2024 Michigan elections: Obama cuts ad for Slotkin, Sanders to stump for Harris

Former President Barack Obama has endorsed fellow Democrat and Michigan U.S. Senate candidate Elissa Slotkin in a new one-minute advertisement.

“Elissa is the kind of leader we need: tough, independent, and effective," Obama says in the ad for Slotkin, who is competing with Republican Mike Rogers to replace retiring U.S. Sen. Debbie Stabenow.

It’s among a trio of ads the former president filmed for Democratic candidates in key Senate campaigns.

Obama will also reportedly begin a swing-state “blitz” with presidential nominee Kamala Harris, starting next week in Pennsylvania. It's not immediately clear if that will include Michigan.
