Former Vice President Kamala Harris will campaign with Michigan's Democratic Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed in the state next week, focusing on Black maternal health and voter turnout in this crucial battleground for Senate control. This is their first public appearance together since her endorsement of El-Sayed following his primary victory. Republicans have criticized El-Sayed as a "radical" liberal candidate, making the race more challenging for Democrats who need to flip four Republican-held seats to secure Senate majority.

Story summary
Kamala Harris, former Vice President and now running for President again, plans to campaign with Abdul El-Sayed, the Democratic nominee for Senate in Michigan, on Tuesday. This visit is part of Democrats' efforts to rally support in a crucial battleground state where control of the Senate hangs in the balance. The pair will discuss Black maternal health at a roundtable event. Harris has previously spoken to El-Sayed since endorsing him after his primary victory but this marks their first joint public appearance. Republicans, facing challenges like inflation and an unpopular war, aim to maintain or expand their Senate majority against Democrats who seek to flip seats to take control.
