埃尔-赛义德多次与伊斯兰主义运动划清界限，并指责特朗普散布谎言以转移选民视线。虽然他批评过以色列，但并未贬低犹太裔或黑人选民。
Mr El-Sayed has repeatedly disavowed the Islamist movement, and accused Mr Trump of spreading lies to distract voters. And while he has criticised Israel, he has not disparaged Jewish or black voters.
周一，在家乡州举行的一场集会上，埃尔-赛义德对选民表示：“我的名字和我的信仰，不是你们买不起汽油的原因——不是你们买不起食品杂货的原因，不是你们付不起房租、房贷的原因，也不是你们看不起病的原因。”共和党抓住移民和宗教问题，将其作为今年中期选举的核心议题之一，以此攻击民主党极左翼阵营中的埃尔-赛义德等对手。
In a rally in his home state on Monday, Mr El-Sayed told voters: “My name and my faith are not the reason you can’t afford your gas – not the reason you can’t afford your groceries, not the reason you can’t pay your rent, your mortgage, not the reason you can’t see a doctor.”Republicans have latched on to immigration and religion as some of the defining issues of this year’s midterms, using them to attack opponents such as Mr El-Sayed who sit on the ultra-Left of the Democratic Party.
在竞选途中，特朗普吹嘘自己在减少非法越境方面取得的成效，声称民主党此前任由移民“涌过我们的边境”，并称“如果他们在中期选举中获胜，还会故技重施”。
On the campaign trail, Mr Trump has pitched his success in reducing illegal border crossings, claiming that Democrats previously allowed migrants to “pour across our borders” and that “if they win in the midterms, they’ll do it again”.
作为回应，民主党候选人指责总统利用这些问题，转移公众对伊朗战争及其引发的连锁物价上涨对普通美国人冲击的关注。
In response, Democratic candidates have accused the president of using such issues to deflect from the war in Iran and the knock-on price rises for everyday Americans.

However, support for US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) remains strong across party lines, with the majority of voters saying they still back the agency despite accusations it has become too heavy-handed.
总体而言，在中期选举前接受PF Global民调的美国人中，58%表示支持ICE，并认为其突击搜捕行动阻止了人们前往美国。其中包括59%在上届总统大选中投票给卡玛拉·哈里斯的人，以及72%投票给特朗普先生的人。
