代表进步派立场的阿卜杜尔·埃尔-赛义德在密歇根州民主党参议院初选中以48.5%对47.5%的微弱优势击败现任众议院代表哈雷·史蒂文斯[1]。史蒂文斯于周三上午致电埃尔-赛义德认输[2]。这场初选反映了民主党内围绕以色列政策的深刻分歧，埃尔-赛义德主张停止对以色列军事援助，而史蒂文斯则获得美国以色列公共事务委员会（AIPAC）及其附属机构超过3000万美元的支持[2]。埃尔-赛义德还主张推行全民医保和改革竞选资金制度[2]。
埃尔-赛义德获得包括伯尼·桑德斯在内的进步派人士支持，而史蒂文斯得到了党建制派和参议院少数党领导人查克·舒默的支持[1][2]。支持史蒂文斯的团体总计花费超过5000万美元用于竞选活动[2]。埃尔-赛义德表示"民主党必须团结起来，确保我们永远不让迈克·罗杰斯进入美国参议院"，而史蒂文斯承诺将"为他提供全力支持以击败迈克·罗杰斯"[1]。埃尔-赛义德将在11月的中期选举中对阵共和党现任参议员迈克·罗杰斯[1]。
Abdul El-Sayed secured victory in Michigan's contentious Democratic Senate primary, narrowly defeating incumbent U.S. Representative Haley Stevens [1]. El-Sayed received 48.5% of the vote compared to Stevens' 47.5% [1], with Stevens calling El-Sayed to concede on Wednesday morning [2]. The race reflected sharp divisions within the Democratic Party over healthcare policy, campaign finance reform, and U.S. support for Israel [2].
El-Sayed, representing the party's progressive wing, backed positions including universal healthcare and an end to military aid to Israel, and received support from Senator Bernie Sanders [2]. By contrast, Stevens, a four-term congresswoman focused on manufacturing and economic issues, secured backing from Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and substantial external funding exceeding $50 million, with pro-Israel advocacy group AIPAC and affiliated organizations contributing more than $30 million [2].
Following his victory, El-Sayed stated that "Democrats must unite to ensure we never let Mike Rogers get into the United States Senate" [1]. Stevens pledged to "provide full support to beat Mike Rogers" [1]. El-Sayed will face Republican incumbent Senator Mike Rogers in November's midterm election [1].
