“The rally is likely to help the campaign of Vice President Kamala Harris, the Democratic presidential nominee, in a closely contested state. Obama is one of the party’s best-known figures and gave a speech boosting Harris’ candidacy at the national convention in August,” the AP reported.

Obama will join Harris for a get-out-the-vote event somewhere in Michigan on Oct. 26, according to a senior Harris campaign official who requested anonymity to discuss the event. Oct. 26 is a key date in Michigan because it marks the opening day of statewide early in-person voting.

The former First Lady's stop in Michigan would come less than a week after her husband, former President Barack Obama, plans to visit the state.

Former President Barack Obama will travel to Detroit on Tuesday, Oct 22. in support of Vice President Kamala Harris. Obama will rally voters and encourage them to vote early for Harris and Gov. Tim Walz.

Former President Barack Obama plans to campaign for Kamala Harris on Tuesday in Detroit. Though the details of his visit are not public, he is expected to encourage voters to cast their ballots for the vice president as the election nears.
