密歇根州民主党参议院候选人阿卜杜勒·埃尔-赛义德在NBC《与媒体见面》节目周日的一次采访中谈到他是否会考虑参加美国总统竞选。
Michigan Democratic Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed remarked on whether he would consider running for president of the United States, during an interview on NBC's "Meet the Press" Sunday.
主持人克里斯滕·韦尔克在采访结束时询问埃尔-赛义德，他是否认为美国已经“准备好”选举一名穆斯林候选人担任总统。
Host Kristen Welker closed her interview asking El-Sayed whether he believed America was "ready" to elect a Muslim candidate for president.
“这个问题不是我在问的，”埃尔-赛义德回答。“我认为密歇根州已经准备好选出一名穆斯林参议员。”密歇根州民主党希望者阿卜杜勒·埃尔-赛义德在最近的采访中抨击CNN对他进行“非自愿的结肠镜检查”韦尔克重复了这个问题，但埃尔-赛义德继续表示这个问题是“无关紧要的”，并且密歇根州已经准备好选出一名穆斯林参议员。“好吧，但你不排除这种可能性——？”韦尔克问。
"That's not a question I'm asking," El-Sayed answered. "I think Michigan is ready for a Muslim senator." MICHIGAN DEM HOPEFUL ABDUL EL-SAYED JABS CNN GIVING HIM 'NON-CONSENSUAL COLONOSCOPY' IN RECENT INTERVIEWS Welker repeated the question, but El-Sayed continued to say the question was "irrelevant" and that Michigan was ready for a Muslim senator. "Okay, but you don't rule out the possibility that—?" Welker asked. "I have no intention of ever running for president.
“我从未有过参加总统竞选的意愿。这从来不是我想做的事情，”埃尔-赛义德说。
That is not a thing I've ever wanted to do," El-Sayed said. EL-SAYED TAUNTS TRUMP, CLAIMS HE'S GOING TO MAKE HIM 'MAIN CHARACTER OF THE MIDTERMS' He continued, "I want to be a really great senator for my state.
埃尔-赛义德嘲讽特朗普，声称他将让特朗普成为中期选举的“主角”他继续说：“我想成为我州真正出色的参议员。你知道，总有一天，某个地方，某个人会决定参选，看到美国到底有多大，那将是一件非常了不起的事情。但目前，我真的很想成为密歇根州的下一位参议员。这就是我想长期做的事情。我期待着接下来六年的服务。我很荣幸能够做到这一点。而且，看啊，美国是一个幅员辽阔的国家，美国有这种令人惊叹的方式，不断提醒我们她到底有多大。而这一切，始于密歇根州。”
You know, someday, somewhere, somebody down the line decides to run, that would have been a really amazing thing to see how big America really is. But for right now, I really want to be the next senator from Michigan. That's what I’d like to be for a long time to come.
在采访过程中，韦尔克还就一次总统竞选提出了另一个问题，并引用了纽约州民主党众议员亚历山德拉·奥卡西奥-科尔特斯的一次言论，她说：“如果阿卜杜勒能在密歇根州获胜，那么任何人都能在任何地方获胜。”哈里斯与关键摇摆州的激进参议院候选人联手，2028年总统选举的传言正在流传“如果你在密歇根州失利，那是否意味着像AOC这样的进步人士无法在2028年赢得白宫？”韦尔克说。
I'm looking forward to serving out the next six years. I'm honored to get to do this. And look, America is a big place, and America has this incredible way of reminding us how big she really is. And that starts in Michigan." During the interview, Welker also asked another question about a presidential run while referencing a reported comment made by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., where she remarked, "If Abdul can win in Michigan, anybody can win anywhere." HARRIS JOINS FORCES WITH RADICAL SENATE NOMINEE IN KEY SWING STATE AS 2028 WHISPERS SWIRL "If you lose Michigan, does that mean that a progressive like AOC can't win the White House in 2028?"
看，这是密歇根州的一个席位，它与我们在密歇根州的地方议题关系远大于与全国性公投的关系，"埃尔-赛德说。
Welker said. "Look, this is one seat in Michigan that has a lot more to do with our local issues in Michigan than it has to do with a national referendum," El-Sayed said.
福克斯新闻数字平台已联系NBC和埃尔-赛德的竞选团队以获取评论。
Fox News Digital reached out to NBC and El-Sayed's campaign for comment.
埃尔-赛德的采访发生在他周四与共和党参议员候选人迈克·罗杰斯的辩论之后，当时罗杰斯提到了埃尔-赛德与穆斯林兄弟会恐怖组织之间所谓的关联。
El-Sayed's interview came after his Thursday debate with GOP Senate candidate Mike Rogers in which Rogers brought up alleged ties between El-Sayed and the Muslim Brotherhood terrorist organization.
埃尔-赛德一再否认这些关联。当韦尔克尔询问时，他也驳回了这一前提。"不，"他说，随后声称该指控源于伊斯兰恐惧症。"这确实令人羞耻，但他没有主意，他实际上并不关心解决问题，"埃尔-赛德谈到罗杰斯时说。
El-Sayed has repeatedly denied these ties. He also rejected the premise when asked by Welker. "No," he said, before claiming the allegation was based in Islamophobia. "It's truly shameful, but he has no ideas, he doesn't actually care about solving problems," El-Sayed said of Rogers.
在对福克斯新闻数字的评论中，媒体研究中心主席大卫·博泽尔批评了他认为韦尔克尔急于将埃尔-赛德视为总统候选人的倾向。"NBC一看到阿卜杜勒·埃尔-赛德就开始规划他的总统图书馆。别提哈桑·派克了。别提密歇根了。《面对全国》跳过了审查程序，直接开始测量埃尔-赛德的椭圆形办公室窗帘，"博泽尔说。
In a comment to Fox News Digital, Media Research Center President David Bozell criticized what he considered Welker's eagerness to consider El-Sayed a presidential candidate. "NBC took one look at Abdul El-Sayed and started planning the presidential library. Never mind Hasan Piker. Never mind Michigan. Meet the Press skipped the vetting and went straight to measuring El-Sayed’s Oval Office drapes," Bozell said.
