It was very warm, very inviting, and I know that he knows the critical role that Michigan is going to play,\u201d El-Sayed told NBC\u2019s \u201cMeet the Press.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Asked if he would like to see Obama come to Michigan to drum up support for Democrats before the\u00a0midterm elections\u00a0in November, El-Sayed said he \u201creally\u201d hoped so and that Obama \u201cknows a lot about winning Michigan\u201d after carrying the state in the 2008 and 2012 presidential races.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An Obama spokesperson confirmed the call.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The discussion came the same day that a group of Michigan nominees and other notable national Democrats tried to present a united front at a rally in Detroit. The crowd cheered loudest for El-Sayed, a former public health official who last week\u00a0narrowly beat\u00a0establishment-backed U.S. Rep. Haley Stevens in a contentious and closely watched primary. A Democratic victory in the fall is crucial to the party\u2019s chances of regaining a Senate majority.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Democratic Sen. Gary Peters is not\u00a0seeking reelection\u00a0in the perennial swing state, which Republican\u00a0Donald Trump\u00a0won in 2016 and 2024, while Democrat\u00a0Joe Biden\u00a0carried in 2020.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">El-Sayed faces Republican Mike Rogers, a former congressman who narrowly lost the Senate race to Democrat Elissa Slotkin in 2024 and has tried to capitalize on lingering tensions within the Democratic Party.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rogers has released a video message attempting to appeal to Democrats who feel their party may be moving too far to the left with El-Sayed. \u201cYou have a home with us,\u201d Rogers says in the video.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During an interview Sunday with CNN\u2019s \u201cState of the Union,\u201d El-Sayed acknowledged that \u201cwe aired our differences\u201d in the heated primary. But he said the internal divisions are \u201cso much smaller than the similarities that we share.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cYou\u2019re seeing folks come together,\u201d El-Sayed said, before adding of moderate Democrats, \u201cWe might see the world differently. But we also recognize the responsibility to come together.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"flex flex-col layout-gap-md\">\n<div class=\"not-prose empty:contents [:has(*[data-empty=true])]:hidden clear-both\">\n<div class=\"typography-level-4 mt-4 font-graphik-compact [&amp;_*_a]:hover:underline [&amp;_*_a]:text-accent\" data-cy=\"subscriptionPlea\"><span class=\"description-parser contents\" data-cy=\"description\"><em><strong>Fortune Daily<\/strong><\/em> breaks the traditional barrier between audience and newsroom.
