President Obama to Join Abdul El-Sayed on the Campaign Trail

MICHIGAN –  On October 24th, President Barack Obama will campaign with Dr. Abdul El-Sayed, Secretary Jocelyn Benson, and other Democrats in Michigan. 

“I cannot wait to welcome former President Barack Obama back to Michigan,” said Abdul. “As a champion for healthcare access and a historical trailblazer of our time, President Obama was one of the first politicians who inspired me to believe that there was a place in politics for people like me. He knows what it means to deliver for Michiganders – that’s why he won our state twice. His support is critical as we fight to put Michigan families first by bringing down costs and ending Trump’s chaos in Washington.” 

AP: Obama is to appear with El-Sayed in Detroit as the ex-president gets more involved in the midterms

• President Barack Obama will campaign alongside Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed in Detroit later this month.
• Obama is getting significantly more involved in the midterm elections, with additional campaign stops and advertisements expected to come in the closing weeks.
• Obama will appear with El-Sayed at an Oct. 24 rally that will also feature other top Democratic candidates in Michigan.
• The Oct. 24 rally with Obama, the first Black president, could give El-Sayed a boost on the first day of Michigan’s required early in-person voting period.
• The open Senate seat is expected to be among a handful that will decide which party controls the majority next year.
