The former president will make stops in Atlanta, Detroit and Milwaukee later this month, which Democrats hope will boost their midterm odds in some exceedingly close races.
His three stops are in states with some of the tightest midterm races, such as the Sen. Raphael Warnock -Herschel Walker Senate contest in Georgia and governor elections in Michigan and Wisconsin where polls show Democratic incumbents neck and neck with Trump-backed challengers.Obama was similarly a rare sight during the 2020 campaign, not appearing at an event for then-Democratic nominee Joe Biden until October 21.
His most recent rallywere a year ago for Democratic gubernatorial candidates in Virginia and New Jersey, but both races brought disappointing outcomes for Democrats—Virginia Democratic nominee and former governor Terry McAuliffe lost in an upset to Glenn Youngkin , and New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy performed well below expectations, narrowly beating Republican challenger Jack Ciattarelli.
