密歇根州选民将于周二选出该州下一任联邦参议员，任期六年。两届现任参议员加里·彼得斯（民主党）决定不寻求连任。
Michiganders on Tuesday will pick their next U.S. senator to serve for a six-year term, with two-term incumbent Sen. Gary Peters (D) opting not to seek reelection.
这场密歇根州竞选或许是今年最受瞩目的中期选举竞争之一，该州在特朗普总统的三次总统竞选中有两次获胜，包括2024年大选。共和党早早将“狼獾州”视为潜在的翻盘机会，而公共卫生官员阿卜杜勒·埃尔-赛义德获得提名更让他们信心大增。
The Michigan race is perhaps one of the most high-profile midterm contests this year, taking place in a state President Trump won in two out of his three presidential campaigns, including 2024. The Wolverine State was eyed by Republicans as a potential flip opportunity early in the cycle, and the nomination of public health official Abdul El-Sayed made them even more optimistic.
埃尔-赛义德在过去十年间曾领导底特律和韦恩县的卫生部门，他在今年早些时候的初选中以微弱优势击败了立场更温和的联邦众议员海利·史蒂文斯，赢得提名，那场初选竞争激烈且备受关注。州参议员马洛里·麦克莫罗也曾参选，一度在部分民调中领先，但她在选举前退出了竞争。
El-Sayed, who led the health departments in Detroit and Wayne County in the last decade, very narrowly won the nomination earlier this year over more moderate U.S. Rep. Haley Stevens in a contentious and closely watched race. State Sen. Mallory McMorrow also ran in the primary and, at one point, led in some polls, but she dropped out before the election.
共和党方面，前联邦众议员迈克·罗杰斯正在发起第二次冲击参议院席位的竞选，两年前他曾在对阵现任参议员埃莉萨·斯洛特金的竞选中落败，当时斯洛特金还是联邦众议员。
On the Republican side, former Rep. Mike Rogers is mounting a second bid for the upper chamber, after previously having fallen short two years ago against now-Sen. Elissa Slotkin, who was at the time a member of the U.S. House.
投票将于美东时间晚上8点或9点截止，具体取决于州内所在地区。
Polls close at 8 p.m. or 9 p.m. EST, depending on location within the state.
