华盛顿讯 —— 密歇根州联邦参议院民主党候选人阿卜杜勒·埃尔赛义德于周二推出新健康政策纲领，意在争取罗伯特·F·肯尼迪 Jr.的“让美国更健康 Again”（MAHA）支持者。
“我认为我们有机会提醒民众，我们一直都是希望民众更健康的一方，而非那些向食品、农业和制药公司妥协的人，这些公司往往站在公众利益的对立面，”埃尔赛义德告诉哥伦比亚广播公司新闻。
这份被命名为“建设更健康美国政策议程”的纲领将矛头对准食品中的农药，支持立法赋予民众就农药产品造成的伤害起诉制造商的权利。该纲领要求追究污染者责任，承诺将行业说客赶出监管机构。它还旨在将铅和微塑料等物质从水中清除，部分措施包括强化联邦饮用水监管规定。此外，该纲领还提议投资学校餐食项目和流动杂货店。
作为前密歇根州卫生官员，埃尔赛义德在竞选活动中一直积极关注医疗保健议题，经常在谈及“全民医保”的同时，推动剔除政治中的金钱因素，并更广泛地聚焦经济负担问题。如今，他将重点放在了帮助特朗普总统在2024年选举中组建执政联盟的议题上，他将在一场备受关注的参议院选举中挑战前共和党众议员迈克·罗杰斯，这场选举可能是决定哪个政党控制参议院的关键。
埃尔赛义德表示，对于上次选举中大多支持特朗普和共和党的MAHA选民来说，“很多人觉得民主党没有足够重视他们对医疗保健的担忧”。但他认为，自那以后，选民在这份纲领核心议题上“彻底被辜负、被欺骗了”。
自肯尼迪 endorsed 特朗普并动员其MAHA支持者以来，本届政府因强调议程中的部分内容而获得赞誉，比如逐步淘汰人工食品色素并鼓励全食饮食。但在农药问题上，总统签署行政命令赋予联邦政府广泛权力以增加草甘膦（农达的关键成分）供应，政府因此受到批评。
这份议程还与肯尼迪长期以来的疫苗怀疑论有关联，而今年美国记录了三十多年来最多的麻疹病例，该立场也遭到了抨击。
当被问及疫苗相关的立场分歧时，埃尔赛义德表示，他相信自己能够争取到MAHA选民，尽管双方在这一问题上存在不同观点。
“在疫苗问题上，我始终遵循证据导向，”埃尔赛义德说。“但关键在于，你希望知道喂给孩子的食物和注入体内的东西是纯净的。而罗伯特·肯尼迪 Jr.、唐纳德·特朗普和迈克·罗杰斯在这方面彻底失败了。”
埃尔赛义德表示，他“期待倾听和学习”，并补充道，“即便我们在疫苗政策上存在分歧，我认为我们都认同大型制药公司确实是个问题。”
“我认为他们被特朗普政府彻底辜负了，该政府向那些站在他们所有问题对立面的公司妥协——无论是制药行业、大型农业企业，还是食品制造商，”埃尔赛义德说。“我认为他们彻底被辜负、被欺骗了。”
当被问及如果当选参议员，是否会与肯尼迪合作推进健康提案时，埃尔赛义德表示这取决于情况。
“他是否愿意对抗制药公司？是否愿意将污染物从我们的食品环境中清除？是否愿意对抗大型农业和食品企业？是否愿意向超加工食品宣战？这就是我关注的重点，”他说。“如果他愿意做其中任何一件事，我们可以谈谈。但就目前而言，他所做的是掏空保护我们的政府部门，然后向他曾表示绝不会支持的所有公司卑躬屈膝。因此，在他承诺要致力解决的问题上，我认为他是一个彻底的失败者。”

Democrat Abdul El-Sayed courts RFK Jr.’s MAHA voters with new health policy platform
September 29, 2026 / 6:00 AM EDT / CBS News
Washington — Michigan Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed is making a play for Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s “Make America Healthy Again” supporters with the release Tuesday of a new health policy platform.
“I think we have an opportunity to remind folks that we’ve always been the people who want people to be healthier, rather than the folks who capitulate to the food, ag and pharmaceutical corporations that are too often on the wrong side of things,” El-Sayed told CBS News.
The platform, dubbed the Building A Healthier America Policy Agenda, takes aim at pesticides in food, backing legislation that would give people the right to sue pesticide manufacturers over harm caused by the products. It seeks accountability for polluters, with a pledge to get industry lobbyists out of regulatory agencies. And it aims to get substances such as lead and microplastics out of water, in part by strengthening federal drinking water rules. It also proposes investments in school meal programs and grocery stores on wheels.
El-Sayed, a former Michigan health official, has been vocal about healthcare issues along the campaign trail, speaking frequently about Medicare For All alongside a push to get money out of politics and a focus on affordability issues more broadly. Now, he’s zeroing in on issues that helped build President Trump’s coalition in the 2024 election, as he takes on former Republican Rep. Mike Rogers in a closely watched Senate race that could be key to determining which party controls the upper chamber.
El-Sayed said for MAHA voters who largely supported Mr. Trump and the GOP in the last election, “a lot of them felt like Democrats weren’t paying enough attention to their fears about healthcare.” But he argued that since then, voters have been “completely let down and lied to” on the issues at the root of the agenda.
Since Kennedy endorsed Mr. Trump and galvanized his MAHA supporters, the administration has received praise for its emphasis on elements of the agenda, like phasing out artificial food dyes and encouraging whole-food diets. But it’s also faced criticism on issues like pesticides, after the president signed an executive order to give the federal government broad authority to boost the supply of glyphosate, a key ingredient in Roundup.
The agenda has also been associated with Kennedy’s longtime vaccine skepticism, which has been under fire as the U.S. this year has recorded the most measles cases in more than three decades.
Asked about the vaccine dynamic, El-Sayed said he believes he can win over MAHA voters despite differing views on the issue.
“I will always be evidence-driven when it comes to vaccines,” El-Sayed said. “But the key thing is that you want to know that what you’re feeding your kids and what you’re putting in the body is pure. And RFK Jr. and Donald Trump and Mike Rogers have failed that test in droves.”
El-Sayed said he’s “looking forward to listening and learning,” adding that “where there might be disagreements on vaccine policy, I think we all agree that big pharma is a real problem.”
“I think they’ve been completely let down by a Trump administration that has capitulated to the very corporations that are on the wrong side of all their issues — whether it’s the pharma industry, or it’s big ag, or it’s the food manufacturers,” El-Sayed said. “I think they’ve been completely let down and lied to.”
Asked whether he would work with Kennedy to try to implement health proposals, should he be elected to the Senate, El-Sayed said it depends.
“Does he want to stand up to pharmaceutical corporations? Do you want to get pollutants out of our food environment? Does he want to stand up to big ag and big food? Does he want to take on ultra processed food? You know, that’s what I’m focused on,” he said. “If he wants to do any of those things, let’s talk about it. But right now, what he’s done is DOGE-ed out the parts of government that protect us, and then bent over to all of the corporations he said he’d never support. So I see him as a profound failure for what he said he was trying to work on.”
