Barack Obama Looks Left

Michigan Democratic Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed is scheduled to campaign with former President Barack Obama on October 24 in Detroit. The event, timed for the start of Michigan's early voting period, follows a history of public criticisms made by El-Sayed regarding the Obama administration. Between 2012 and 2020, El-Sayed argued that Obama failed to deliver on promised 'hope and change,' criticized his records on civil liberties and deportations, and characterized the Affordable Care Act as a compromise favoring corporate interests. Despite these past critiques, El-Sayed is now collaborating with Obama to consolidate party support ahead of the general election.
