左翼与中左翼建制派之间争夺民主党未来的高风险较量，于周二在密歇根州这一关键摇摆州登上舞台中心。
moderate众议员黑利·史蒂文斯得到参议院少数党领袖、纽约州民主党参议员查克·舒默以及民主党建制派的支持，她与前韦恩县卫生部门主任阿卜杜勒·埃尔-赛义德展开了一场激烈的参议院提名辩论。埃尔-赛义德是极左翼候选人，获得了进步派领袖、佛蒙特州独立参议员伯尼·桑德斯以及纽约州民主党众议员亚历山德里亚·奥卡西奥-科特兹的背书。
双方最尖锐的交锋围绕竞选资金、外部支出以及美国对以色列政策展开，埃尔-赛义德多次指责史蒂文斯从亲以色列和亲企业团体获得的数百万美元外部支出中获益。
“如果你想让政治由美国以色列公共事务委员会（AIPAC）或查克·舒默说了算，那我不是你的人选，”埃尔-赛义德说道，他认为如果民主党继续选举接受企业捐款的领导人，该党就不会发生改变。史蒂文斯则反驳称，埃尔-赛义德正从共和党为助推其初选竞选而采取的行动中获益。“我的对手需要回答的是，为什么共和党要花数千美元来支持他的竞选，声称他会让迈克·罗杰斯成为下一任美国参议员？”史蒂文斯说道。

这场对决距密歇根州初选还有四周，获胜者将在这场至关重要的中期选举中对阵前共和党众议员迈克·罗杰斯——后者几乎锁定共和党提名，以接替即将退休的民主党参议员加里·彼得斯。
这个罕见的开放参议院席位是共和党首要争夺目标，也是民主党希望从目前以微弱53-47优势掌控参议院的共和党手中夺回多数席位时必须守住的阵地。
反建制派的埃尔-赛义德一直尖锐批评以色列，他将美国政治中的AIPAC影响力归咎于此，并在周二晚间指责史蒂文斯等政客“被AIPAC收买”。“只要我们的政客继续被AIPAC收买，那么当我们为他们的利益而发动战争时，就不要感到惊讶，”埃尔-赛义德说道。

与此同时，史蒂文斯试图将埃尔-赛义德针对外部支出的攻击反戈一击，敦促这位进步派候选人公开其纳税申报单，并指责他在资助自己竞选活动和职业的资金来源方面不够透明。
“嗯，你看，透明度也很重要，这就是为什么我已经公开了我的纳税申报单。我的对手阿卜杜勒说透明度是关键，但他却没有公开自己的纳税申报单，”史蒂文斯说道。“阿卜杜勒，你一边谈论要将金钱从政治中移除，一边把钱装进普通人的口袋。但谁在把钱放进你的口袋？你在隐瞒什么？”
史蒂文斯同意埃尔-赛义德关于立即结束美国卷入伊朗事务的立场，同时通过强调自己对两国方案的支持，与对手划出了界限。
“我和我的对手在这个问题上的分歧在于，我相信两国方案，”史蒂文斯说道。“我可以说，以色列有权与巴勒斯坦人民以及加沙人民和平共存。”

移民执法也成为辩论中的一个焦点，埃尔-赛义德表示需要废除移民与海关执法局（ICE），并指责史蒂文斯在周二晚间对该机构的态度比过去更加激进。
史蒂文斯回应称，埃尔-赛义德使用了“共和党策略”，并表示埃尔-赛义德所提及的众议院投票中，所谓史蒂文斯“投票感谢ICE并增加其预算”，是共和党“愤世嫉俗”的举动——他们将对科罗拉多州博尔德市反犹太主义恐怖袭击的谴责，与对联邦移民机构的资助捆绑在了一起。

“众议院曾有一项法案，旨在谴责科罗拉多州博尔德市造成一人死亡、一名大屠杀幸存者受伤的反犹太主义恐怖袭击。共和党人没有将我们团结在一起，反而插入了一条关于感谢ICE的愤世嫉俗条款，”史蒂文斯在回应埃尔-赛义德关于她支持ICE的说法时说道。“我永远会站在反对暴力的一边，我只希望我的对手在我们确实需要团结的时候，不要采用共和党那种愤世嫉俗的手段。”
在育儿政策方面，史蒂文斯提出扩大拨款和带薪家庭假，而埃尔-赛义德则呼吁实现“100%免费育儿”，并通过对亿万富翁财富征税来筹集资金。辩论还就人工智能和数据中心展开了长时间的交锋。埃尔-赛义德呼吁制定更严格的联邦监管框架、工会劳工要求、社区福利协议以及“人工智能的FDA监管体系”，而史蒂文斯则表示，应强制数据中心支付水电费用，以免密歇根州的家庭承担更高成本。

