前众议员贾斯汀·阿马什——他在周一宣布，自己在密歇根州的联邦参议员竞选中，既没有投给阿卜杜勒·埃尔-赛义德，也没有投给前众议员迈克·罗杰斯——表示，他认为埃尔-赛义德“在实践中将远比罗杰斯不那么危险”。罗杰斯是共和党候选人，获得了唐纳德·特朗普总统的背书，正在这场备受关注的参议员竞选中面对民主党候选人埃尔-赛义德。
Former Rep. Justin Amash — who announced on Monday that he did not vote for Abdul El-Sayed or former Rep. Mike Rogers in Michigan's U.S. Senate race — said he thinks El-Sayed would "be far less dangerous in practice than Rogers." Rogers, a Republican candidate endorsed by President Donald Trump, is facing Democratic candidate El-Sayed in the widely-watched Senate contest.
“毋庸置疑，我与迈克·罗杰斯和阿卜杜勒·埃尔-赛义德都存在重大分歧，而且他们两个都不特别喜欢我，”阿马什在X平台的一个帖子串中写道。“我也不投‘两害相权取其轻’。我认为，只有当你真心希望某人担任该职位时，才应该支持该候选人。我已经投票了，依据上述原则，我既没投给罗杰斯，也没投给埃尔-赛义德。但我确实知道谁在联邦参议院会更危险——这根本不需要对比。”
"It goes without saying that I have major disagreements with both Mike Rogers and Abdul El-Sayed, and neither one particularly likes me," Amash wrote in a thread on X. "I also don’t vote for 'the lesser of two evils.' I believe you should support a candidate only if you truly want the person to hold that office. I’ve already voted, and consistent with the above principle, I didn’t vote for Rogers or El-Sayed. But I do know which one would be more dangerous in the U.S. Senate — and it’s not even close."
阿马什指出，参议员伯尼·桑德斯（无党籍-佛蒙特州）是一位与埃尔-赛义德相似的政治人物。桑德斯已在参议员竞选中支持埃尔-赛义德。
Amash pointed to Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., as a political figure that resembles El-Sayed. Sanders has supported El-Sayed in the Senate race.
“要评估谁对美国自由构成更大威胁，让我们看看我在国会期间与罗杰斯和伯尼·桑德斯的共事经历，后者与埃尔-赛义德观点相近，可作为他的替身，”阿马什写道。“在我看来，桑德斯的几项关键提案将对国家造成极大危害。但鉴于我们的政府架构，他根本无法让那些想法付诸实施和执行。”
"To assess who is the greater threat to American freedom, let’s take a look at my time in Congress with Rogers and Bernie Sanders, who shares many of El-Sayed’s views and can serve as his stand-in," Amash wrote. "Several of Sanders’s key proposals, in my opinion, would be exceptionally bad for our country. But given the structure of our government, he’s in no position to get those ideas enacted and enforced.
“相比之下，罗杰斯在所有由国会个别议员可能成为决定性一票的议题上表现极其糟糕。再次强调，这些议题包括战争权力、监控、隐私、言论自由、刑事司法，以及政府监督和问责，”他断言道。“在现实世界——而非左右两派党派评论员所生活的想象世界中——罗杰斯对个人自由和宪法构成的威胁远大于桑德斯。此外，问题不仅在于罗杰斯在这些方面极其糟糕；更在于桑德斯在这些议题上实际上比国会的中位数议员要好得多。”
"In contrast, Rogers is extraordinarily bad on all the issues on which an individual member of Congress may be the deciding vote. Again, these are issues like war powers, surveillance, privacy, the freedom of speech, criminal justice, and government oversight and accountability," he asserted. "In this world — the real world, not the imaginary one that partisan pundits on the right and left live in — Rogers poses a far greater threat to individual liberty and the Constitution than Sanders. Moreover, it’s not just that Rogers is awful here; it’s that Sanders is actually much better on these issues than the median member of Congress."
阿马什断言，在罗杰斯和埃尔-赛义德之间，这位民主党候选人“危害性较小”。
Amash asserted that between Rogers and El-Sayed, the Democratic candidate would be "less dangerous."
“我认为，将埃尔-赛义德视为一个在政策上大多将追随桑德斯脚步的人是公平的，因此他在实践中将远比罗杰斯少危害得多，”阿马什写道，并在括号中补充道：“（再次强调，作为参议员，埃尔-赛义德会做许多坏事。此处详细探讨的问题不是他好不好，而仅仅是他总体上是否比罗杰斯更好。）” 罗杰斯竞选团队和埃尔-赛义德竞选团队周二均未立即回应福克斯新闻数字频道的置评请求。
"I think it’s fair to view El-Sayed as someone who mostly will follow in Sanders’s footsteps on policy and therefore will be far less dangerous in practice than Rogers," Amash wrote, adding in parentheses, "(Again, El-Sayed as a senator will do many things that are bad. The question addressed at length is not whether he’s good but simply whether he’s better on the whole than Rogers.)" The Rogers and the El-Sayed campaigns did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's requests for comment on Tuesday.
阿马什曾于2011年初至2021年初担任美国众议院议员，于2019年底投票弹劾唐纳德·特朗普总统。他在国会任职的大部分时间里是共和党人，2019年转为独立人士，2020年又转为自由意志党人。他在2024年密歇根州联邦参议员共和党初选中败给了罗杰斯。
Amash, who served in the U.S. House of Representatives from early 2011 until early 2021, voted to impeach President Donald Trump in late 2019. While he served most of his congressional tenure as a Republican, Amash switched to Independent in 2019 and then to Libertarian in 2020. He lost the 2024 GOP Michigan U.S. Senate primary to Rogers.
罗杰斯随后在当年大选中败给了民主党人埃莉莎·斯洛特金，后者当时是众议院议员。
Rogers went on to lose the general election that year to Democrat Elissa Slotkin, who was a House lawmaker at the time.
密歇根州民主党众议员海利·史蒂文斯在今年民主党参议员初选中败给了埃尔-赛义德，她于周日背书罗杰斯，搅动了2026年大选局势。
Rep. Haley Stevens, D-Mich., who lost the Democratic Senate primary to El-Sayed this year, shook up the 2026 general election when she endorsed Rogers on Sunday.
