周二举行的密歇根州民主党参议员初选仍未揭晓结果,进步派候选人阿卜杜勒·埃尔赛义德以微弱优势领先温和派候选人黑利·史蒂文斯,目前选票仍在统计中。哥伦比亚广播公司新闻在周三凌晨将这场竞选描述为倾向于埃尔赛义德。
这场在进步派前卫生官员与温和派国会女议员史蒂文斯之间的竞选,日益成为美国民主党全国委员会内部意识形态派系之间激烈的代理人之战。
初选获胜者将在11月与共和党众议员迈克·罗杰斯展开角逐。民主党参议员加里·彼得斯宣布退休后,该席位空出,这场竞选将成为决定明年哪个政党控制美国参议院的关键战役。
全州超过95%的选票已完成统计,埃尔赛义德在大急流城所在的肯特县以及安娜堡和密歇根大学所在地沃什特瑙县以两位数优势领先。他在卡拉马祖县以及州首府兰辛大部分区域所在的英厄姆县也处于领先地位。
而史蒂文斯在该州人口最多的韦恩县占据优势,该县涵盖底特律市及其众多郊区。她在邻近的郊区奥克兰县、马科姆县以及弗林特所在地杰纳西县同样领先。
两位候选人都在周三凌晨向支持者发表了讲话,他们都表达了乐观情绪,同时警告称,短期内不会知道最终获胜者。
埃尔赛义德为自己在全州范围内的领先地位感到高兴,并表示“我们有望大幅超出预期的历史投票人数”。

史蒂文斯表示“我们仍在等待选举结果”,但“我感觉很好”,并提到底特律仍有大量未统计的选票。
州参议员马洛里·麦克莫罗上月暂停竞选后,民主党初选最终变为两人对决——让连任四届的联邦众议员史蒂文斯与前韦恩县卫生主任、医生埃尔赛义德展开较量。
曾在2018年竞选民主党州长候选人提名的埃尔赛义德,获得了佛蒙特州独立参议员伯尼·桑德斯和纽约州民主党众议员亚历山德里亚·奥卡西奥-科特兹等全国进步派人士的支持。史蒂文斯则由参议院少数党领袖查克·舒默招募参选,并获得密歇根州州长格蕾琴·惠特默的背书。
这场竞选愈发充满争议。埃尔赛义德批评涌入该州支持史蒂文斯的外部资金,其中包括与美国以色列公共事务委员会相关的团体提供的资助,而史蒂文斯则将埃尔赛义迪称为“名人候选人”。
美以关系一直是近乎恒定的争论主题:埃尔赛义德强烈批评美国对以色列的援助,而史蒂文斯则支持两国同盟关系。两位候选人都聚焦生活成本问题,但提出了截然不同的施政愿景。
史蒂文斯周一在接受哥伦比亚广播公司新闻高级白宫及政治记者埃德·奥基夫采访时表示:“我是密歇根州的实干家。这就是我想要扮演的角色。我的对手已经在为总统竞选搭建网站了。”
埃尔赛义德告诉奥基夫,他认为密歇根选民——过去三次总统选举中有两次支持特朗普——“厌倦了被两党企业集团收买的政坛建制派”。
Abdul El-Sayed and Haley Stevens in tight contest as Michigan counts Democratic Senate primary votes
August 5, 2026 / 5:24 AM EDT / CBS News
Tuesday’s Michigan Democratic Senate primary race remains unsettled, with progressive Abdul El-Sayed holding onto a narrow lead over moderate Haley Stevens with votes still being counted. CBS News was describing the race overnight Wednesday as leaning toward El-Sayed.
The race between the progressive former health official and Stevens, a moderate congresswomen, has served as an increasingly bitter proxy fight between the national Democratic Party’s ideological factions.
The winner of the primary will face off against Republican Rep. Mike Rogers in November. The race — which was left open by Democratic Sen. Gary Peters’ decision to retire — could prove pivotal in determining which party controls the U.S. Senate next year.
With more than 95% of the statewide vote counted, El-Sayed led by double-digit margins in Kent County, home to Grand Rapids, and Washtenaw County, home to Ann Arbor and the University of Michigan. He also had leads in Kalamazoo County and Ingham County, where most of the state capital of Lansing is located.
Stevens, meanwhile, has an edge in the state’s most populous county, Wayne County, which is home to Detroit and many of its suburbs. She also leads in neighboring suburban Oakland County and Macomb County, as well as Genesee County, home to Flint.
Both candidates addressed supporters early Wednesday morning, expressing optimism while cautioning that they didn’t expect to know the winner for a while.
El-Sayed celebrated his statewide lead and said “we are on track to vastly outvote the historical numbers that we should have expected.”

Stevens said “we are still waiting on results” but “I am feeling good,” pointing to large numbers of uncounted votes in Detroit.
The Democratic primary turned into a two-candidate contest after state Sen. Mallory McMorrow suspended her campaign last month — leaving the four-term House member Stevens to face off against the physician and El-Sayed, the former Wayne County health director.
El-Sayed — who ran for the Democratic gubernatorial nomination in 2018 — has the backing of national progressives like independent Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont and Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York. Stevens was recruited into the Senate race by Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and was endorsed by Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer.
The race has grown contentious. El-Sayed has criticized the wave of outside funding that has flowed into the state to support Stevens, including from groups linked to the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, while Stevens has cast El-Sayed as a “celebrity candidate.”
The U.S.-Israel relationship has been a near-constant theme, with El-Sayed strongly criticizing U.S. aid to Israel, while Stevens backs the two countries’ alliance. The two candidates have also focused on cost-of-living issues, but have offered differing visions.
Stevens told CBS News senior White House and political correspondent Ed O’Keefe in an interview Monday: “I’m Michigan’s workhorse. That’s what I want to be. My opponent, he’s already got his website for president.”
El-Sayed told O’Keefe he believes Michigan voters — who backed President Trump in two out of the last three presidential races — are “sick and tired of the establishment bought off by corporations on both sides of the political aisle.”
