Former President Barack Obama may not be heading back into political office, but he is more than willing to hit the campaign trail yet again. On October 28, the former President will return to the state of Georgia to support Raphael Warnock as he looks to keep his seat in the U.S. Senate. He will also support Stacey Abrams as she aims to unseat Georgia Governor Brian Kemp. One day later, he will travel to Michigan and Wisconsin in support of Tony Evers, Mandela Barnes and Gretchen Whitmer.
“Given the high stakes of this year’s midterm elections, President Obama wants to do his part to help Democrats win next month,” a statement from former President Barack Obama reads.
“He looks forward to stumping for candidates up and down the ballot, especially in races and states that will have consequences for the administration of 2024 elections.”
Former President Barack Obama and his wife, Michelle Obama, were recently spotted at the voting booths in Chicago, Illinois. As Election Day nears, the former President and former First Lady encourage others to cast their ballots as well.
“It’s a reminder that democracy is fragile, that you have to tend to it, you have to fight for it,” he said during a recent interview with Pod Save America.
“And this midterm election I think is going to be a moment in which, you know, that battle has to be joined and that means people have to turn out.”
