President Donald Trump attacked former President Barack Obama on Sunday after Obama criticized Trump and Republican candidates while campaigning for Democrats in Ohio and Michigan ahead of the November 3 midterm elections.

At rallies in Cleveland and Detroit, Obama accused Trump of corruption and criticized his approach to Iran and White House renovations. Campaigning in Michigan for Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed, Obama called the election a “circuit breaker” that could “rein in some of the foolishness” of Trump’s presidency and urged voters to bring accountability to the government. He also criticized Republicans for supporting Trump. In Ohio, Obama denounced Republican Vivek Ramaswamy, including over an attack advertisement, according to The Washington Post and Politico.

Trump responded on Truth Social by calling Obama “grossly incompetent” and disputing his record on Iran and past Democratic campaigns. He also attacked El-Sayed as a “Fake Doctor” and “Jihadist” while endorsing Republican Senate candidate Mike Rogers. Dawn reported that Rogers, Trump and their allies have sought to associate El-Sayed with the Muslim Brotherhood and have falsely branded him a jihadist.

The rallies came 10 days before elections that will determine control of a closely divided Congress. Trump has urged voters to treat the midterms as though he were on the ballot.