周二晚间的辩论举行两天前，曾是初选第三名主要民主党候选人的进步派州参议员马洛里·麦克莫罗暂停了竞选活动。
麦克莫罗近年来全国知名度不断提升，她以介于埃尔-赛义德和史蒂文斯之间的意识形态立场作为进步派候选人参选，但由于民调支持率低迷、筹款速度落后于两位主要对手，最终宣布退选。
麦克莫罗承诺将全力支持任何赢得初选的民主党人，并最终将与罗杰斯对决。罗杰斯曾在2024年以微弱劣势输给现任参议员埃莉萨·斯洛特金，此次是他连续第二个竞选周期参选参议员。

麦克莫罗退出竞选后，史蒂文斯称赞这位民主党同僚是“为密歇根家庭谋福祉政策的重要声音”。史蒂文斯得到了超级PAC支出数百万美元的支持，其中包括来自亲以色列团体的大笔资金，她认为自己是赢得初选并在11月击败罗杰斯的最强民主党候选人。

埃尔-赛义德称赞麦克莫罗有“勇气”挑战他所说的被操纵的政治体系，并指责民主党党内高层花费数百万美元影响初选。虽然他没有点名具体团体，但他的言论似乎是在针对企业政治行动委员会和舒默等建制派政党领导人。
埃尔-赛义德如果当选，将成为美国首位穆斯林参议员。他是一名流行病学家，曾在2018年以反叛候选人身份竞选州长但失败。他将支持“全民医保”作为竞选的核心内容之一。
这位极左翼候选人还呼吁废除移民与海关执法局（ICE），并在以色列与哈马斯的战争中直言不讳地批评以色列，甚至将以色列在加沙的行动定性为对巴勒斯坦人的“种族灭绝”。作为桑德斯2020年总统竞选的核心 surrogates 之一，埃尔-赛义德已承诺不接受政治行动委员会捐款。

舒默和民主党建制派认为史蒂文斯比埃尔-赛义德更具 electability（当选可能性），后者因过往言论引发争议。他们担心，如果埃尔-赛义德成为民主党候选人，会因将民主党推得过左而危及这个民主党掌控的参议院席位——该州在两年前的总统选举中仅以略高于一个百分点的优势支持了唐纳德·特朗普。
如果埃尔-赛义德在次月的初选中击败史蒂文斯，将给极左翼带来全州范围内的重大胜利，并可能进一步推动他们在争夺民主党未来的斗争中的势头。
周二晚间，史蒂文斯着重强调了自己的国会记录、在奥巴马政府美国汽车救援特别工作组的任职经历、制造业背景以及国会中的两党合作成果，包括旨在阻止中国汽车冲击美国汽车制造商的立法工作。
“我们可以在密歇根州这里制造负担得起的汽车，不让中国汽车进来抢占我们的市场。在我的任期内，绝不会出现这种情况，”史蒂文斯说道。

埃尔-赛义德则以拒绝企业和超级PAC捐款的政治 outsider（局外人）身份自居，同时指出自己获得了美国汽车工人联合会（UAW）的背书，并认为民主党需要更积极地对抗华尔街和多个领域的企业影响力。
“美国汽车工人联合会在这场竞选中支持我是有原因的，”埃尔-赛义德说道，他认为企业“更关注季度利润底线，而非制造业的长期可持续性”。

The high-stakes fight between the left-wing and the center-left establishment for the future of the Democratic Party took center stage Tuesday in battleground Michigan.
That’s where moderate Rep. Haley Stevens, who is backed by Senate Minority Leader Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., and the party establishment, faced off in a fiery Senate nomination debate against former Wayne County Health Department Director Abdul El-Sayed, a far-left candidate endorsed by progressive champions Sen. Bernie Sanders I-Vt., and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y.
The sharpest exchanges centered on campaign money, outside spending and U.S. policy toward Israel, with El-Sayed repeatedly accusing Stevens of benefiting from millions of dollars in outside spending from pro-Israel and corporate-aligned groups.
“If you want your politics dictated by AIPAC or Chuck Schumer, then I’m not your guy,” El-Sayed said, arguing the Democratic Party would not change if it continued to elect leaders who take money from corporations. Stevens countered by accusing El-Sayed of benefiting from Republican efforts to boost him in the primary. “What my opponent needs to answer is, why is the GOP spending thousands of dollars to prop up his campaign, saying that he will make Mike Rogers the next U.S. senator?” Stevens said.

The showdown came four weeks before Michigan’s primary, with the winner taking on former Republican Rep. Mike Rogers, who is on a glide path to the GOP nomination, in the crucial midterm battle to succeed retiring Democratic Sen. Gary Peters.
The rare open Senate seat is a top Republican target and is a must-hold for the Democrats as they aim to win back the Senate majority from the GOP, which currently controls the chamber with a slim 53-47 margin.
The anti-establishment El-Sayed, who has been sharply critical of Israel, blamed AIPAC’s influence in American politics and accused politicians, like Stevens, of being “bought off by AIPAC” on Tuesday night. “So long as our politicians continue to be bought off by AIPAC do not be surprised when we fight wars that are in their best interest,” El-Sayed said.

