密歇根州众议员黑莉·斯蒂文斯已请求美国联邦法警局提供保护。这位民主党人告诉当局，她因在摇摆州激烈竞争的参议院选举中支持共和党人迈克·罗杰斯而收到死亡威胁，两名特朗普政府高级官员向Axios透露了这一消息。
Michigan Rep. Haley Stevens has requested U.S. marshals' protection after the Democrat told authorities she had received death threats for endorsing Republican Mike Rogers in the swing state's hotly contested Senate race, two senior Trump administration officials tell Axios.
为何重要：斯蒂文斯周日突然决定将支持对象从民主党参议院候选人阿卜杜勒·埃尔赛义德转为罗杰斯，这是中期选举竞选最后几天最大的政治新闻。
Why it matters: Stevens' surprise decision Sunday to switch her endorsement to Rogers over Democratic Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed was the biggest political story of the midterm campaign's final days.
- 斯蒂文斯在密歇根州参议院初选中败给埃尔赛义德，在支持罗杰斯后遭到民主党广泛批评，她的高级工作人员也纷纷辞职。
• Stevens — who lost to El-Sayed in the Michigan Senate primary — was widely criticized by Democrats after siding with Rogers, and her top staff members resigned.
- “她收到了死亡威胁，并联系了联邦法警局，”其中一名官员表示。“需要经过一个流程，但她是国会议员，我们预计她的请求将得到满足。”
• "She has received death threats and reached out to the Marshals Service," one of the officials said. "There's a process to go through but she's a member of Congress and we expect her request will be fulfilled."
深入：斯蒂文斯对以色列的支持以及他对犹太国家的批评，是他们初选竞选中的主要分歧点。
Zoom in: Stevens' support for Israel and his criticism of the Jewish state was a major dividing line in their primary campaign.
- 斯蒂文斯反对埃尔赛义德与有争议的进步派主播哈桑·皮克的关系，以及一个与皮克的叔叔森克·尤恩克有关的政治行动委员会发布的一则广告，该广告将杂货价格上涨归咎于以色列。
• Stevens objected to El-Sayed's ties to controversial progressive streamer Hasan Piker and an ad by a PAC tied to Piker's uncle, Cenk Uygur, blaming Israel for rising grocery prices.
- 埃尔赛义德否认了该广告，但斯蒂文斯表示，她认为他没有做足够的事情来回应她的担忧，也不希望他在竞选活动中得到她的帮助。
• El-Sayed disavowed the ad, but Stevens said she believed he hadn't done enough to address her concerns and didn't want her help on the campaign trail.
- 当她被告知不再受欢迎参加埃尔赛义德的竞选活动时，争议达到顶点。斯蒂文斯在周日与罗杰斯一起出席教堂礼拜后，宣布支持罗杰斯。
• The dispute came to a head when she was told she was no longer welcome at El-Sayed's campaign events. Stevens announced her endorsement of Rogers after appearing with him at a church service on Sunday. Stevens could not be reached
斯蒂文斯无法联系周二发表评论。
