卡玛拉·哈里斯将于周二与密歇根州联邦参议院候选人阿卜杜勒·埃尔赛义德一同开展竞选活动，两位民主党人将在这个对民主党今年中期选举乃至后续总统初选命运至关重要的州举行联合露面活动。
据知情人士透露，哈里斯与埃尔赛义德计划在底特律地区举行一场聚焦黑人产妇医疗保健的圆桌会议，这也是她担任副总统期间重点关注的议题。她还将出席由奥克兰县民主党及其前美国众议员布伦达·劳伦斯主席举办的密歇根州领导人私人招待会，民主党州长候选人乔斯琳·本森预计将在招待会上发言。
当天晚些时候，哈里斯计划单独会见全国有色人种协进会底特律分会主席温德尔·安东尼牧师、房间教堂的吉内塔·哈彻牧师以及其他宗教领袖，举办一场聚焦选民投票率的活动。
对于这位前副总统而言，这是一份格外紧凑的行程。她的政治计划一直是民主党内部激烈争论的话题。密歇根州是哈里斯在2024年以微弱劣势落败的州，这里不仅是大选的摇摆州，根据民主党全国委员会今年批准的新时间表，该州还将成为民主党总统提名进程中首批六个投票的州之一。
“民众支持她，”安东尼周一告诉CNN。“民众支持这位曾担任副总统的非裔女性，这是美国历史上首次，她重返民主党阵营，与我们探讨投票的重要性。”
安东尼表示，在2028年总统初选中“没有任何人能稳操胜券”，这与其他几位接受CNN采访的密歇根州民众的观点不谋而合。
来自法明顿的民主党选民斯蒂芬妮·斯坦普斯表示，她“有可能”希望哈里斯在2028年竞选总统，但同时指出“目前可能有更合适的候选人”。
“我觉得她在2024年没有得到应有的机会，”斯坦普斯说，她认为时任总统乔·拜登本应更早退出，以便一场充分的提名竞争能够顺利展开。“我认为她本可以胜任这份工作，但在那之后，她似乎低调了不少，至少我很少看到她的身影。”
民主党需要在11月的选举中净增四个参议院席位，才能夺回参议院控制权。而保住密歇根州退休民主党参议员加里·彼得斯的席位是实现这一目标的关键。密歇根州无疑是一个战场州，但与阿拉斯加、德克萨斯州和俄亥俄州等其他存在竞争性参议院选举的州相比，该州通常对民主党更为友好。
哈里斯和埃尔赛义德正致力于团结因埃尔赛义德与众议员黑利·史蒂文斯激烈争夺参议院提名而出现裂痕的民主党。埃尔赛义德曾是韦恩县的一名公共卫生官员。
埃尔赛义德凭借在进步派中的支持赢得了初选。但包括安东尼在内的黑人选民大多支持史蒂文斯。共和党参议院候选人、前众议员迈克·罗杰斯则公开争取黑人选民和犹太选民的支持，此前埃尔赛义德曾尖锐批评以色列，且在3月底特律附近的西布卢姆菲尔德镇犹太教堂遭遇反犹太袭击一事上最初发表的声明引发争议。
曾在初选中支持史蒂文斯的安东尼表示，对埃尔赛义德的背书“仍在推进中”。
“我认为他是个好人，我真的这么认为。我觉得他现在说了一些正确的话，”他说。
两年前，哈里斯与埃尔赛义德在密歇根州的一场关键政治辩论中立场对立。埃尔赛义德是以色列的直言不讳的批评者，最初支持“未承诺”运动，该运动呼吁在密歇根州民主党初选中投票反对拜登，以抗议其处理以色列与哈马斯之间战争的方式。
这位密歇根州民主党人最终在哈里斯与特朗普竞选期间支持了哈里斯作为民主党候选人。但哈里斯仍需应对党内对拜登政府处理加沙冲突的不满情绪，而阿拉伯裔选民和“未承诺”运动支持者的不满也加剧了她在该州的失利。
在被问及2028年竞选计划时，哈里斯公开多次表示她“正在考虑”，且未给出决策时间表。除密歇根州之行外，哈里斯计划在未来几周内与内华达州和佐治亚州的民主党人一同开展竞选活动。
“我认为将不同群体团结起来很重要。民主的意义在于——不是分裂，而是将人们团结在一起，”埃尔赛义德在劳动节接受CNN采访时表示。“我很感激她愿意代表我们与各界人士沟通。”
支持埃尔赛义德参选参议院的斯坦普斯表示，她希望哈里斯能够说服那些因“以为选举会一边倒”而在2024年未投票的选民，在本次选举中出来投票。
“希望这次我们能踊跃投票，因为事实已经证明，如果你不投票，天知道我们最终会迎来什么样的政府，”斯坦普斯说。
Kamala Harris returns to campaign trail to boost Abdul El-Sayed in critical Michigan Senate race
2026-09-22T09:00:29.355Z / CNN
Kamala Harris is set to campaign Tuesday with Michigan Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed, in a joint appearance between two Democrats in a state crucial to the party’s fortunes in this fall’s midterms — and the presidential primary to follow.
