Obama to Rally with El-Sayed in Detroit on October 24

Barack Obama will join Abdul El-Sayed at a rally in Detroit on October 24, coinciding with the start of early in-person voting in Michigan.
El-Sayed narrowly defeated Rep. Haley Stevens in the Democratic primary, which has become a national focal point for the party's direction.
Obama's involvement in the midterms is increasing, with plans for more campaign stops and advertisements in support of Democratic candidates.
The rally will also feature gubernatorial nominee Jocelyn Benson and is seen as a significant endorsement for El-Sayed's progressive campaign.
