Obama Is Set to Campaign with Democrats in Ohio and Michigan as He Ramps up Midterm Efforts
Obama is widening his midterm push as Democrats try to boost turnout in two battleground states that could decide control of the Senate.
- On Saturday, former President Barack Obama campaigned in Cleveland, Ohio, supporting Democratic candidates Amy Acton and Sherrod Brown while attacking President Donald Trump and Republican gubernatorial nominee Vivek Ramaswamy.
- The rally followed controversy over a $4 million campaign ad by Ramaswamy featuring Acton's estranged mother, which critics alleged exploited her childhood trauma to save his stumbling campaign.
- Obama criticized Ramaswamy as "thirsty" for attention and quipped that Trump seems "very focused on home renovation" at the White House, claiming the administration failed on lowering consumer costs.
- Acton denounced the ad, stating, "Mr. Ramaswamy, you are not just out of touch, you are out for yourself and you are a danger to my state." The event aims to boost Democratic turnout in Ohio's toss-up races.
- Obama travels to Michigan later Saturday night for candidate Abdul El-Sayed, as Democrats seek to secure control of Congress in the November 3 midterm elections. Midwestern battlegrounds remain critical for determining the balance of power.
