一场黑人孕产妇健康圆桌会议,这引发了外界质疑:哈里斯是否正试图争取党内进步派阵营,为2028年总统竞选做准备。
“我非常期待她的到来,底特律等社区的许多人都将她视为鼓舞人心的领袖,”埃尔赛义德周三在接受《政客》采访时表示。
民主党内战或将上演密歇根对决,进步派在高风险参议院较量中面临迄今最大考验

“我很感激她能前来,共同讨论如何提高选民投票率,这样我们就能着手解决美国参议院面临的诸多问题,”他补充道。
此次圆桌会议安排在哈里斯上月背书埃尔赛义德之后,当时哈里斯称赞了他在民生负担等议题上的立场。
“阿卜杜勒·埃尔赛义德医生深知权力属于人民,本次选举的利害关系再高不过。当密歇根民众苦苦挣扎,负担不起住房、汽油、食品杂货、医疗保健和托儿等日常必需品时,特朗普和国会共和党人却在为富人和权贵提供1万亿美元的税收减免,”哈里斯写道。
“阿卜杜勒明白,我们需要大胆举措解决美国工薪家庭面临的危机,他已准备好投身这场战斗,”哈里斯继续说道,“我自豪地与他站在一起,确保我们能在11月赢得参议院民主党多数席位。”
哈里斯即将访密歇根的消息传出之际,密歇根州知名报纸《底特律新闻》于周三背书了埃尔赛义德的共和党对手迈克·罗杰斯参选参议员。
“迈克·罗杰斯是美国参议员的典范,”该报在背书声明中写道,提及他在众议院任职14年、军旅生涯以及在私营部门处理网络安全的经验。
另一方面,该报抨击埃尔赛义德的激进言论,称他“在本次参议院竞选期间拼命掩盖过往痕迹,以至于根本无法了解他的真实面目,也无法确定他在参议院中将持何种立场”。
“他删除了据称质疑其在9·11恐怖袭击后对美国态度的社交媒体帖子,还下架了约100段对他及其文化观点持负面评价的YouTube视频,”该报总结道,“一位需要向选民隐瞒过往经历的候选人,无法让人相信他在当选后仍会与竞选期间保持一致。”
除哈里斯的到访外,埃尔赛义德在11月选举前的竞选冲刺阶段日程也十分繁忙,他将在加利福尼亚州和纽约州出席多场筹款活动。
9月下旬,埃尔赛义德计划出席在电影制片人杰弗里·索罗斯家中举办的好莱坞筹款活动,杰弗里·索罗斯是乔治·索罗斯的侄子。除索罗斯夫妇外,主办委员会成员包括多名奥巴马政府前官员,其中包括“歪媒”旗下《拯救美国播客》主持人汤米·维托尔和乔恩·法夫罗。奥巴马伊朗核协议的失败推手本·罗兹也在主办委员会名单中。
此次西海岸之行期间,埃尔赛义德还将到访旧金山。

下月,埃尔赛义德还将前往纽约市出席由多名极左翼活动人士主办的筹款活动,参会票价从250美元至57800美元不等。
哈里斯在2026年中期选举中背书埃尔赛义德,仅是她第二次为主要进步派候选人背书。她还支持缅因州民主党参议员候选人特洛伊·杰克逊,后者获得了美国民主社会主义者(DSA)的背书。
中期选举前,哈里斯还曾支持纽约市市长佐赫兰·曼达尼,后者同样获得了DSA的背书,但当时哈里斯仅表示“支持本次选举中的民主党候选人”。
就埃尔赛义德本人而言,他拒绝接受“进步派”和“温和派”这类标签,且未获得DSA的背书。
但与曼达尼一样,埃尔赛义德将民生负担问题以及政府的角色作为竞选纲领的核心。除呼吁降低住房成本外,他还倡导“全民医保”,反对企业税收减免,并支持高等教育免学费政策。
哈里斯过去也曾获得埃尔赛义德的支持。
值得注意的是,在前总统乔·拜登退出2024年大选后,埃尔赛义德呼吁民主党团结在哈里斯身后,称赞她“具备领导潜力”。
“考虑到共和党候选人带来的种种风险……现在是我们所有人团结在卡玛拉·哈里斯身后击败特朗普的时候了,”埃尔赛义德在2024年7月的一篇帖子中写道。
“从未投过共和党”的民主党人背书罗杰斯而非埃尔赛义德,选情胶着

