Former President Barack Obama will campaign in Detroit on Oct. 24 with Michigan Democratic Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed and gubernatorial nominee Jocelyn Benson, the state Democratic Party announced Monday.
The rally is scheduled for the first day of Michigan’s in-person early voting period and 10 days before Election Day. “It is my honor and privilege to announce that President @BarackObama is joining us on the trail in Detroit on Saturday, October 24,” El-Sayed wrote on social media.
El-Sayed, a physician and former Wayne County health director, narrowly defeated Rep. Haley Stevens in the Democratic primary in August. His campaign has emphasized Medicare for All, opposition to corporate political action committee money and criticism of U.S. military aid to Israel. He previously received support from Sen. Bernie Sanders and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, while former Vice President Kamala Harris campaigned with him in September.
El-Sayed is running against former Republican Rep. Mike Rogers for the seat being vacated by retiring Democratic Sen. Gary Peters. Rogers was also the Republican Senate nominee in 2024, when he lost to Elissa Slotkin. A late-September Marist poll cited by The Guardian showed El-Sayed leading Rogers among registered voters, 51% to 44%.
Obama’s Detroit appearance is part of his broader campaign activity for Democratic candidates ahead of the midterm elections.

WHAT THE EDITOR DID
The second model checked the writer's draft against the same sources and changed it before publication. Struck words were in the draft; underlined words are its corrections.
WHAT IT FLAGGED editor revise: The story is faithful after restoring the full sourced wording of El-Sayed’s quoted social-media announcement. - "“It is my honor and privilege to announce that President @BarackObama is joining us on the trail,” El-Sayed wrote on social media.": The quoted wording is supported by The Hill, but the story omits the sourced location and date within the quote; the sentence is acceptable materially, but the exact quote as presented is a shortened quote. More importantly, The Guardian source gives a different quoted post (“Get. Ready”), so this quote needs clear attribution to The Hill source or the full Hill-supported quote.
