密歇根选民解释在罗杰斯与埃尔-赛义德之间的艰难选择
选举日前一天下午，罗切斯特街头的三名选民向福克斯新闻数字频道表示，他们之所以支持前密歇根州众议员迈克·罗杰斯，或是支持其民主党参议院竞争对手阿卜杜勒·埃尔-赛义德，有各自的理由。

中期选举前一天，密歇根州的选民向福克斯新闻透露了该州摇摆不定的特性：一名前民主党人坚定支持共和党参议院候选人迈克·罗杰斯，而一名终身共和党选民则“捏着鼻子”投票给民主党人阿卜杜勒·埃尔-赛义德医生。
在为罗杰斯投完票后，选民玛乔丽·梅尼表示，她“多年前”是一名民主党人，如今对自己是其中一员感到“羞愧”，因为埃尔-赛义德这类候选人代表了该党。
不过，她指出，埃尔-赛义德已经赢得了她家乡埃mmet县佩托斯基市的众多选民支持，而2024年总统大选时，唐纳德·特朗普在该县获得了超过55%的选票。
“大多数人是共和党人。然而，到处都是支持阿卜杜勒的竞选标语。所以情况非常混杂。我们从未见过前院草坪上有这么多类似的支持标语，”梅尼在罗切斯特市中心告诉福克斯新闻。

罗杰斯在选举前警告密歇根选民警惕埃尔-赛义德的“极端”议程
当被问及是否知道为何会出现转向埃尔-赛义德的趋势时，她表示自己“毫无头绪”，并将他在自己社区的势头称为“有点令人震惊”。
“这些都是我认识的人，我从未想到他们会有如此支持阿卜杜勒的想法，”她说。“这有点令人担忧。”
梅尼预测，埃尔-赛义德将于周二战胜罗杰斯，但她警告称，密歇根选民会后悔将他送入参议院。

“我是阿卜杜勒·埃尔-赛义德医生。这就是我想为密歇根竞选参议院的原因”
另一名选民汤姆·赖特告诉福克斯新闻，尽管他与埃尔-赛义德在“60%到70%的政策立场上存在分歧”，但他还是投票给了埃尔-赛义德。
“在任何情况下我都无法投票给一名特朗普的亲信，”赖特在提到罗杰斯时说。
特朗普发起首次总统竞选之前，罗杰斯就已经离开国会，他在2001年至2015年期间代表密歇根州第8国会选区，因此在特朗普两届任期内，他都没有针对特朗普立法议程的国会投票记录。
罗杰斯已就一系列特朗普政策明确表态。例如，他在伊朗战争初期给予支持，并支持赋予总统广泛的权力来实施特朗普式的对等关税。

特朗普主导了埃尔-赛义德对罗杰斯的攻击，但这位共和党对手提供了意想不到的政策分歧
然而，随着参议院竞选进入最后阶段，罗杰斯在这两个问题上都与特朗普保持了距离。9月下旬，他发布了一则呼吁尽快结束伊朗战争的广告，10月初又发布了另一则要求结束与加拿大“关税战”的广告。
自称“终身共和党人”的赖特表示，罗杰斯在这些问题上的转变不足以赢得他的支持。
赖特认为，共和党“过于偏向特朗普”，而“迈克·罗杰斯不会制止这种情况”。
“考验标准是，人们是否愿意捏着鼻子为阿卜杜勒投票，因为他们对特朗普的厌恶太过强烈——并非因为他们喜欢阿卜杜勒，或是一名进步派人士，”赖特说。

当被问及对埃尔-赛义德的保留意见时，赖特表示，他不喜欢埃尔-赛义德在以色列和巴勒斯坦问题上的立场。
“我认为他没有充分谴责一些我认为具有分裂性的势力。人以类聚，他结交了一些相当糟糕的势力，”赖特说。“尽管如此，他只是100名参议员中的一员。我不在乎他说自己要做什么。他什么也做不了。如果六年后共和党能恢复理智，我可以投票给反对派。”

第三名密歇根选民杰拉尔德表示，他计划拆分选票，告诉福克斯新闻他会投票给罗杰斯竞选参议院，同时为民主党人格温·本森竞选州长。
杰拉尔德不愿意投票给埃尔-赛义德，因为他听说埃尔-赛义德是“共产主义者”。
与过去中期选举一样，密歇根州可能在决定国会控制权方面发挥关键作用。该州的投票站周二从上午7点开放到晚上8点，只要在投票结束前排队，选民仍然可以投票。

Michigan voters explain tough choices between Rogers, El-Sayed
The afternoon before Election Day, three voters on the streets of Rochester told Fox News Digital why they are backing former Michigan Rep. Mike Rogers or his Democratic Senate opponent, Abdul El-Sayed.

