Former President Barack Obama will campaign alongside Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed in Detroit later this month, lending his support to the progressive nominee after a bruising Democratic primary exposed divisions within the party.
Obama will appear with El-Sayed at an Oct. 24 rally that will also feature other top Democratic candidates in Michigan, including Jocelyn Benson, the party’s nominee for governor. Obama is getting significantly more involved in the midterm elections, with additional campaign stops and advertisements expected to come in the closing weeks, according to plans shared first with The Associated Press.
The Detroit event is a notable show of support for El-Sayed, who defeated moderate Rep. Haley Stevens in an August primary and has since worked to consolidate Democratic support in his race against Republican Mike Rogers. The open seat is expected to be among a handful that will decide which party controls the majority next year.
Obama taped two dozen ads last week for Democratic candidates for governor and Senate that will be released in the coming days and weeks, in addition to more campaign stops soon to be announced.
He appeared earlier this year in a campaign ad with Iowa Senate candidate Josh Turek and campaigned in Texas with Senate candidate James Talarico and the candidate for governor, Gina Hinojosa. This week, he will headline a Washington fundraiser supporting Democratic Senate candidates.

No surprise. 0bama had a plan when elected and it was not for our own good.
I hope Obama lectures ‘the brothers’ again about not showing up to vote Dem.
But of course.
Obazma.....the rift that keeps on giving.
The Obama Jinx ,LOL
Bammy did wonders for Kamala.
Why wouldn’t one muslim be expected to back a second muslim?
Also, he took the deficit from $9t to $20t and really was the one to dramatically weaken America financially. Nobody talks about this. While Bush did raise the deficit he was dealing with 9/11. Obama doubled it, then Trump, Biden, Trump continued the reckless spending talking us to $40t.
Lol, what a big tent clown show. Will he order the brutherz to vote for Abdulraham Mohamed El’Sayed? Bring Big Mike too.
Two mooselimbs walk into a gay bath house.......
People in MI need brain transplants.
Pick the most contrived billionaire funded tool closet fagot muzzi and jug ears can’t wait to talk his leftist psycho babble.
Yeah that figures. My Grandma once told me, "Show me who your friends are, and I'll tell you who YOU are".
Think Gretchen the queen/gov.
But But I thought the Hamas lover has the election in the bag why did he have to beg Hussein to come rally for him..is he going to beg the “brothers” to vote for him like he begged the “brothers” to vote for Kamala, that didnt work out too well
El-Sayed is the natural successor to Obama. Two of a kind. Jihad disguised as Socialism.
Exactly.
This guy is unreal. One of the brothers (sarcasm)
