Obama to Campaign in Detroit With 2 Michigan Democrats 10 Days Before Election
3 articles · Updated · POLITICO · Oct 5
Summary
Oct. 24 will bring Barack Obama to Detroit to campaign with Michigan Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed and gubernatorial nominee Jocelyn Benson, just ahead of the state's early voting period.
The stop gives Democrats a high-profile boost as they defend two major open offices: El-Sayed is running to replace retiring Sen. Gary Peters, while Benson is seeking the governor's office.
Republicans Mike Rogers and John James are the respective opponents in races that will be decided 10 days after Obama's appearance, on Election Day.
Obama has made only a few campaign appearances this year, including a Texas stop and an Iowa ad, and is also due to headline a Washington-area DSCC fundraiser on Wednesday.
