Obama Is Set to Campaign with Democrats in Ohio and Michigan as He Ramps up Midterm Efforts

Obama is stepping up his midterm push with rallies for Democratic Senate candidates as close races could decide which party controls the chamber.

  • On Saturday, former President Barack Obama will campaign in Cleveland for Ohio Democratic candidates Amy Acton, running for governor, and Sherrod Brown, seeking U.S. Senate.
  • President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance visited Ohio in recent weeks to campaign for Republican candidates Jon Husted and Vivek Ramaswamy, intensifying partisan competition.
  • Obama will subsequently travel to Detroit for a rally supporting Abdul El-Sayed, a former public health official working to unite Michigan's Democratic base after a divisive primary.
  • El-Sayed told reporters earlier this month that Obama was "foundational" to his ability to run, despite previously criticizing the former president for unfulfilled campaign promises.
  • With less than two weeks until Nov. 3, these highly competitive races in Ohio and Michigan will determine control of the U.S. Senate in the midterm elections.