Michigan voters showed the swinginess of their state in conversations with Fox News the day before the midterm elections, with one former Democrat firmly backing GOP Senate candidate Mike Rogers and a lifelong Republican holding his nose to vote for Dr. Abdul El-Sayed, a Democrat.
After casting a ballot for Rogers, voter Marjorie Mehney said she was a Democrat “years ago” and would be “embarrassed to be one today” with candidates like El-Sayed representing the party.
However, she pointed out that El-Sayed has won over many voters in her hometown of Petoskey, located in Emmet County, where President Donald Trump took more than 55% of the vote in 2024.
“The majority are Republican. However, there’s a great deal of signage for Abdul. So it’s very mixed. We’ve never seen anything like the support that’s going on with signs in front yards,” Mehney told Fox News in downtown Rochester.

ROGERS WARNS MICHIGAN VOTERS AGAINST EL-SAYED’S ‘EXTREME’ AGENDA AHEAD OF ELECTION
When asked if she knew why there had been a shift toward El-Sayed, she said she had “no idea” and called the momentum he is experiencing in her community “a bit shocking.”
“They are people I’ve known and never knew that they felt this way that Abdul does,” she said. “It’s a little concerning.”
Mehney predicted that El-Sayed will prevail over Rogers on Tuesday, but warned that Michigan voters will come to regret sending him to the Senate.

I’M DR ABDUL EL-SAYED. THIS IS WHY I WANT MICHIGAN’S VOTE FOR SENATE
Another voter, Tom Wright, told Fox News that he voted for El-Sayed despite disagreeing with him on “60% to 70% of his policy positions.”
“I cannot bring myself to vote for a Trump minion under any circumstances,” Wright said, referring to Rogers.
Rogers left Congress before Trump launched his first presidential campaign, representing Michigan’s 8th District from 2001 to 2015, meaning he has no congressional voting record on Trump’s legislative agenda across either of his two terms.
Rogers has made his position clear on a series of Trump policies. For instance, he backed the Iran war in its early stages and has supported giving presidents broad authority to impose reciprocal tariffs, as Trump did.

TRUMP DOMINATES EL-SAYED’S ATTACKS AGAINST ROGERS, BUT GOP RIVAL OFFERS UNEXPECTED POLICY SPLIT
However, as the Senate campaign entered its final stretch, Rogers has distanced himself with Trump on both issues. In late September, he released an ad calling for a quick end to the Iran war, and in early October, another ad of his demanded an end to the “tariff war” with Canada.
Wright, who described himself as “a lifelong Republican,” said Rogers’ shifts on those issues were not enough to win his support.
Wright argued that the GOP is “too far toward Trump” and that “Mike Rogers won’t stop it.”
“The litmus test is, are people willing to hold their nose and vote for Abdul because they are so appalled by Trump? Not that they like Abdul or are a progressive,” Wright said.

When asked about his reservations about El-Sayed, Wright said he doesn’t like his stance on Israel and Palestinians.
“I don’t think he has sufficiently disavowed elements that I consider divisive. A man is judged by the company he keeps and he keeps some pretty bad company,” Wright said. “Nonetheless, he is one senator out of 100. I don’t care what he says he’s going to do. He can’t do a damn thing. And if some sanity returns to the Republican Party in six years, I can vote for the opposition.”

A third Michigan voter, Gerald, said he was planning to split his ticket, telling Fox News he would vote for Rogers for Senate and Democrat Jocelyn Benson for governor.
Gerald wasn’t comfortable voting for El-Sayed because he heard he is a “communist.”
As in past midterm elections, Michigan could play a pivotal role in determining control of Congress. Polls are open across the state Tuesday from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m., with voters still able to cast a ballot as long as they are in line by the time polls close.
