前密歇根州卫生官员阿卜杜勒·埃尔赛义德目前预计将赢得该州民主党参议院初选，他周三表示：“经过这样一场势均力敌的初选，我们还有很多疗伤的工作要做。”
“但我此前也曾表示，这是一场宏大的开放运动。我们欢迎所有理解我们需要建立一个民有、民治、民享的政府的人，”埃尔赛义德在《哥伦比亚广播公司早间新闻》节目中说道。
现年41岁的埃尔赛义德在这个五大湖州的民主党参议员提名关键角逐中，与众议员黑利·史蒂文斯展开了激烈的初选对决。埃尔赛义德的竞选团队已于周三早些时候宣布胜利。
埃尔赛义德表示，他和史蒂文斯目前还没有机会通话，并补充道：“我们必须让民主党团结起来，我知道她和我都致力于做到这一点。”
“我们只剩下13周时间来击败一个根本不配担任美国参议员的人，因此我期待着这次对话，”埃尔赛义德说。“我感谢我们这场势均力敌的竞选，团结我们的因素以及将我们凝聚在一起的东西，远比任何分裂我们的事物都要重要得多。”
本次初选的获胜者将在11月与前众议员迈克·罗杰斯对决。罗杰斯在本次初选中无对手参选，此前他在2024年密歇根州另一个参议院席位的竞选中以微弱劣势输给了参议员伊丽莎白·斯洛特金。密歇根州传统上是民主党州，自1994年以来从未选举过共和党人参议员，但该州曾两次投票支持特朗普总统。这个席位是本届选举周期民主党需要捍卫的少数几个关键席位之一，对决定哪个政党控制参议院至关重要。
埃尔赛义德表示，他的竞选从一开始就旨在“建立一场运动——摆脱政治中的金钱影响，将财富交到民众手中，通过《全民医保法案》”。
“迈克·罗杰斯是一个想要在政治中投入更多资金的人，”埃尔赛义德声称。“因此我认为，将我们凝聚在一起的事物要重要得多。而我们对抗迈克·罗杰斯以及他所代表的特朗普主义所需的聚焦点，正是能够将我们团结起来的东西。”
尽管以左翼纲领参选的埃尔赛义德获得了参议院初选中众多进步派知名人士的支持，但他的对手得到了许多全国民主党人的背书，这些人认为这位更温和的候选人更具当选胜算。当被问及他对那些没有支持他的全国民主党人的信息时，埃尔赛义德说：“我们现在有机会铭记我们面临的对手是谁”，他提及了特朗普政府。
“无论我们在哪些方面存在分歧，这些分歧都远比我们的共识要渺小，”他补充道。“因此我期待着携手并肩，击败迈克·罗杰斯，击败特朗普主义，让他在未来几年里承担责任，并选举一位相信民主价值、愿意肩负起为民众提供医疗保健、支持优质学校和国家发展机遇等事业的总统。”
埃尔赛义德补充道：“我希望今天我们能够团结起来。”
El-Sayed calls for unity after tight Michigan Senate race: “There’s a lot of healing to do after a hard-fought primary like this”

Former Michigan health official Abdul El-Sayed, who is now projected to win the state’s Democratic Senate primary, said Wednesday that “there’s a lot of healing to do after a hard-fought primary like this.”
“But I have said that this is a big open movement. We welcome anybody and everybody who understands that we need a government of the people, by the people, and for the people,” El-Sayed said on “CBS Mornings.”
El-Sayed, 41, has been locked in a heated primary against Rep. Haley Stevens in the Great Lakes State for the Democratic nomination in a key Senate contest. El-Sayed’s campaign declared victory earlier Wednesday morning.
El-Sayed said he and Stevens had not had a chance to speak yet, adding, “We’ve got to bring the party together, and I know both she and I are committed to doing that.”
“We’ve only got 13 weeks to beat a guy who has no business being in the U.S. Senate, and so I’m looking forward to that conversation,” El-Sayed said. “I’m grateful for the hard-fought race that we had, and the things that united us, and the things that unify us are so much bigger than any of the things that divided us.”
The winner of the primary will face off against former Rep. Mike Rogers in November, who ran unopposed in the primary after narrowly losing to Sen. Elissa Slotkin in the 2024 race for Michigan’s other Senate seat. Michigan, traditionally a Democratic state which hasn’t elected a Republican to the Senate since 1994, has voted for President Trump twice. The seat is among a handful that Democrats are defending this cycle, which are crucial to determining the party that controls the chamber.
El-Sayed said his campaign set out from its start to “build a movement — to get money out of politics, put money in your pocket, pass Medicare for All.”
“Mike Rogers is a guy who wants to put more money in politics,” El-Sayed claimed. “So I think the things that bring us together are so much bigger. And the focus that we need to have to take on Mike Rogers and the Trumpism that he’s chosen to represent are the things that are going to bring us together.”
While El-Sayed, who ran on a leftist platform, secured the backing of prominent progressives in the Senate primary, his opponent was backed by many national Democrats, who pitched the more moderate candidate as more electable. Asked about his message to national Democrats who didn’t support him, El-Sayed said, “We have an opportunity right now to remember what it is that we’re up against,” citing the Trump administration.
“Whatever we may differ on, it is so much smaller than what we agree on,” he added. “So I’m looking forward to locking arms to defeat Mike Rogers and to beat Trumpism, to hold him accountable for the next several years, and to elect a president who believes in the value of democracy and wants to take on the responsibility of providing people healthcare and standing up for things like good schools and opportunity in our country.”
El-Sayed added, “I hope that today we can come together.”
