底特律——民主党进步派阵营周二旨在拿下迄今最大胜利，希望在日益激烈的意识形态斗争中给中左翼建制派一记重磅打击。
但这场在摇摆州密歇根州举行的民主党联邦参议员初选原本有望成为其期待中的胜利，如今却不得不延后。
原因在于，左翼候选人、韦恩县前卫生部门主管阿卜杜勒·埃尔赛义德与温和派候选人、众议员黑利·史蒂文斯之间的竞争，在周三凌晨仍难分伯仲。
** 可能扭转国会权力平衡的中期参议院选举

尽管全美东西海岸五个州都举行了初选，最大的席位仍未决出，但建制派拿下了几场胜利，其中包括密苏里州众议员韦斯利·贝尔击败了民主党社会主义者组织(DSA)支持的挑战者、前众议员科里·布什——两人是2024年对决的重演，而布什曾是“国会进步党团”成员。
与此同时，唐纳德·特朗普总统对共和党强大的影响力再次得到印证，两名获得特朗普背书的候选人赢得了密歇根州和堪萨斯州的州长提名。
以下是全美繁忙初选夜的核心要点。
高风险对决结果仍未揭晓
“我们还得再等一会儿才能看到这场选举的结果，”埃尔赛义德周三清晨在底特律的初选之夜活动上对支持者表示。
埃尔赛义德曾担任韦恩县卫生部门主管，得到了左翼高层的支持，包括进步派领袖、佛蒙特州参议员伯尼·桑德斯和众议员亚历山德里亚·奥卡西奥-科特兹。在计票仍在进行之际，他与得到建制派领袖支持的史蒂文斯的差距微乎其微，后者的支持者包括参议院民主党长期领袖、纽约州参议员查克·舒默。
“我知道这是一个漫长的夜晚，因为这就是密歇根的风格。但我想给大家一个最新进展。我们早就知道这场选举会势均力敌，而我们现在看到的正是如此：一场胶着的选举，”史蒂文斯说道。
迈克·罗杰斯称阿卜杜勒·埃尔赛义德是‘疯狂的秘制酱料’

接替即将退休的民主党参议员加里·彼得斯的角逐是民主党必须守住的席位，全美约有十余个参议院席位的竞争将决定共和党能否保住其微弱的参议院多数党地位，而这场选举正是其中之一。
得益于今年春季在全美大多蓝领国会选区的一系列胜利，民主党内部的意识形态斗争转移到了五大湖摇摆州，这场激烈且耗资巨大的交锋成为迄今为止党内对决的最大舞台。
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年以激进候选人身份竞选州长但失败。他将支持“全民医保”作为竞选的核心主张。
这位极左翼候选人还呼吁废除移民海关执法局(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描述为对巴勒斯坦人的“种族灭绝”。
舒默和民主党建制派认为，史蒂文斯在2018年选举中翻转了共和党掌控的国会选区，相比因过往言论引发争议的埃尔赛义德更具当选胜算。
这场初选对决耗资超过8000万美元，使其成为美国历史上耗资最高的民主党联邦参议员提名竞选。大部分资金由支持史蒂文斯、反对埃尔赛义德的外部团体投入。最大的支出方是联合民主项目，这是一个与美国以色列公共事务委员会(AIPAC)结盟的政治行动委员会。
“我们都知道我们会花他们的钱。但我们没想到他们会砸出7000万美元，没想到他们的支出是我们的11倍。但我们依然屹立不倒，”埃尔赛义德在演讲中强调。
埃尔赛义德呼吁党内团结，并将矛头对准共和党联邦参议员候选人前众议员迈克·罗杰斯。
史蒂文斯在初选之夜的演讲中也表达了同样观点。

“无论谁胜出，都将迎战迈克·罗杰斯。共和党会不择手段地泼脏水、搞抹黑，把所有招数都用上，因为他们想让美国参议院继续由共和党掌控，这样迈克·罗杰斯就能一路放行唐纳德·特朗普的荒谬议程，”她说道。
左翼与建制派的斗争也在密歇根州第7国会选区上演，这是一个关键的共和党控制的摇摆席位，全美约有24个类似席位的竞争将影响共和党能否保住其脆弱的众议院多数党地位。
倡导采取政治行动应对气候变化的“日出运动”联合创始人威廉·劳伦斯以微弱优势击败了另外两名温和派民主党人。劳伦斯得到了桑德斯、埃尔赛义德以及一些顶级进步派团体的支持。劳伦斯将在大选中对阵共和党现任众议员汤姆·巴雷特。
民主党内战也在密歇根州深蓝的第13国会选区上演，美联社尚未公布该选区的获胜者。
得到众议院民主党高层支持的众议员什里·塔纳德面临州众议员多诺万·麦金尼的挑战，麦金尼得到了桑德斯、埃尔赛义德以及“国会进步党团”成员明尼苏达州众议员伊尔汗·奥马尔、马萨诸塞州众议员阿雅娜·普雷斯利和宾夕法尼亚州众议员萨默·李的支持。
温和派迎来值得庆祝的胜利
民主党意识形态斗争的焦点同样在密苏里州，该州以圣路易斯为中心的 heavily Democratic 1st国会选区。
在此选区，得到众议院民主党领袖哈基姆·杰弗里斯和其他建制派领袖支持的贝尔击败了布什——布什曾是两任众议员，贝尔在2024年初选中将其赶下台。

