前总统奥巴马定于本月晚些时候在密歇根州为参议院候选人阿卜杜勒·埃尔-赛义德举行集会，后者正在与共和党人迈克·罗杰斯进行一场必胜的摇摆州竞选。
Former President Obama is set to rally later this month in Michigan for Senate hopeful Abdul El-Sayed, who’s in a must-win battleground race against Republican Mike Rogers.
“我很荣幸也很自豪地宣布，奥巴马总统@BarackObama将于10月24日星期六在底特律加入我们的竞选行程，”埃尔-赛义德在社交平台X上宣布。
“It is my honor and privilege to announce that President @BarackObama is joining us on the trail in Detroit on Saturday, October 24,” El-Sayed announced on the social platform X. Obama’s visit will kick off the first day of in-person early voting in the Great Lakes State, as the former president gets more involved in the midterms.
奥巴马的访问将拉开五大湖州现场提前投票第一天的序幕，因为这位前总统更深入地介入中期选举。他还将与民主党州长候选人乔斯琳·本森一起竞选。
He will also campaign alongside Democratic gubernatorial candidate Jocelyn Benson.
今年早些时候，这位前总统曾在德克萨斯州与民主党参议院候选人詹姆斯·塔拉里科一起竞选，今年夏天他还出现在爱荷华州参议院候选人乔什·图雷克的竞选广告中。美联社报道称，将宣布更多奥巴马的竞选行程。
The former president campaigned in Texas with Democratic Senate candidate James Talarico earlier this year, and he appeared in a campaign ad with Iowa Senate candidate Josh Turek this summer. The Associated Press reported that more Obama campaign stops are to be announced.
前副总统卡玛拉·哈里斯上个月也在密歇根州为埃尔-赛义德助选，强调该席位对民主党在关键问题上的重要性。
Former Vice President Kamala Harris was also in Michigan last month to boost El-Sayed, stressing the stakes of the seat for Democrats on key issues.
埃尔-赛义德是一名医生，曾任底特律和韦恩县卫生部门负责人，他面对的是获得特朗普总统背书的罗杰斯，后者是前众议员。
库克政治报告认为这场竞选势均力敌，而决策台总部（DDHQ）则将其列为“倾向”民主党。
El-Sayed, a doctor and former head of health departments in Detroit and Wayne County, faces President Trump-endorsed Rogers, a former congressman, in a race that Cook Political Report considers a toss-up and Decision Desk HQ (DDHQ) puts under the “lean” Democratic label.
罗杰斯在2024年参议院选举中以微弱劣势输给了参议员埃莉萨·斯洛特金（密歇根州民主党人），当时特朗普赢得了该州并击败了哈里斯，现在他正争取即将退休的参议员加里·彼得斯（密歇根州民主党人）的席位。
Rogers narrowly lost the 2024 Senate election to Sen. Elissa Slotkin (D-Mich.), as Trump flipped the state and defeated Harris, and he is now vying for retiring Sen. Gary Peters’s (D-Mich.) seat.
赢得该席位可能对民主党翻转参议院的希望至关重要，他们需要净增四个席位才能控制参议院。
Winning the seat could be pivotal to Democrats’ hopes of flipping the Senate, where they need to net four seats to take control.
DDHQ目前预测民主党赢得参议院的概率为56%，而赢得众议院的概率为76%。
DDHQ now forecasts that Democrats have a narrow, 56 percent probability of winning the upper chamber, compared with a 76 percent chance of winning the House.
