Former President Barack Obama will likely campaign for Abdul El-Sayed, the far-left Democrat who just won Michigan's U.S. Senate primary.

The two spoke after the primary, and El-Sayed publicly said he hopes Obama will campaign for him. Michigan could determine control of the Senate, and Obama remains the most popular Democrat.

El-Sayed won despite performing poorly among black primary voters. His coalition skewed younger, whiter, college-educated and progressive. In Detroit, Michigan's largest majority-black city, El-Sayed's opponent won more than 60 percent of the Democrat Senate vote. That may work in a Democrat primary. But will it work in November?

During the 2024 presidential campaign, Obama visited a Kamala Harris campaign office in Pittsburgh and said he wanted to "speak some truths." He complained that enthusiasm for Harris was weaker than when he ran and said the problem "seems to be more pronounced with the brothers."

Obama said: "You're coming up with all kinds of reasons and excuses. I've got a problem with that," he said, suggesting some Black men "just aren't feeling the idea of having a woman as president."

Apparently, some of "the brothers" remained unpersuaded. Pew Research Center's validated-voter........
