Former President Barack Obama pinned inflation and high prices on President Donald Trump and urged Democrats to get to the polls, especially for Senate hopeful Abdul El-Sayed, in a final push as early voting started in the state Saturday.
Obama, speaking from a high school in Detroit, told the 4,300 Democrats gathered in the crowded gymnasium that with the upcoming midterm election, they had one chance to put checks on Trump. While Obama has been stumping for multiple candidates, including a speech in Ohio earlier in the day, his speech Saturday night paid particular attention to El-Sayed and the tight Senate race against Republican Mike Rogers.
