马姆达尼表示，埃尔赛德获胜对纽约市至关重要 纽约市市长佐赫兰·马姆达尼（民主党）周二表示支持密歇根州民主党参议员候选人阿卜杜勒·埃尔赛德，并称他在竞争激烈的参议院选举中获胜，将向全国传递出对新政治未来持开放态度的信号。
Mamdani says El-Sayed win is of ‘critical importance’ to New York City New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani (D) on Tuesday expressed his support for Michigan Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed and said his victory in the competitive Senate race would signal openness to a new political future in the country.
在一次新闻发布会上，一名记者询问市长是否会支持埃尔赛德以及其他参加中期选举的民主党人。
During a press conference, the mayor was asked by a reporter about whether he would back El-Sayed and other Democrats running in the midterm elections.
“我认为，他的胜利以及全国各地民主党人的胜利对我们的城市至关重要，因为这也表明，人们愿意在华盛顿开辟一条以劳动人民为核心的新航向，”马姆达尼说。
“I think that his victory and the victory of Democrats across this country is of critical importance to our city because what it also indicates is a willingness to chart a new course in Washington that has working people at the heart of it,” Mamdani said.
市长指出，他政府的目标与埃尔赛德的竞选目标之间存在相似之处，具体提到这位民主党候选人反对超级政治行动委员会在政治中的支出，并倡导“全民医保”以及降低生活成本等议题。
The mayor identified parallels between his administration’s goals and El-Sayed’s campaign objectives, specifically citing the Democratic nominee’s pushback on super PAC spending in politics and advocacy for issues like “Medicare for all” and bringing down the cost of living.
“这些是密歇根州民众深有感触的问题，也是纽约市民深有感触的问题，”马姆达尼继续说道。
“Those are concerns that ring true for Michiganders. They’re also concerns that ring true for New Yorkers,” Mamdani continued.
这位去年赢得市长选举的民主社会主义者补充说，他的重点仍然放在该市的五个行政区上。
The democratic socialist, who won the mayoral race last year, added that his focus remained on the city’s five boroughs.
埃尔赛德一直反对将他描述为民主社会主义者的说法，而是将自己标榜为一位专注于解决可负担性问题的进步民粹主义候选人。
El-Sayed has pushed back on attempts to characterize him as a democratic socialist, instead labeling himself as a progressive populist candidate focused on addressing affordability concerns.
这位密歇根州民主党人正在与前众议员迈克·罗杰斯（密歇根州共和党）展开激烈竞争，以接替即将退休的参议员加里·彼得斯（密歇根州民主党）。
The Michigan Democrat is running in a tight race against former Rep. Mike Rogers (R-Mich.) to replace retiring Sen. Gary Peters (D-Mich.).
非党派选举预测机构《库克政治报告》将这场竞争评为“势均力敌”。福克斯新闻和马里斯特大学上个月的民调显示，埃尔赛德在共和党对手面前微弱领先。本月早些时候的一场激烈辩论中，两名候选人互相抛出人身攻击。
The Cook Political Report, a nonpartisan election forecaster, rates this contest as a “toss up.”Polls from Fox News and Marist University last month found El-Sayed with a narrow lead over his GOP opponent. During a fiery debate earlier this month, the two candidates lobbed personal attacks at one another.
埃尔赛德在与美国针对伊朗的军事行动相关的能源成本上升之际，质问这位共和党人对特朗普总统的忠诚度。罗杰斯声称，他的穆斯林对手与穆斯林兄弟会有联系，并似乎暗示埃尔赛德可能有恐怖分子亲属——这些说法遭到这位民主党人的有力反驳。两位对手将于周三再次交锋，由WXYZ电视台主办一场辩论。
El-Sayed pressed the Republican over his loyalty to President Trump amid rising energy costs tied to the U.S.’s military operations against Iran. Rogers alleged that his opponent, who is Muslim, had ties to the Muslim Brotherhood and appeared to suggest El-Sayed could have terrorist family relatives — claims the Democrat forcefully disputed. The opponents will face off again on Wednesday in a debate hosted by WXYZ-TV.
