Barack Obama told a Detroit crowd on Saturday that Abdul El-Sayed was “fighting for change, real change, that will get money out of politics and put money in your pocket”, as he threw his weight behind the Democratic Senate candidate and the rest of the ticket on the first day of early voting in Michigan.

Obama said in front of thousands of onlookers at Cass technical high school in Detroit that El-Sayed would “finish the job we started with the Affordable Care Act and guarantee quality, affordable healthcare to every single American”.

    I didn’t catch the one in Michigan, but the one in Ohio was a goddamn banger. Spent the whole time ripping Trump a new fucking asshole, and it was absolutely hilarious!

      Waiting for Obama to show up in Florida to support Angie Nixon’s bid for US Senate now!

        The best time would have been for him to show up for Angie Nixon at UCF in Orlando this weekend, but he was busy in Ohio and Michigan.

        I don’t know if you saw it, but he fucking killed it, too. And, speaking strictly from a strategic perspective, I think he was doing a lot more good up north than he would’ve done for Angie Nixon in Florida.

        But they’re still is time left for him to come down here.

        I’m also a Florida voter, but I already mailed in my vote.