Harris and El-Sayed plan to hold a roundtable in the Detroit area focused on Black maternal healthcare, an issue she focused on as vice president. She will also attend a private reception with Michigan leaders hosted by the Oakland County Democratic Party and its chair, former US Rep. Brenda Lawrence, where the Democratic gubernatorial candidate, Jocelyn Benson, is expected to speak, a source familiar with the matter said.
Later in the day, Harris plans to separately meet with Rev. Wendell Anthony, president of the NAACP’s Detroit branch; Rev. Genetta Hatcher of The Room Church; and other faith leaders in an event focused on voter turnout.
It’s a notably robust schedule for the former vice president, whose political plans are a subject of intense debate within the Democratic Party. Michigan, which Harris narrowly lost in 2024, isn’t just a swing state in general elections — it’s also poised to become one of the first six states to vote in the Democratic nominating process under a new calendar approved by the Democratic National Committee this year.
“People like her,” Anthony told CNN on Monday. “People like the fact that this African American woman who was vice president, for the first time in the nation’s history, is coming back to the ‘D’ to talk to us about the importance of voting.”
Anthony said that “nobody has a lock on anything” when it comes to the 2028 primary — echoing the sentiments of several other Michiganders who spoke to CNN.
Stephanie Stamps, a Democratic voter from Farmington, said she “possibly” would want to see Harris run for president in 2028, but noted “there might be better candidates at this point.”
“I don’t feel like she had the best shake” in 2024, said Stamps, arguing then-President Joe Biden should have dropped out earlier to allow for a full nominating contest to play out. “I think she would have done a good job, but I think she’s gone a little bit underground since that point, or at least I haven’t seen a lot of her.”
Democrats need a net gain of four Senate seats to win control of the chamber in November. Crucial to that math is holding onto the seat of retiring Democratic Sen. Gary Peters in Michigan — a battleground state, to be sure, but one that is generally more favorable to Democrats than other states with competitive Senate races this fall including Alaska, Texas and Ohio.
Harris and El-Sayed, a former public health official in Wayne County, are seeking to unify a Democratic Party fractured by his hard-fought primary against Rep. Haley Stevens for the Senate nomination.
El-Sayed won the primary on the strength of his support among progressives. But Black voters, including Anthony, largely backed Stevens. Former Rep. Mike Rogers, the Republican Senate nominee, has openly appealed to Black Democrats as well as Jewish voters amid El-Sayed’s sharp criticism of Israel and an initial statement about an antisemitic attack in March on a synagogue in West Bloomfield Township, near Detroit.
Anthony, who endorsed Stevens in the primary, said an El-Sayed endorsement is “still a work in progress.”
“I think he’s a good man. I really believe that. I think that he’s saying some of the right things,” he said.
Two years ago, Harris and El-Sayed were on opposite sides of a key political debate in Michigan. El-Sayed, a vocal critic of Israel, initially supported the “Uncommitted” movement, a push to vote against Biden in the state’s Democratic primary over his handling of the war between Israel and Hamas.
The Michigan Democrat eventually supported Harris as the nominee as she campaigned against Trump. But Harris still had to navigate the angst within her own party over the administration’s handling of the conflict in Gaza, and frustration from Arab American voters and supporters of the “Uncommitted” movement played into her loss in the state.
Publicly, Harris has repeatedly said when asked about a 2028 run that she is “thinking about it” — and has offered no timeline for a decision. In addition to the Michigan trip, Harris is planning to campaign with Democrats in Nevada and Georgia in the coming weeks.
“I think it’s important that we bring different groups of people together. The thing about democracy is — it’s not about dividing. It’s about bringing people together,” El-Sayed said in an interview with CNN on Labor Day. “I’m grateful for the folks that she’s willing to talk to on our behalf.”
Stamps, who is supporting El-Sayed in the Senate race, said she hopes Harris can convince those voters who didn’t cast ballots in 2024 because they “thought maybe it would be closer to a slam dunk” to turn out in this election.
“Hopefully, we’ll get out and vote this time, since it’s kind of proven that if you don’t, who knows what we’re going to end up with,” Stamps said.