埃尔赛义德的竞选团队未回应福克斯新闻数字频道的置评请求,未透露埃尔赛义德是否会在哈里斯决定竞选2028年白宫职位时予以支持。

Harris joins forces with radical Senate nominee in key swing state as 2028 whispers swirl

The former vice president endorsed El-Sayed last month, praising his stance on affordability ahead of the midterms

Former Vice President Kamala Harris is set to join Michigan Democratic Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed at an upcoming roundtable in Michigan, according to his campaign.
The two will appear at a Black maternal health roundtable next Tuesday, raising questions about whether Harris might be trying to court the progressive wing of the party in preparation for a 2028 presidential run.
“I’m just really looking forward to having her here, and she is somebody who so many folks in communities like Detroit look up to as an inspirational leader,” El-Sayed told Politico in an interview on Wednesday.

“I’m grateful that she’s coming in and having conversations about what it takes to get the turnout up, so that we can get on to working on some of these issues in the U.S. Senate,” he continued.
The scheduled roundtable comes after Harris endorsed El-Sayed last month, praising his stance on issues like affordability.
“Dr. Abdul El-Sayed understands the power is with the people, and that the stakes couldn’t be higher in this election. While Michiganders struggle to afford everyday essentials — housing, gas, groceries, health care and child care — Trump and Republicans in Congress are giving away $1 trillion in tax breaks to the wealthy and powerful,” Harris wrote.
“Abdul knows that we need bold solutions to the crises facing America’s working families and he is ready to take on this fight,” Harris continued. “I proudly stand with him to ensure we win a Democratic Senate majority in Nov.”
The news of Harris’ upcoming visit to Michigan comes as The Detroit News, a prominent Michigan newspaper, endorsed El-Sayed’s Republican rival, Mike Rogers, for Senate on Wednesday.
“Mike Rogers is the prototype of a United States Senator,” the paper said in its endorsement, referencing his 14 years in the House, Army career, and private sector experience dealing with cybersecurity.
On the other hand, the paper skewered El-Sayed for his radical rhetoric, saying he “has worked so hard covering his tracks leading up to this Senate race that it’s impossible to know who he really is or where he would stand in the Senate.”
“He has deleted social media posts that reportedly called into question his attitude about America in the aftermath of the 9/11 terrorist attacks. He’s taken down roughly 100 YouTube videos that paint an unflattering picture of him and his cultural views,” the paper concluded. “A candidate who feels the need to hide his past from voters is not someone who can be trusted to be the same person after Election Day as he was on the campaign trail.”
In addition to Harris’ visit, El-Sayed is expected to have a busy final stretch of his campaign before the November election as he attends multiple fundraisers in California and New York.
In late September, El-Sayed is scheduled to attend a Hollywood fundraiser at the home of George Soros’ nephew, Jeffrey Soros, who is a movie producer. In addition to Soros and his wife, the host committee includes several Obama alums, including Crooked Media’s “Pod Save America” hosts Tommy Vietor and Jon Favreau. Ben Rhodes, the failed architect of Obama’s Iran deal, is also on the host committee.
El-Sayed will also be visiting San Francisco during this West Coast swing.

Next month, El-Sayed will also be going to New York City to attend a fundraiser hosted by several far-left activists, where the price to attend ranges from $250 to $57,800.
Harris’ endorsement of El-Sayed marks just her second major progressive candidate endorsement in the 2026 midterms. She is also supporting Troy Jackson, the Democratic nominee in Maine who is backed by the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA).
Before the midterms, Harris also supported New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, who was also DSA-endorsed, but only stated that she “supported the Democrat in the race.”
For his own part, El-Sayed has rejected terms like “progressive” and “moderate” and is not backed by the DSA.
But like Mamdani, El-Sayed has made affordability — and the role of government — key pieces of his campaign. In addition to calling for lowering housing costs, he’s advocated for Medicare for All, opposes corporate tax carve-outs, and he supports tuition-free access to higher education.
Harris has also received support from El-Sayed in the past.
Notably, after now-former President Joe Biden dropped out of the 2024 election, El-Sayed called on the party to rally behind Harris, citing her “potential” for leadership.
“Considering all the dangers of the Republican nominee … it’s time for all of us to unite behind Kamala Harris to defeat Trump,” El-Sayed wrote in a post in July 2024.

El-Sayed’s campaign did not respond to requests for comment from Fox News Digital on whether El-Sayed might support Harris if she decided to run for the White House in 2028.
