Former President Barack Obama plans to campaign with Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed at a Detroit rally on Oct. 24. The appearance would give El-Sayed high-profile support after a divisive Democratic primary, as he faces Republican Mike Rogers.
Obama is scheduled to appear with El-Sayed at an Oct. 24 Detroit rally that will also include other Michigan Democratic candidates. The Associated Press reported that Obama plans more campaign stops and advertisements during the closing weeks before the midterms. The article says the rally is intended to help El-Sayed consolidate support after defeating Rep. Haley Stevens in the Democratic primary.
The story describes the primary as a test of the party’s ideological direction and notes that El-Sayed won by less than a percentage point. It also reports that Stevens did better in Wayne County, where she received about 51% of the primary vote to El-Sayed’s 45%, and outlines other Michigan races and upcoming debates.
