迈赫迪·哈桑表示，推动阿卜杜勒·埃尔-赛义德在密歇根州获胜的是经济方面的关切，而非他的穆斯林身份。他将这一结果与民主党民粹主义的上升联系起来，同时呼吁对特朗普政府进行审视。
Mehdi Hasan said economic concerns, rather than Muslim identity, drove Abdul El-Sayed's Michigan victory. He linked the result to rising Democratic populism while urging scrutiny of the Trump administration.
记者兼政治评论员迈赫迪·哈桑表示，民主党候选人阿卜杜勒·埃尔-赛义德在密歇根州州长竞选中获胜，更多是出于经济方面的关切，而非他的穆斯林身份。他认为，这位候选人对医疗保健、生活成本和金钱政治的关注，帮助他赢得了各个群体的支持。
Democratic candidate Abdul El-Sayed’s victory in Michigan gubernatorial race was driven more by economic concerns than by his Muslim identity, journalist and political commentator Mehdi Hasan has said, arguing that the candidate's focus on healthcare, the cost of living and money in politics helped him win support across communities.
在接受《今日印度》独家采访时，哈桑——数字新闻平台泽特奥的主编、美国总统唐纳德·特朗普的公开批评者——表示，埃尔-赛义德开展了一场以影响普通美国人的议题为核心的民粹主义竞选。他驳斥了那种认为这一结果主要可以用密歇根州穆斯林群体的支持来解释的说法。
In an exclusive interview with India Today, Hasan, editor of digital news platform Zeteo and a vocal critic of US President Donald Trump, said El-Sayed had run a populist campaign centred on issues affecting ordinary Americans. He rejected suggestions that the result could be explained primarily by support from Michigan's Muslim population.
哈桑说：“他开展的是一场非常简单、经过实践检验的竞选，面向的是那些愤怒的人。”
"He ran on a very simple, tried and tested campaign for people who are mad," Hasan said.
他说，埃尔-赛义德的竞选围绕全民医保、医疗保健的可及性、减少金钱对政治的影响以及让民众口袋里有更多钱等议题展开。哈桑将这位候选人的做法与纽约政治人物佐兰·马姆达尼相提并论，后者的竞选也聚焦于生活成本和经济关切。
He said El-Sayed had built his campaign around issues such as Medicare for All, access to healthcare, reducing the influence of money in politics and putting more money in people's pockets. Hasan compared the candidate's approach to that of New York politician Zohran Mamdani, whose campaign also focused on the cost of living and economic concerns.
哈桑认为，埃尔-赛义德的胜利不能仅归功于穆斯林选民，并指出穆斯林只占密歇根州人口的一小部分。他说，这位候选人成功地吸引了不同人口群体和政治群体的选民。经济民粹主义在民主党内部日益得势哈桑表示，经济民粹主义正在成为民主党内部一股更加突出的力量，候选人越来越多地与亿万富翁、大型企业以及富有捐赠者的影响力作斗争。他还指出，反对AI数据中心的呼声日益高涨，称人们对其经济和社会后果的担忧正成为更广泛辩论的一部分。
Hasan argued that El-Sayed's victory could not be attributed to Muslim voters alone, pointing out that Muslims make up only a small share of Michigan's population. He said the candidate had managed to appeal to voters across demographic and political groups. ECONOMIC POPULISM GAINS GROUND AMONG DEMOCRATS Hasan said economic populism was becoming a more prominent force within the Democratic Party, with candidates increasingly taking on billionaires, large corporations and the influence of wealthy donors. He also pointed to growing opposition to AI data centres, saying concerns about their economic and social consequences were becoming part of the wider debate.
哈桑表示，参议员伯尼·桑德斯在2016年总统竞选期间所传达的政治信息，此后已成为民主党的主流。
According to Hasan, the political message associated with Senator Bernie Sanders during his 2016 presidential campaign had since moved into the mainstream of the Democratic Party.
他说，埃尔-萨耶德的竞选活动反映了更广泛的转变，即关注经济不平等以及那些在生活成本压力下挣扎的选民的担忧。
He said El-Sayed's campaign reflected a broader shift towards addressing economic inequality and the concerns of voters struggling with the cost of living.
哈桑说，中期选举结果为反对仇恨和分裂的人们带来了一些希望，尤其是在他所描述的针对埃尔-萨耶德的伊斯兰恐惧症竞选活动之后。然而，他质疑民主党领导人是否会利用他们在国会中的多数席位来兑现承诺，并追究特朗普政府的责任。
Hasan said the midterm results offered some hope to those opposing hate and division, particularly after what he described as an Islamophobic campaign against El-Sayed. However, he questioned whether Democratic leaders would use their congressional majority to deliver on their promises and hold the Trump administration accountable.