Stevens, meanwhile, sought to flip El-Sayed’s attacks over outside spending back onto him, pressing the progressive candidate to release his tax returns and accusing him of being less than transparent about who was funding his own campaign and career.
“Well, look, transparency is also important, and this is why I have released my tax returns. My opponent, Abdul, he said that transparency is key, but yet he hasn’t released his tax returns,” Stevens said. “Abdul, you talk about getting money out of politics and putting money in people’s pockets. But who is putting money in yours? What are you hiding?”
Stevens, who agreed with El-Sayed on an immediate end to U.S. involvement in Iran, also drew a contrast between herself and her opponent by emphasizing her support for a two-state solution.
“The difference between my opponent and myself on this issue is that I believe in a two-state solution,” Stevens said. “I can say that Israel has a right to peacefully exist alongside the people of Palestine and in Gaza.”

Immigration enforcement also became a flashpoint during the debate, with El-Sayed saying ICE needed to be abolished and accusing Stevens of shifting her tone to be more aggressive towards the agency Tuesday night than she has in the past.
Stevens responded by accusing El-Sayed of using “Republican tactics,” saying a House vote El-Sayed referenced, claiming Stevens “voted to thank ICE and increase their budget,” was a “cynical” move by the GOP to include condemnation for an antisemitic terrorist attack in Boulder, Colorado, alongside funding for the federal immigration agency.

“There was a bill on the House floor to condemn an antisemitic terrorist attack that in Boulder, Colorado, that killed an individual and injured a Holocaust survivor. Instead of bringing us together, Republicans put in a cynical point about thanking ICE,” Stevens said in response to El-Sayed’s claims she is a supporter of ICE. “I am always going to stand up to violence, and I just wish my opponent wouldn’t pursue the cynical approaches of Republicans when we do need to be united.”
On childcare, Stevens pointed to expanding grants and paid family leave, while El-Sayed called for making childcare “100% free” and paying for it by taxing billionaire wealth. The debate also featured a lengthy exchange on artificial intelligence and data centers. El-Sayed called for stricter federal guardrails, union labor requirements, community benefit agreements and an “FDA for AI’s,” while Stevens said data centers should be forced to pay utility and water bills, so Michigan families are not stuck with higher costs.

Tuesday night’s debate was held two days after progressive state Sen. Mallory McMorrow, once the third major Democrat in the primary, suspended her campaign.
McMorrow, who has seen her national profile expand in recent years and was running as a progressive in an ideological space between El-Sayed and Stevens, suspended her campaign amid faltering poll numbers and fundraising that weren’t keeping pace with her two main rivals.
McMorrow pledged to fully support whichever Democrat wins the primary and will ultimately face-off with Rogers, who is running for the Senate for a second straight cycle after losing in 2024 to now-Sen. Elissa Slotkin by a razor-thin margin.

Following McMorrow’s exit from the race, Stevens praised her fellow Democrat by calling her an “important voice” for policies that benefit Michigan families. Stevens, who has been backed by millions in super PAC spending, including big bucks from Israel-aligned groups, argued that she is the strongest Democratic candidate to win the primary and defeat Rogers in November.

El-Sayed praised McMorrow for having the “courage” to challenge what he described as a rigged political system, accusing Democratic Party insiders of spending millions to influence the primary. While he did not name specific groups, his remarks appeared to reference corporate PACs and establishment party leaders such as Schumer.
El-Sayed, who, if elected, would make history as the nation’s first Muslim senator, is an epidemiologist who unsuccessfully ran for governor as an insurgent candidate in 2018. He has made support for “Medicare-for-all” a major component of his campaign.
The far-left candidate has also called for abolishing Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), and is a vocal critic of Israel amid its war with Hamas — even characterizing Israel’s actions in Gaza as “genocide” against Palestinians. And El-Sayed, who served as a top surrogate on Sanders’ 2020 presidential campaign, has vowed not to accept PAC donations.

Schumer and the party establishment view Stevens as more electable than El-Sayed, who has sparked controversy with his past comments. They worry that El-Sayed as the party’s nominee would jeopardize the Democrat-controlled Senate seat by pushing the party too far to the left in a state that President Donald Trump carried two years ago by just over one percentage point.
A victory by El-Sayed over Stevens in next month’s primary would give the far left a major win on a statewide stage, and likely further boost their momentum in the battle for the Democratic Party’s future.
On Tuesday night, Stevens leaned into her congressional record, tenure in the Obama administration’s U.S. Auto Rescue Task Force, her manufacturing background, and bipartisan efforts in Congress, including work on legislation aimed at blocking Chinese cars from undercutting American automakers.
“We can build affordable cars here in Michigan without having the Chinese come in and eat our lunch. Not on my watch,” Stevens said.

El-Sayed leaned on being a political outsider who refuses corporate and Super PAC donations, while he pointed to his UAW endorsement and argued that Democrats need to be more aggressive in confronting Wall Street and corporate influence across many areas.
“There’s a reason that the UAW has endorsed me in this race,” El-Sayed said, arguing that corporations are “a lot more interested in a quarterly bottom line than they are in the long term sustainability of manufacturing.”
