在一次采访中，可以听到他说：“我们对世界负有敞开大门的责任。”他认为，移民执法应当在法治范围内运作，并为移民提供公平的程序。共和党候选人迈克·罗杰斯批评了埃尔萨耶德的移民政策，指责他支持开放边境。
In an interview he can be heard saying, “we owe it to the world to open our doors”. He has argued that immigration enforcement should operate within the rule of law and provide a fair process for migrants. Republican nominee Mike Rogers has criticized El-Sayed’s immigration policies, accusing him of supporting open borders.
他将埃尔赛义德关于开放美国边境的言论与2024年鲁比·加西亚（Ruby Garcia）遇害案联系起来，并形容其政策“过于极端”。

关于对伊朗战争与人工智能技术埃尔赛义德呼吁结束对伊朗的战争，称其“非法、不可理喻、错误”，并主张美国应当通过外交手段而非军事干预来解决问题。在2026年10月与共和党参议员候选人迈克·罗杰斯（Mike Rogers）的辩论中，埃尔赛义德辩称这场战争导致了汽油价格上涨和经济不确定性。他批评了特朗普政府卷入该冲突的决定，并质疑这场战争是否让美国人变得更加安全。
On Iran war and AI technologyEl-Sayed has called for an end to the war with Iran, calling it “illegal, unjustifiable, wrong” and argued that the US should pursue diplomacy instead of military intervention.

He criticized the Trump administration’s decision to enter the conflict and questioned whether the war had made Americans safer.
此外，埃尔赛义德主张人工智能的发展应当服务于公众利益，而不是让科技公司和富有投资者受益。
Moreover, El-Sayed has advocated that the development of artificial intelligence should serve the public interest rather than benefiting technology companies and wealthy investors.
为实现这一目标，他在2026年6月推出了一项名为“民主之下的AI”（AI Under Democracy）的计划，该计划让广大公众来管理科技公司，建立独立的独立安全小组对其进行监督，并禁止人工智能对公民进行监视。他的竞选活动将人工智能和数据中心的迅速扩张与人们对电费、环境影响以及对工人潜在影响的担忧联系在了一起。
To make this happen, he introduced a plan called “AI Under Democracy” in June 2026, which puts the general public in charge of tech companies, creates independent safety groups to watch over them and bans AI from spying on citizens. His campaign has linked the rapid expansion of AI and data centers to concerns about electricity costs, environmental impacts and potential effects on workers.

Reports highlighted that he had earned a medical degree from Columbia University but had not completed a residency or obtained a state medical license. Rogers challenged El-Sayed saying, “he’s not really a doctor”. El-Sayed defended his credentials by pointing to his medical degree, and explained that he chose a career in public health rather than clinical practice.
另一个重大案例涉及10月17日在密歇根州卡罗举行的一次市民大会上，埃尔-赛义德被问及有关穆斯林兄弟会的问题。一名与会者问他：“你肯与穆斯林兄弟会划清界限吗？”埃尔-赛义德回答：“当然，可以，绝对可以。”随后他反问为什么自己的穆斯林信仰会被与对美国宪法的忠诚问题联系在一起。他说：“我竞选的不是穆斯林参议员。我是竞选美国参议员，而我恰好是个穆斯林。”
Another significant case involved El-Sayed being questioned about the Muslim Brotherhood during a town hall in Caro, Michigan, on October 17. An attendee asked him, “will you disavow the Muslim Brotherhood?”El-Sayed replied, “sure, yeah, absolutely.”He then questioned why his Muslim faith was being linked to questions about his loyalty to the US Constitution. “I’m not running to be a Muslim senator. I’m running for the US Senate and happen to be Muslim”, he said.
共和党对手迈克·罗杰斯批评了他的回应，称“他没有与其划清界限”，并称埃尔-赛义德的解释是“不知所云的废话”。埃尔-赛义德后来表示，他已“明确谴责”了该组织。个人财富及其他根据《福克斯新闻》审阅的财务披露信息，阿卜杜勒·埃尔-赛义德及其妻子萨拉·朱卡库共同持有的资产等，其家庭估计净资产在87万美元至210万美元之间。

El-Sayed later said he had “clearly condemned” the organization. Personal wealth and moreAccording to his financial disclosures reviewed by Fox News, Abdul El-Sayed’s estimated household net worth ranged between $870,000 and $2.1 million, including assets held jointly with his wife, Sarah Jukaku.

The disclosures listed rental properties in Ann Arbor, Michigan, Bangalore and Dubai, along with a liability to a Dubai based real estate developer. The 2026 Senate election marks an important moment in El-Sayed’s political career as he seeks to represent Michigan in Washington. His campaign has focused on healthcare reform, workers’ rights and the cost of living.