伊朗战争、腐败是共和党失利背后的原因：哈桑 哈桑还表示，伊朗战争和特朗普政府的腐败是共和党在美国中期选举中失利的主要因素，他称这场冲突是该党选举失利“万恶之源”。
IRAN WAR, CORRUPTION BEHIND REPUBLICAN SETBACK: HASAN Hasan also said the Iran war and corruption in the Donald Trump administration were major factors behind the Republican Party's defeat in the US midterm elections, calling the conflict the "root of all evil" behind the party's electoral setback.
他说，这场战争推高了燃料和食品价格，并破坏了特朗普关于美国不会卷入新战争的竞选承诺。
He said the war pushed up fuel and grocery prices and undermined Trump's campaign promise that the United States would not enter new wars.
“就共和党在这些选举中未能取得任何进展而言，伊朗战争是万恶之源，”哈桑在接受India Today TV采访时表示。
"The Iran war is the root of all evil when it comes to the failure of the Republicans to make any headway in these elections," Hasan told India Today TV.
他说，特朗普曾向选民承诺，他将降低生活成本并结束通货膨胀，但冲突却产生了相反的效果。哈桑还提到了副总统JD·万斯的社交媒体帖子，该帖子将共和党失利归咎于伊朗战争。
He said Trump had promised voters that he would bring down the cost of living and end inflation, but the conflict had the opposite effect. Hasan also pointed to Vice President JD Vance's social media post blaming the Iran war for the Republican losses.
哈桑说，腐败也成为美国选民的一个主要问题，他引用了中期选举前进行的一项福克斯新闻民意调查，该调查发现腐败是该国最受关注的问题。
Corruption had also emerged as a major issue for American voters, Hasan said, citing a Fox News poll conducted before the midterm elections that found it was the country's top concern.
“美国人对他们看到的腐败、华盛顿特区的贪婪感到厌倦，这在很多民意调查中都是一个重要议题，”他说。
"Americans are so fed up with the corruption they're seeing, the grift in Washington, DC, that it was a top issue in a lot of polls," he said.
哈桑认为，民主党在控制国会两院后，应优先调查涉嫌腐败的案件。“特朗普主义不会消失”尽管共和党遭遇败选，哈桑警告不要将结果解读为特朗普主义或“让美国再次伟大”（MAGA）运动的终结。
Hasan argued that Democrats should make investigations into alleged corruption a priority after taking control of both chambers of Congress. 'TRUMPISM IS NOT GOING ANYWHERE' Despite the Republican defeat, Hasan cautioned against interpreting the results as the end of Trumpism or the Make America Great Again (MAGA) movement.
他说，特朗普将继续任职至2029年1月，并警告称，他建立的政治运动将在其总统任期结束后长期延续。
He said Trump would remain in office until January 2029 and warned that the political movement he had built would continue long after his presidency.
“特朗普主义、MAGA、这种新法西斯运动，将长期伴随我们。甚至可能变得更糟，”哈桑说。
"Trumpism, MAGA, this neo-fascist movement, will be with us for a long time to come. It may even get worse," Hasan said.
他补充称，在过去十年特朗普政治崛起过程中成长起来的年轻共和党人，在他看来，甚至比总统更靠右。
He added that younger Republicans who had grown up during Trump's political rise over the past decade were, in his assessment, even further to the right than the President.
哈桑表示，未来两年对民主党至关重要，必须提出另一种治理模式和政策，同时对特朗普的权力进行制衡。
Hasan said the next two years would be crucial for Democrats to present an alternative model of governance and policies while placing checks on Trump's power.
哈桑为何希望民主党聚焦调查 哈桑还探讨了民主党在控制国会后是否会寻求弹劾特朗普。他说，党领导层不热衷于推动弹劾，部分原因是难以获得足够的参议院票数来定罪总统。他建议民主党转而聚焦于对特朗普政府其他成员及其亲信的调查。
WHY HASAN WANTS DEMOCRATS TO FOCUS ON INVESTIGATIONS Hasan also discussed whether Democrats would seek to impeach Trump after taking control of Congress. He said the party's leadership was not keen on pursuing impeachment, partly because it would be difficult to secure enough Senate votes to convict the President. He suggested that Democrats could instead focus on investigations into other members of the Trump administration and people close to him.
他点名的对象包括国防部长皮特·赫格塞斯、卫生部长小罗伯特·F·肯尼迪、白宫助手斯蒂芬·米勒以及特朗普女婿贾里德·库什纳。
Among those he named were Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth, Health Secretary Robert F Kennedy Jr, White House aide Stephen Miller and Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner.
哈桑辩称，民主党时间和资源有限，应追求他所谓的更容易触及的调查目标。
Hasan argued that Democrats had limited time and resources and should pursue what he described as more accessible targets for investigation.
他还表示，民主党对中期选举结果的回应将至关重要。虽然共和党失利为民主党提供了挑战特朗普政府的机会，但他对党领袖是否会利用国会多数席位兑现承诺持怀疑态度。
He also said the party's response to the midterm results would be crucial. While the Republican losses offered Democrats an opportunity to challenge the Trump administration, he remained sceptical about whether their leaders would use their congressional majority to deliver on their promises.
