前民主党全国委员会（DNC）主席哈里森表示，人们因众议员海莉·史蒂文斯（民主党-密歇根州）在最后关头决定背书前众议员迈克·罗杰斯（共和党-密歇根州）而非民主党人阿卜杜勒·埃尔-赛义德，在密歇根州参议员竞选中感到“被背叛”。
Former Democratic National Committee (DNC) Chair Jaime Harrison said people are “feeling betrayed” by Rep. Haley Stevens’s (D-Mich.) last-minute decision to endorse former Rep. Mike Rogers (R-Mich.) over Democrat Abdul El-Sayed in Michigan’s Senate race.
“我认为，许诺了就要兑现，”哈里森在接受《国会山报》广播合作伙伴NewsNation采访时表示。“我认为有很多人感到被背叛，因为海莉曾承诺支持阿卜杜勒，现在却食言了。”史蒂文斯周日在出席底特律一场教堂活动后背书罗杰斯。她的决定是在过去几天与埃尔-赛义德因一则政治广告发生公开争执后做出的。
“I believe when you give your word, you keep it,” Harrison said during an appearance on The Hill’s broadcasting partner NewsNation. “I think there are a lot of folks who are feeling betrayed because Haley committed to supporting Abdul, and now she’s reneged on that commitment.”Stevens endorsed Rogers on Sunday following an appearance at a Detroit church event. Her decision comes after a public feud in the past few days with El-Sayed stemming from a political .
该广告将以色列与美国高昂的杂货价格挂钩，导致史蒂文斯发表声明，称埃尔-赛义德没有足够有力地谴责该广告。
The ad tied Israel to high grocery prices in the U.S., which resulted in Stevens releasing a statement saying the El-Sayed did not condemn the ad forcefully enough.
这两位民主党人原定于周日在底特律与众议员詹姆斯·克莱伯恩（民主党-南卡罗来纳州）同台出席一场活动，但埃尔-赛义德要求这位前初选对手远离他的竞选活动，并取消了她周日活动的邀请。
The two Democrats were initially scheduled to appear at an event on Sunday in Detroit alongside Rep. James Clyburn (D-S.C.), but El-Sayed asked his former primary opponent to stay away from his campaign events and disinvited her from Sunday’s event.
史蒂文斯周一在社交平台X上发布声明为背书罗杰斯的决定辩护，称：“一旦我得出结论，认为阿卜杜勒·埃尔-赛义德不适合在美国参议院任职，我就必须面对该支持谁的问题。”“我选择了迈克·罗杰斯，希望他能延续约翰·麦凯恩的传统：一位愿意将国家置于党派之上、在良知要求时敢于对抗自己阵营的参议员。”她补充道。
In a statement posted to the social platform X on Monday, Stevens defended her decision to back Rogers saying, “once I concluded that Abdul El-Sayed is not fit to serve in the United States Senate, I had to confront who should.”“I chose Mike Rogers, with the hope that he can serve in the tradition of John McCain: a senator willing to put country before party and stand up to his own side when conscience requires it,” she added.
斯蒂文斯转换立场后，埃尔-赛义德对记者说：“归根结底，我其实不考虑海莉·斯蒂文斯。”
Following Stevens’s switch, El-Sayed told reporters, “At the end of the day, I actually don’t think about Haley Stevens.”
在NewsNation节目中，哈里森表示：“你不必同意提名人的每一个立场，但承诺应该意味着什么。”前共和党全国委员会（RNC）主席罗娜·麦克丹尼尔也参与了NewsNation的采访，她说她认为共和党可能赢得密歇根州参议院竞选，但无法对得克萨斯州或堪萨斯州说同样的话。
During his NewsNation appearance, Harrison said, “you don’t have to agree with every position a nominee takes, but commitment should mean something.”Former Republican National Committee (RNC) Chair Ronna McDaniel, who was also part of the NewsNation interview, said she thinks the Michigan Senate race might be won by Republicans, but could not say the same for Texas or Kansas.
“我认为我们将保住参议院，”她说。“我认为我们将保住俄亥俄州。我认为我们将赢得密歇根州。”非党派选举预测机构Decision Desk HQ表示，埃尔-赛义德有望赢得参议院竞选。
“I think we keep the Senate,” she said. “I think we keep Ohio. I think we win Michigan.”Nonpartisan election forecaster Decision Desk HQ says El-Sayed is likely to win the Senate race.
