Obama to campaign for Harris in Detroit later this month

Former President Barack Obama is slated to return to Michigan later this month to campaign for Vice President Kamala Harris as part of a swing-state tour, her campaign confirmed Saturday.

Obama is expected to visit Detroit to boost the Democratic ticket on Oct. 22 and encourage voters to cast ballots early, exactly two weeks out from Election Day.

Michigan communities are legally required to begin offering nine days of early, in-person voting on Oct. 26, but are allowed to open early voting centers before that date. In Detroit, early voting centers open on Oct. 19.

Obama returned to the campaign trail on Thursday with a stop in Pittsburgh, where he urged Black men to vote for Harris for president at a rally at the University of Pittsburgh and stopped by a campaign office to thank volunteers.
