COLDWATER, MI (WTVB) – National political heavyweights are descending on Michigan this weekend as the state’s high-stakes U.S. Senate race takes on a presidential feel ahead of the November 3 midterm elections.
Former President Barack Obama is scheduled to arrive in Detroit Saturday to campaign alongside Democratic nominee Abdul El-Sayed.
The progressive candidate will also get a boost on Sunday when Senator Bernie Sanders joins him for a rally at the DeVos Performance Hall in Grand Rapids as part of Sanders’ “Fighting Oligarchy” tour.
Meanwhile, Republicans are countering with their own top-tier star power to energize voters for nominee Mike Rogers.
President Donald Trump will headline a major rally in Detroit on Sunday to boost Rogers in a tight race that experts view as a critical battleground for control of the Senate.
The weekend blitz comes just as early in-person voting kicks off across Michigan on Saturday, adding immense urgency to the high-profile visits
