密歇根州剩余的民主党联邦参议员候选人——联邦众议员海莉·史蒂文斯和前密歇根州卫生官员阿卜杜勒·赛义德——将于周二展开电视辩论，就在两天前，州参议员马洛里·麦克莫罗暂停了其竞选活动。
麦克莫罗的退出打乱了本已激烈的初选局势，此次初选本就因党内争斗而风波不断。麦克莫罗将自己定位为史蒂文斯与赛义德之间的中间派：史蒂文斯是温和派，得到了纽约州联邦参议院少数党领袖查克·舒默的支持；赛义德则是进步派，获得了佛蒙特州联邦参议员伯尼·桑德斯和纽约州联邦众议员亚历山大·奥卡西奥-科特兹的支持。
史蒂文斯与赛义德之间的初选将于8月4日举行，获胜者将在大选中迎战前共和党联邦众议员迈克·罗杰斯。罗杰斯2024年竞选联邦参议员时以微弱劣势输给了民主党现任参议员伊丽莎白·斯利特金。现任该席位的民主党参议员加里·彼得斯即将退休。
此次参议院选举是本届选举周期中最受关注的参议院角逐之一。守住这一席位对于民主党在11月赢得参议院多数席位至关重要。民主党若想重新掌控参议院，需要拿下4个摇摆席位，同时还要守住包括密歇根州在内的其他竞争激烈的席位。
民主党候选人上次辩论是在5月，尽管此次选举凸显了党内深刻分歧，尤其是在以色列问题上，但两人几乎未互相攻击。赛义德对以色列持强烈批评态度，而史蒂文斯则支持以色列。
在5月的辩论中被问及自己得到亲以色列政治行动委员会美以公共事务委员会（AIPAC）支持意味着什么时，史蒂文斯未直接回应，而是称自己的竞选活动是“写给我们州的一封情书”，同时列举了其他支持其参选的人士。
“你根本没有回答这个问题，”赛义德说道。

赛义德暗示，AIPAC捐赠者的资金被用来选举那些会反对削减美国对以色列援助的议员。
“我来告诉你什么绝对不会影响我的立场——那就是AIPAC的资金，这笔钱已经在本次选举中被用来吹捧台上的一位同僚了，”他说。“我认为，我们每年4月缴纳的纳税人钱款，不应用于轰炸儿童，不应用于为其他国家的炸弹和坦克提供资金，毕竟我们国内还有连基本生活物资都负担不起的孩子。”
而史蒂文斯则批评赛义德与哈桑·皮克一同竞选。哈桑·皮克是一名热门网络主播，他针对以色列与哈马斯在加沙地带的战争发表的言论引发了争议。
Democrats Haley Stevens and Abdul El-Sayed face off in primary debate for Michigan Senate

Michigan’s remaining Democratic Senate candidates — Rep. Haley Stevens and former Michigan health official Abdul El-Sayed — are set to go head to head in a televised debate Tuesday, two days after state Sen. Mallory McMorrow suspended her campaign.
McMorrow’s departure shook up an already-heated primary that has been marred by intraparty fighting. McMorrow cast herself as the middle ground between Stevens, a moderate who has the backing of Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer of New York, and El-Sayed, a progressive who is supported by Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York.
The primary between Stevens and El-Sayed is Aug. 4, with the winner advancing to compete against former GOP Rep. Mike Rogers in the general election. Rogers narrowly lost his last bid for Senate to Democratic Sen. Elissa Slotkin in 2024. Democratic Sen. Gary Peters, who currently holds the seat, is retiring.
The race is one of the mostly closely watched Senate contests this cycle. Holding the seat is critical to Democrats’ chances of winning the Senate majority in November. In order to regain control of the Senate, Democrats need to flip four seats while defending other competitive seats, including in Michigan.
The Democratic candidates last debated in May, where they took few shots at one another, despite deep divisions that the race has highlighted, particularly over Israel. El-Sayed has been highly critical of Israel while Stevens has been supportive of the nation.
Asked during the May debate about what it means that her campaign has the backing of the pro-Israel political action committee AIPAC, Stevens avoided a direct response and called her campaign “a love letter to our state” while listing off others who support her candidacy.
“You’re also just not answering the question,” El-Sayed said.

El-Sayed suggested that money from AIPAC donors was used to elect lawmakers who will oppose cutting U.S. funding for Israel.
“Let me tell you what absolutely would not shape my perception — it’s AIPAC money, which is being spent already in this race to pump up one of my colleagues on this stage,” he said. “I don’t think that our taxpayer dollars, which we pay every April, ought to be going to bomb children, to fund bombs and tanks for other countries when we got kids who can’t afford basic things in our own.”
Stevens, meanwhile, has criticized El-Sayed for campaigning with Hasan Piker, a popular online streamer whose comments on Israel’s war with Hamas in the Gaza Strip have drawn controversy.
