Former President Obama will be campaigning in Nevada for Democratic candidates Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto and Gov. Steve Sisolak amid signs of a possible red wave in the state.
Obama will be campaigning for both incumbents who are locked in two competitive midterm elections on Nov. 1 in Las Vegas during a rally to encourage residents to vote early.
The former president is also expected to make several other campaign stops, including in Atlanta, Ga., on Oct. 28 and in Detroit, Mich., and Milwaukee on Oct. 29.
While President Biden has done some campaigning in states like Pennsylvania and Oregon, Obama’s travel suggests that the former president may be seen as a preferred Democratic surrogate over Biden, who is suffering from underwater approval ratings and has been blamed for economic turmoil.
The travel announcement to Nevada is notable given that the state’s Senate seat is seen as one of Republicans’ best pickup opportunities. A USA Today-Suffolk University poll last week showed Cortez Masto leading Republican challenger Adam Laxalt among likely voters 46 percent to 44 percent, respectively, though her lead falls within the survey’s margin of error.
Meanwhile, Sisolak is seeking to fend off a challenge from Trump-endorsed Republican Joe Lombardo. The USA Today-Suffolk University poll found Sisolak and Lombardo polling within the margin of error and receiving 43 percent and 44 percent support, respectively.
I’m sure he’ll hook up with some of Mooch’s buds there.
Obama campaigning will make it a Red Tsunami.
Notice Obama isn’t coming to Florida...he was ridiculed in Miami in 2020.
“What, you don’t like my communist revolution?”
Obama has a horrid record of campaigning success for other candidates. Did the GOP invite him in?
Obama is yesterday. Anyway, the Democrat problem isn’t really the people but their causes and they’re locked into those.
Might just be wishful thinking on my part, but I doubt that obama will garner many votes for his fellow ‘RATs. He’s yesterday’s news.
This just shows how much panic they are in....................
Must be Obama thinks they won’t be able to manufacture enough fraudulent ballots to keep Dems in power in Nevada.
Drjill .......I mean the kiss of death......was also on the campaign trail.
Latest Trafalgar poll (late Sept.) has Laxalt ahead of Cortez-by 4 pts.(47.1%-43.1%).
desperation and a gift to Laxalt & Lombardo
Obammy is pretty lazy, too funny
It’s grueling commuting by private jet between DC, Martha’s Vineyard, and Oahu.
Not a surprise.
Biden doesn’t run his administration.
Considering how many of Bammy’s people are there, the man-behind-the-curtain is simply defending his 3rd term.
Bonzo didn’t help anybody in 2020. That election was stolen.
Yep, his track record is pretty dismal in that area.
If only I could get hired to run his teleprompter
