What to know

  • Obama will campaign in Cleveland on Oct. 24 for Senate candidate Sherrod Brown and gubernatorial nominee Amy Acton, then in Detroit the same day for Abdul El-Sayed and Jocelyn Benson.
  • The Ohio Senate race pits Brown against incumbent Republican Jon Husted for the seat once held by JD Vance, and is viewed as pivotal to Senate control.
  • The trip is part of a broader expansion of Obama's midterm involvement, with more campaign stops and ads planned in the closing weeks before Election Day.
  • Trump and Vance have also recently campaigned in Ohio, with Trump focusing on immigration while stumping for Husted.

“Please join me in supporting Sherrod Brown. He'll always fight for Ohio.”
