DETROIT — Former President Barack Obama’s endorsement of Michigan Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed is getting a mixed reception among Black voters in Detroit, with some undecided voters saying the former president's backing isn't enough to win them over.
Fox News Digital spoke with more than a dozen Black voters in Detroit, most of whom said they plan to back El-Sayed in November, but several undecided voters said Obama's endorsement had not persuaded them to support the Democrat. The reactions come as Republican Senate nominee Mike Rogers seeks to win over disaffected Democrats, including Black voters in Detroit, a key constituency for the party in Michigan.
"Honestly, it's a turn-off just because I've seen too many candidates use him just to manipulate the Democratic vote," Mercedes, one undecided Black voter, told Fox News Digital of Obama's endorsement.
"No, not at all," Anthony, another undecided Black voter, told Fox News Digital when asked if Obama’s endorsement had swayed him toward El-Sayed. "What he's been able to do is from an image standpoint, as far as ‘hope,’ he drove the point there. But as far as really giving back to the community, minority owned businesses, and everyone across the board, I don't really think he really got there for me … he really hasn't swayed me one way or another."
Obama and El-Sayed are preparing to campaign together in Michigan despite the Democratic Senate nominee's history of sharply criticizing the former president, a political reversal that also drew mixed reactions from Black Detroit voters interviewed by Fox News Digital.
Juanita, another Black voter who has yet to commit to El-Sayed, told Fox News Digital that, "I don't want to be pushed to vote for him because somebody else is backing him."

It's the one where they sort of break the fourth wall. Bluto is pounding the daylights out of poor Popeye. He reaches for a can of spinach, but no can is there, because Bluto has knocked it out of his pocket.
The POV changes, and we're looking at a little boy, seated in the theater, watching the movie. He's alarmed by Popeye's predicament. Apparently he stopped in the theater after going to the store for his mother. He looks down next to him; there's a grocery bag, and at the top of the bag's contents is... a can of spinach! You can tell it's spinach because that's the only word on the can: SPINACH.
The boy stands up, yells "I'll help you Popeye!" He hurls the canned spinach toward the screen.
Our POV jumps back into the scene. Popeye catches the can, squeezes it with one mighty fist, pops it open, and guzzles down the lifesaving leafy mass. The Popeye theme plays. And Popeye jumps up, and starts using Bluto as a punching bag. Then he starts kicking him around like a soccer ball, and dribbling him like a basketball.
The MSM is the little boy in the audience. Obama is Popeye, and Bluto is Trump.
If one tends to rounding fractions up, Bronco is a guilty white man.
Blacks are angry at Obama for not being that great black hope they wanted change.
Obama is going flaccid.
I sure wouldn’t want Obama standing up for me. People might get the wrong idea.
Your scenario is cute. But I believe this time it will turn out differently. We, the great silent, suffering conservative majority, see what is going on. We will act. We will be the little boy; Trump will be Popeye; Obama and his crew will be Bluto.
We'll know after election day.
Black men woke up to the idea that the Dems not only did nothing for them, but ultimately want them replaced.
Which is why white slavery would never work. ;-)
More people need to shove it in Obama's face that it was he that started the parabolic rise is government debt; spending the USA from $9t to $20t, without dealing with a war. He wanted to weaken America and boy he did. Biden and Trump have continued this rate of increase and together they doubled it again. It's now at $40t and we are at our knees.
Told ya. Been saying it for weeks. I’m originally from Detroit. Bros are fed up with Muslims. Homey don’t play dat.
Same thing happening in Michigan.
Boobamba and his Soviet brutalist designed Library have lost whatever teleprompter mojo they ever had.
Last evening, we watched the movie Exodus on Tubi
A major character was an Israeli leaded named Barack. Perhaps, there was more than one Israeli character named Barack
Then there is Hussein, the middle name. That is Muslim to the days of Mohammad.
I concluded that Barack Hussein Obama was since birth just a joke
Check
And he'll still get a substantial number of blacks who vote (D) regardless.
The black community isn't into Islamic commies or... the O-man looking down on them.
