美国总统唐纳德·特朗普一直在告诉选民，要把中期选举当作他本人在参选来看待，周六，他的一位民主党前任总统确实这么做了。

奥巴马于2009年至2017年特朗普开启首个任期前担任总统，仍是民主党最受欢迎的人物之一。民主党希望让他参与竞选能激发支持者的热情，助力一场势均力敌的参议院竞选，埃尔-赛义德将面对共和党人迈克·罗杰斯，后者是前联邦众议员。
Obama, president from 2009 until Trump began his first term in 2017, remains one of the most popular figures among Democrats. They hope that bringing him into the race can fire up their supporters for a tight US Senate race in which El-Sayed faces Republican Mike Rogers, a former US representative.

“我们从未见过一位总统在赤裸裸的捞取私利上如此出色，而且花的是你们的钱，”奥巴马说。“从未见过一位总统如此一心要出售恩惠……现在这个党似乎代表着腐败的政府、无能的政府，或者干脆没有政府。” 白宫未立即回应置评请求。
"We have never seen a president excel in straight-up grifting, on your dime, like this," Obama said. "Never seen a president so intent on selling favors like this ... Now the party seems to stand for corrupt government, or inept government, or no government." The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
