外界观察人士好奇,民主党众议员黑利·史蒂文斯出人意料地背书共和党人迈克·罗杰斯,是否会让阿卜杜勒·埃尔-萨义德在竞争激烈的密歇根州参议院席位竞选中失利。
前众议员贾斯汀·阿马什于周一宣布,在密歇根州联邦参议院选举中,他既没有投票给阿卜杜勒·埃尔-萨义德,也没有投票给前众议员迈克·罗杰斯。他表示,自己认为埃尔-萨义德“在实践中会比萨义德远不那么危险”。
共和党候选人罗杰斯得到唐纳德·特朗普总统的背书,他将在这场备受关注的参议院竞选中与民主党候选人埃尔-萨义德对决。
阿马什在X平台的一条帖子中写道:“不言而喻,我与迈克·罗杰斯和阿卜杜勒·埃尔-萨义德在诸多问题上存在重大分歧,而他们两人也都不太喜欢我。此外,我不会投票给‘两害相权取其轻’的候选人。我认为,只有当你真心希望某人担任该职位时,才应该支持他。我已经完成投票,而且根据上述原则,我没有投票给罗杰斯或埃尔-萨义德。但我确实知道,两人中谁在联邦参议院会更危险——而且差距非常明显。”
2026年选举日:选民投票之际,国会控制权存变数

阿马什指出,民主党参议院伯尼·桑德斯(来自佛蒙特州)是与埃尔-萨义德相似的政治人物,桑德斯曾在此次参议院竞选中为埃尔-萨义德站台。
他写道:“要评估谁对美国自由构成更大威胁,我们可以看看我在国会与罗杰斯以及桑德斯共事的经历。桑德斯与埃尔-萨义德的许多观点相似,可以作为他的替身。在我看来,桑德斯的几项核心提案对我们国家极为不利。但鉴于我国的政府架构,他根本无力将这些想法付诸实施并强制执行。
“相反,罗杰斯是一个在国会众议员可能起决定性作用的所有问题上都极为糟糕的人。这些问题包括战争权、监视、隐私、言论自由、刑事司法以及政府监督与问责制,”他断言,“在现实世界中——而非左右派党派专家所生活的虚幻世界里——罗杰斯对个人自由和宪法构成的威胁远大于桑德斯。而且,问题不只是罗杰斯在这些问题上很糟糕;事实上,在这些问题上,桑德斯比萨义德的中位国会众议员还要好得多。”
密歇根州选民作出跨党派选择,罗杰斯与埃尔-萨义德的竞选进入最后关头

阿马什声称,在罗杰斯和埃尔-萨义德之间,民主党候选人会“更不危险”。
他写道:“我认为,公平来说,埃尔-萨义德在政策上大体会追随桑德斯的脚步,因此在实践中会比萨义德远不那么危险。”并补充道,“(再次强调,埃尔-萨义德作为参议员会做出许多糟糕的事情。这里所探讨的核心问题不是他是否优秀,而仅仅是他整体上是否比萨义德更好。)”
罗杰斯和埃尔-萨义德的竞选团队周二均未立即回应福克斯新闻数字频道的置评请求。

阿马什于2011年初至2021年初担任联邦众议员,他在2019年末投票弹劾唐纳德·特朗普总统。在其国会任期的大部分时间里,他以共和党身份任职,但在2019年改为无党派人士,随后于2020年加入自由意志党。
他在2024年密歇根州联邦参议院共和党初选中输给了罗杰斯。
罗杰斯在当年的大选中输给了民主党人埃莉莎·斯洛克姆,斯洛克姆当时是众议院议员。
民主党籍密歇根州众议员黑利·史蒂文斯今年在民主党参议院初选中输给了埃尔-萨义德,她在周日背书罗杰斯,这一消息打破了2026年大选的平静。

Ex-Rep Justin Amash says Mike Rogers ‘would be more dangerous in the US Senate’ than Abdul El-Sayed
The former House lawmaker noted he did not vote for El-Sayed or Rogers in the Michigan US Senate election

Observers wonder whether Democrat Rep. Haley Stevens’ surprise endorsement of Republican Mike Rogers will cost Abdul-El-Sayed the Senate seat in the hotly-contested Michigan race.
Former Rep. Justin Amash — who announced on Monday that he did not vote for Abdul El-Sayed or former Rep. Mike Rogers in Michigan’s U.S. Senate race — said he thinks El-Sayed would “be far less dangerous in practice than Rogers.”
Rogers, a Republican candidate endorsed by President Donald Trump, is facing Democratic candidate El-Sayed in the widely-watched Senate contest.
“It goes without saying that I have major disagreements with both Mike Rogers and Abdul El-Sayed, and neither one particularly likes me,” Amash wrote in a thread on X. “I also don’t vote for ‘the lesser of two evils.’ I believe you should support a candidate only if you truly want the person to hold that office. I’ve already voted, and consistent with the above principle, I didn’t vote for Rogers or El-Sayed. But I do know which one would be more dangerous in the U.S. Senate — and it’s not even close.”
ELECTION DAY 2026: VOTERS CAST BALLOTS WITH CONTROL OF CONGRESS ON THE LINE

Amash pointed to Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., as a political figure who resembles El-Sayed. Sanders has supported El-Sayed in the Senate race.
“To assess who is the greater threat to American freedom, let’s take a look at my time in Congress with Rogers and Bernie Sanders, who shares many of El-Sayed’s views and can serve as his stand-in,” Amash wrote. “Several of Sanders’s key proposals, in my opinion, would be exceptionally bad for our country. But given the structure of our government, he’s in no position to get those ideas enacted and enforced.
“In contrast, Rogers is extraordinarily bad on all the issues on which an individual member of Congress may be the deciding vote. Again, these are issues like war powers, surveillance, privacy, the freedom of speech, criminal justice, and government oversight and accountability,” he asserted. “In this world — the real world, not the imaginary one that partisan pundits on the right and left live in — Rogers poses a far greater threat to individual liberty and the Constitution than Sanders. Moreover, it’s not just that Rogers is awful here; it’s that Sanders is actually much better on these issues than the median member of Congress.”
MICHIGAN VOTERS MAKE SURPRISING CROSS-PARTY CHOICES AS ROGERS, EL-SAYED RACE REACHES FINAL HOURS

Amash asserted that between Rogers and El-Sayed, the Democratic candidate would be “less dangerous.”
“I think it’s fair to view El-Sayed as someone who mostly will follow in Sanders’s footsteps on policy and therefore will be far less dangerous in practice than Rogers,” Amash wrote, adding in parentheses, “(Again, El-Sayed as a senator will do many things that are bad. The question addressed at length is not whether he’s good but simply whether he’s better on the whole than Rogers.)”
The Rogers and the El-Sayed campaigns did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s requests for comment on Tuesday.

Amash, who served in the U.S. House of Representatives from early 2011 until early 2021, voted to impeach President Donald Trump in late 2019. While he served most of his congressional tenure as a Republican, Amash switched to Independent in 2019 and then to Libertarian in 2020.
He lost the 2024 GOP Michigan U.S. Senate primary to Rogers.
Rogers went on to lose the general election that year to Democrat Elissa Slotkin, who was a House lawmaker at the time.
Rep. Haley Stevens, D-Mich., who lost the Democratic Senate primary to El-Sayed this year, shook up the 2026 general election when she endorsed Rogers on Sunday.
