October 24, 2026; 8am: With 10 days left until the midterms, President Obama is hitting the campaign trail in two key battleground states, Ohio and Michigan. First, he will stump for Democrats in Ohio, where the closely watched Senate race between Sherrod Brown and incumbent senator Jon Husted is taking shape. He will also campaign for Democrats in the governor’s race between Amy Acton and Vivek Ramaswamy, a race at the center of controversy this week. Then, Obama will head to Michigan to energize voters for Jocelyn Benson in the governor’s race and Abdul El-Sayed in the Senate contest. MS NOW Chief Political Reporter, Chris Jansing, joins “The Weekend” from Detroit, and MS NOW Reporter Nnamdi Egwuonwu joins from Cleveland.
