Former President Barack Obama plans to campaign with Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed at a Detroit rally on Oct. 24, as Obama steps up his midterm activity. The event comes after El-Sayed’s closely contested Democratic primary and as he faces Republican Mike Rogers.
Obama is scheduled to appear with El-Sayed at an Oct. 24 Detroit rally that will also feature other Michigan Democratic candidates. The article says Obama plans additional campaign stops and advertisements in the closing weeks of the midterms, and taped ads for Democratic candidates last week.
El-Sayed defeated Rep. Haley Stevens in an August primary by less than a percentage point and is working to consolidate support ahead of the race against Rogers. The article describes the Senate seat as one of several expected to help determine control of the Senate, and says the Detroit rally falls on the first day of Michigan’s required early in-person voting period.

30 OUTLETSOutlets report that Barack Obama plans to campaign with Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed at a Detroit rally. El-Sayed announced the appearance as Obama steps up his midterm activity. Left-leaning outlets stress that political differences can coexist with cooperation, including El-Sayed’s work with Slotkin and the view that his Obama alliance can coexist with past criticism. Center outlets mostly treat the appearance as campaign news and provide electoral context, while some also cover doubts about El-Sayed’s prospects or his past criticism of Obama. Right-leaning outlets often portray the appearance as a rescue effort and give prominent attention to criticism or allegations involving El-Sayed.