贝尔再次获得了大量外部资金支持，使其支出规模远超布什及其盟友。大部分针对布什的资金和攻击广告都来自联合民主项目——这个与亲以色列倡导团体美国以色列公共事务委员会(AIPAC)结盟的超级政治行动委员会，该团体通常以其首字母缩写AIPAC为人熟知。布什是最早指责以色列在对哈马斯的加沙战争中对巴勒斯坦人实施种族灭绝的众议院民主党人之一。
“两年前，圣路易斯选民投票支持了更好、更负责任的代表。我们兑现了承诺，无论是为我们的社区带回联邦资源，在工薪阶层需要支持者时站在他们一边，还是帮助家庭简化繁文缛节，”贝尔在胜选后说道。“这项工作不会在今晚结束。”
但布什严厉批评贝尔，指责他不参加候选人论坛，并声称他受亿万富翁控制。
“让我恼火的是，未来两年，这个社区将由一个连一场有观众提问的候选人论坛都不愿出席的人代表，尽管我每场都参加了，”布什强调道。

回到密歇根州，两名绝非左翼人士的候选人赢得了全州竞选的民主党提名。密歇根州国务卿乔斯林·本森赢得了民主党州长初选，以接替任期将满的州长格雷琴·惠特默；总检察长达娜·内塞尔成功获得连任提名。
“目前尚不清楚民主党是否已经大幅左倾，”第三 Way 组织的核心领导人之一马特·贝内特告诉福克斯新闻数字频道。第三 Way 是一家领先的中左翼民主党组织。
贝内特指出，全美各地的民主党人对特朗普的敌意日益强烈，他表示密歇根州参议院初选的结果可能是“候选人因素起作用的特殊情况”。
“在这个时刻，各地的民主党选民都对特朗普极为愤怒，他们掀翻桌子，将怒火发泄在建制派身上，而不管好坏，黑利都以建制派的身份参选了。”
特朗普展现政治影响力
特朗普对共和党巨大的影响力以及他在共和党初选中的背书实力在周二再次受到考验，这位总统轻松通过了考验。
获得特朗普背书的密歇根州众议员约翰·詹姆斯——西点军校毕业生、两次共和党参议院候选人——击败了百万富翁商人佩里·约翰逊（前州长和总统候选人），赢得了该州共和党州长提名。

DETROIT — The Democratic Party’s progressive wing was aiming to notch its biggest victory yet Tuesday, hoping to deliver a high-profile blow to the center-left establishment in an intensifying ideological battle.
But the anticipated triumph, in battleground Michigan’s Democratic Senate primary, will have to wait.
That’s because the race between left-wing candidate Abdul El-Sayed, a former Wayne County Health Department director, and Rep. Haley Stevens, a more moderate contender, was too close to call in the early Wednesday hours.
THE MIDTERM SENATE RACES THAT COULD FLIP THE BALANCE OF POWER IN CONGRESS

While the biggest prize was yet to be awarded as five states from coast to coast held primary elections, the establishment scored some victories, including Rep. Wesley Bell of Missouri defeating Democratic Socialists of America (DSA)-backed challenger former Rep. Cori Bush, a one-time Squad member, in a rematch of their 2024 showdown.
Meanwhile, President Donald Trump’s powerful sway over the Republican Party was reaffirmed as two Trump-backed candidates won gubernatorial nominations in Michigan and Kansas.
Here are the top takeaways from a busy primary night across the country.
Verdict still out in high-stakes showdown
“We’re going to have to wait a little longer to see the outcome of this race,” El-Sayed told supporters at a primary night event in Detroit early Wednesday morning.
El-Sayed, a former Wayne County Health Department director backed by top leaders of the left, including progressive champions Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, held on to a razor-thin lead over Haley, who is supported by establishment leaders including longtime Senate Democratic leader Sen. Chuck Schumer of New York, as votes continued to be counted.
“I know it’s been a long night because that’s the Michigan way. But I want to give you all an update. I. We knew that this was going to be a close race, and that’s exactly what we’ve got. A close race,” Stevens said.
MIKE ROGERS ARGUES ABDUL EL-SAYED IS ‘A SPECIAL SAUCE OF CRAZY’

