前美国总统奥巴马将于10月24日在底特律举行集会，支持民主党参议院候选人阿卜杜尔·埃尔-赛义德1。这一日期恰逢密歇根州提前投票首日，距离选举日还有10天1。埃尔-赛义德是一名进步派医生1，在初选中以不足1个百分点的优势击败国会议员黑利·史蒂文斯1。他主张全民医保，拒绝接受企业政治行动委员会资金1。
这次奥巴马的出席代表了建制派对这位进步派候选人的重要背书。埃尔-赛义德因反对美国对以色列的军事援助、将以色列在加沙的行为描述为种族灭绝而备受关注1。在初选中，美国以色列公共事务委员会（AIPAC）及其盟友花费创纪录的3000万美元试图阻止他当选，其中反对埃尔-赛义德的广告支出是其竞选方的近9倍1。根据9月末马里斯特民调，埃尔-赛义德以51%对44%的优势领先共和党对手迈克·罗杰斯1。奥巴马目前已为大约24名民主党州长和参议院候选人录制广告1。
Former U.S. President Barack Obama will hold a rally in Detroit on October 24 to support Abdul El-Sayed, the Democratic nominee for Michigan's U.S. Senate seat 1. The event coincides with the first day of early voting in Michigan, occurring ten days before Election Day 1.
El-Sayed, a progressive physician, narrowly won the Democratic primary by less than one percentage point over moderate congresswoman Haley Stevens 1. He has secured endorsements from Senator Bernie Sanders and Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez 1. His candidacy has drawn unprecedented opposition spending, with AIPAC and allied groups spending a record $30 million to block his nomination 1, while advertising supporting Stevens outspent El-Sayed's campaign by nearly nine to one 1.
Obama's appearance represents a significant establishment endorsement of a candidate whose positions diverge from traditional Democratic orthodoxy. El-Sayed supports Medicare for All and refuses corporate PAC funding 1. He opposes U.S. military aid to Israel and has characterized Israel's actions in Gaza as genocide 1. According to a late-September Marist poll, El-Sayed leads Republican opponent Mike Rogers 51 percent to 44 percent 1. Obama has already recorded campaign advertisements for approximately 24 Democratic gubernatorial and Senate candidates 1.
