当被追问到埃尔-赛义德本人时,她表示:“好吧,这么说吧,如果你问我是否仍然属于这个团队,我确实属于这个团队。”
但这并不能让进步派满意,他们立即指责史蒂文斯在破坏民主党同僚。
“太荒谬了。对于那些仍在假装埃尔-赛义德的竞选与[罗伊·库珀]或[玛丽·佩尔托拉]的竞选相同的人,他们难道是让前民主党对手拒绝在全国电视上全力支持他们的原因吗?‘不论党派,皆为蓝营’是虚伪的中间派谎言,而这种虚伪可能会在2028年损害民主党,”迈赫迪·哈桑在X平台上写道,这里指的是北卡罗来纳州和阿拉斯加州的民主党联邦参议院竞选。
领导进步派活动组织“ indivisible”的莉亚·格林伯格写道:“现在是10月下旬,人们每天都在投票,如果你不能全力支持那位可能成为翻转参议院关键选票的民主党提名人,那你就别再上电视了。”

前国会候选人凯尔·布洛姆奎斯特指责史蒂文斯“几乎对迈克·罗杰斯谄媚”,并称“她唯一真正的意识形态承诺是支持犹太复国主义”。
进步派评论员艾玛·维格兰德在X平台上写道:“支持种族灭绝存在金融和制度层面的动机。史蒂文斯在中期选举前一周的全国电视上破坏埃尔-赛义德,是为了保护自己的钱包和事业,而非为了民主。”
更多倾向温和派和建制派的民主党人对部分批评做出了反驳。
策略师利斯·史密斯回应哈桑称:“人们——民主党人、共和党人、无党派人士——都希望支持佩尔托拉和库珀之流,这其实是对他们候选人素质的认可!有人们愿意与之关联的候选人是件好事,这应当成为评估候选人素质的一个因素!”

今年早些时候,在民主党同僚马洛里·麦克莫罗退出竞选后,埃尔-赛义德在密歇根州初选中以仅1%的微弱优势击败史蒂文斯。
埃尔-赛义德获得了48.5%的选票,而史蒂文斯的得票率为47.5%,麦克莫罗获得4%。
值得注意的是,史蒂文斯是建制派支持的人选,获得了参议院民主党领袖、纽约州民主党参议员查克·舒默等高层民主党人的支持。埃尔-赛义德则获得了“ Squad ”进步党团成员的支持,比如密歇根州民主党众议员拉希达·特莱布和亚历山德里亚·奥卡西奥-科尔特斯。

Haley Stevens ripped by fellow Dems for refusing to explicitly back El-Sayed: ‘Stay the f— off television’
The former Michigan Senate primary candidate said she’s ‘on the team’ but stopped short of naming El-Sayed directly

Abdul El-Sayed’s former Democratic rival is getting hammered by fellow left-wingers online for failing to explicitly endorse him during a weekend television appearance.
Rep. Haley Stevens, D-Mich., who unsuccessfully ran for the Democratic nomination for Senate in Michigan, told CNN’s “State of the Union” that she broadly supports her state party’s ticket for the coming midterm elections.
“Look, I’m on the Democratic ticket. I can’t say that I agree with everything that’s gone on,” Stevens answered. “I’m looking to be on the team to support my next governor, Jocelyn Benson, and frankly, these great Democrats who are working their tails off, who are going to make Hakeem Jeffries the first Black Speaker of the House.”

When pressed about El-Sayed specifically, she said, “Well, look, I would just say, if you had asked me if I’m still on the team, I’m on the team.”
But that was not enough for progressives, who promptly accused Stevens of undermining her fellow Democrat.
“Ridiculous. For all the folks still pretending El-Sayed’s race is the same as [Roy Cooper’s] or [Mary Peltola’s], do they have former Dem rivals refusing to fully endorse them on national TV? ‘Blue no matter who’ was a hypocritical centrist lie and this hypocrisy may hurt Dems in 2028,” Mehdi Hasan wrote on X, referring to Democrat Senate races in North Carolina and Alaska.
Leah Greenberg, who leads the progressive activist group Indivisible, wrote, “It is late October and people are voting every day, if you cannot give a full-throated endorsement to the Democratic nominee who could be the key vote in flipping the Senate, then stay the f— off television.”

Former congressional candidate Kyle Blomquist accused Stevens of “practically fawning over Mike Rogers” and said “her only real ideological commitment is to zionism.”
Progressive commentator Emma Vigeland wrote on X, “There are financial and institutional incentives to remain on the side of genocide. Stevens is sabotaging El-Sayed on national TV, one week before the midterm, to protect her pocketbook and career over democracy.”
More moderate and establishment-friendly Democrats pushed back on some of the criticism.
Strategist Lis Smith responded to Hasan, “People—Democrats, Republicans, Independents—clamoring to support the Peltolas and Coopers is actually a validation of their candidate quality! It’s good to have candidates people want to associate with and that should be a factor when assessing candidate quality!”

El-Sayed edged Stevens out by just 1% in the Michigan primary earlier this year, after fellow Democrat Mallory McMorrow dropped out of the race.
El-Sayed won 48.5% of the vote compared to Stevens’ 47.5%, with McMorrow netting 4%.
Stevens was notably the establishment-backed pick with support from top Democrats like Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y. El-Sayed is backed by “Squad” Democrats like Reps. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
