众议员海莉·史蒂文斯（民主党-密歇根州）暗示，她最近在密歇根州联邦参议员竞选中背书的前众议员迈克·罗杰斯（共和党-密歇根州）——而非民主党提名人阿卜杜勒·埃尔-赛义德——可能类似于两位以背离本党立场著称的共和党参议员。
Rep. Haley Stevens (D-Mich.) suggested former Rep. Mike Rogers (R-Mich.), whom she recently endorsed for the Senate seat in Michigan over Democratic nominee Abdul El-Sayed, could be similar to two Republican senators known to buck their party.
据《自由新闻》周一发布的采访，史蒂文斯表示支持这位共和党候选人是因为“我认为他热爱国家”。“也许他能成为一个麦凯恩式人物或丽莎·穆科斯基，”史蒂文斯在采访中继续说道，她提到了参议员丽莎·穆科斯基（阿拉斯加州）和已故参议员约翰·麦凯恩（亚利桑那州），这两位共和党人以独立立场闻名。
In an interview released Monday by The Free Press, Stevens said she backed the GOP candidate because “I think he loves the country.”“Maybe he can be a McCain-type person or a Lisa Murkowski,” Stevens continued in the interview, referencing Sen. Lisa Murkowski (Alaska) and the late Sen. John McCain (Ariz.), two Republicans known for their independent streaks.
周日，史蒂文斯背书罗杰斯担任参议员，而非埃尔-赛义德。去年夏天，埃尔-赛义德在一场激烈的民主党初选中击败了史蒂文斯。
On Sunday, Stevens endorsed Rogers to serve in the Senate over El-Sayed, who was victorious against Stevens in a tense Democratic primary battle last summer.
史蒂文斯的宣布是在她与埃尔-赛义德数天争执之后作出的，距离选举日仅两天。
Stevens’s announcement followed days of feuding between herself and El-Sayed and came only two days before Election Day.
因以色列及其在加沙的战争而产生的愤怒，是埃尔-赛义德与史蒂文斯初选交锋、近期争执以及史蒂文斯决定背书罗杰斯的核心原因。
Anger due to Israel and its war in Gaza was central to the primary fight between El-Sayed and Stevens, their recent feud and Stevens’s decision to endorse Rogers.
这位众议院民主党人曾推动埃尔-赛义德公开谴责一个外部团体发布的反以色列竞选广告。但埃尔-赛义德拒绝了，并明确表示上周末史蒂文斯不受邀参加周日的一场竞选活动。
The House Democrat had pushed for El-Sayed to publicly condemn an anti-Israel campaign ad from an outside group. But El-Sayed refused and made it clear last weekend Stevens was not welcome at a campaign event Sunday that she had been invited to.
埃尔-赛义德曾表达希望美国切断对以色列的财政援助，并将这笔资金用于国内开支。在针对史蒂文斯的初选期间，她从亲以色列游说团体获得了数百万美元资助。
El-Sayed has expressed his desire for the U.S. to cut off financial aid to Israel and instead spend that money domestically. During his primary against Stevens, she received millions from pro-Israel lobbying groups.
埃尔-赛义德与史蒂文斯之间的紧张关系反映了民主党在支持以色列问题上的更广泛分歧，许多人不赞成该国在加沙战争中的行动，一些人将其称为种族灭绝。
The tension between El-Sayed and Stevens represents a broader split among Democrats over the issue of support for Israel, with many disapproving of the country’s actions in its war in Gaza, which some have labeled as a genocide.
