Former President Barack Obama is increasing his involvement in the midterm elections. He will appear at a rally alongside Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed, as well as other top Democratic candidates, including Jocelyn Benson. The event is scheduled for October 24.
Further campaign stops and advertisements are expected in the coming weeks, although details are limited. Obama's support is notable, given the divisions within the party that were exposed during the Democratic primary.