The race to succeed retiring Democratic Sen. Gary Peters, who is backing Stevens, is a must-hold for the Democrats and one of roughly a dozen Senate races from coast to coast that will determine if Republicans hold onto their slim Senate majority.
Boosted by a string of victories this spring in mostly blue congressional districts across the country, the Democrats’ ideological war moved to the Great Lakes battleground state, where the combustible and expensive clash became the biggest stage to date in the intra-party showdown.
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.
Schumer and the party establishment view Stevens, who flipped a GOP-held district in her 2018 election to Congress, as more electable than El-Sayed, who has sparked controversy with his past comments.
Over $80 million was spent on the primary showdown, making it the most expensive Democratic Senate nomination race in history. Much of the money was shelled out by outside groups in support of Stevens and against El-Sayed. The biggest spending came from United Democracy Project, a political action committee aligned with the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC).
“We all knew that we’re going to spend their money. We didn’t know they were going to spend $70 million of their money. We didn’t know that they were going to outspend us $11 to $1. And yet we’re still standing,” El-Sayed highlighted in his speech.
El-Sayed urged party unity and took aim at former Rep. Mike Rogers, the GOP Senate nominee.
So did Stevens in her primary night speech.

“Whoever wins is going to go and take on Mike Rogers. Republicans are going to do everything they can to throw all the dirt, all the mud, the kitchen sink at us because they want to keep the U.S. Senate red so Mike Rogers can keep rubber stamping Donald Trump’s ridiculous agenda,” she argued.
The left-wing versus establishment battle also played out in Michigan’s 7th Congressional District, a key Republican-controlled swing seat race that’s among roughly two-dozen that will impact whether the GOP holds onto its fragile House majority.
William Lawrence, a co-founder of the Sunrise Movement, which advocates for political action to tackle climate change, edged out two more moderate Democrats. Lawrence is backed by Sanders and El-Sayed, as well as some top progressive groups. Lawrence will now face GOP Rep. Tom Barrett in the general election.
And the party’s civil war was also on display in Michigan’s deep blue 13th Congressional District, where the Associated Press had yet to project a winner.
Rep. Shri Thanedar, who is supported by top House Democratic leaders, is being challenged by state Rep. Donovan McKinney, who is backed by Sanders, El-Sayed, and “Squad” members Reps. Ilhan Omar of Minnesota, Ayanna Pressley of Massachusetts, and Summer Lee of Pennsylvania.
Wins for centrists to cheer
The party’s ideological warfare was front-and-center in Missouri, in the state’s St. Louis-based and heavily Democratic 1st Congressional District.
That’s where Bell, who was backed by House Democratic Leader Rep. Hakeem Jeffries and other establishment leaders, defeated Bush, a former two-term representative who Bell ousted in the 2024 primary.

Bell was once again boosted by a major infusion of outside money, allowing him to massively outspend Bush and her allies. Much of the funding and attack ads targeting Bush came from United Democracy Project — the super PAC aligned with the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, the pro-Israel advocacy group best known by its acronym, AIPAC. Bush was one of the first House Democrats to accuse Israel of genocide against Palestinians in its war against Hamas in Gaza.
“Two years ago, St. Louis voted for better and more accountable representation. We have kept that promise, whether it’s bringing federal resources home to our neighborhoods, standing with working folks when they needed someone in their corner, or helping families cut through red tape,” Bell said following his victory. “That work does not stop tonight.”
But Bush lambasted Bell, calling him out for not showing up to candidate forums and claiming he is controlled by billionaires.
“It pisses me off that for the next two years, this community will be represented by someone that didn’t deem you valuable enough to show up to one candidate forum where there were audience comments, even though I showed up to every one,” Bush emphasized.
MEET THE FAR LEFT INSURGENTS WAGING WAR ON THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY IN THE 2026 MIDTERMS

Back in Michigan, two candidates who are far from left-wingers captured Democratic nominations in statewide contests. Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson won the Democratic gubernatorial primary in the race to succeed term-limited Gov. Gretchen Whitmer and Attorney General Dana Nessel was renominated.
“It’s not all that clear that the party has shifted that far to the left,” Matt Bennett, one of the leaders at the Third Way, a leading center-left Democratic organization, told Fox News Digital.
Pointing to the increasing visceral opposition to Trump by Democrats across the country, Bennett said the Senate primary results in Michigan may be “a unique situation where candidates matter.”
“And in this moment Democratic voters everywhere are very very angry at Trump and they’re flipping over the tables and taking it out on the establishment and Haley, for better or worse, has run as the establishment.”
Trump flexes political muscle
Trump’s immense clout over the GOP and the power of his endorsements in Republican primaries was tested once again on Tuesday, and the president easily passed the test.
Trump-backed Rep. John James of Michigan, a West Point graduate and two-time GOP Senate nominee, topped multi-millionaire businessman Perry Johnson, a former gubernatorial and presidential candidate, to capture the party’s gubernatorial nomination.

In Kansas, Trump-endorsed state Senate President Ty Masterson prevailed in a crowded field of Republican gubernatorial contenders.
Democratic Gov. Laura Kelly is term-limited, which makes the race to succeed her a top flip opportunity for the GOP.
