Obama campaigns for Michigan Democrats El-Sayed and Benson in Detroit rally

Former President Barack Obama held a Detroit rally on October 24, 2026, campaigning for Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed and gubernatorial candidate Jocelyn Benson, ten days before the November 3 midterm elections. Obama criticized President Trump on tariffs, Iran policy, corruption, and White House renovations, and urged voters to flip control as a 'circuit breaker.' The rally was part of a day that also included a Cleveland stop.
