The Associated Press reports, in stories carried by ABC News and TheGrio, that former President Barack Obama will campaign in Cleveland on Oct. 24 with Democratic Senate candidate Sherrod Brown and Democratic gubernatorial nominee Amy Acton. The Hill reports the same Cleveland date and candidates. Brown is seeking to unseat Republican Sen. Jon Husted in the seat formerly held by JD Vance. Acton faces Republican Vivek Ramaswamy in the race to succeed term-limited Republican Gov. Mike DeWine. The Ohio Senate and governor’s races are described as highly competitive, with heavy campaign spending. The coverage describes the trip as part of Obama’s wider outreach, and TheGrio reports he also travels to Detroit the same day.
