Kamala Harris returns to Michigan to campaign for Abdul El-Sayed for Senate

Former VP, who lost state to Trump in 2024 elections, is lending her popularity to unite fractured party

Kamala Harris returned to Michigan on Tuesday to campaign for Abdul El-Sayed, lending her popularity among Black voters to a progressive Senate nominee still working to unite a party fractured by a bruising primary – and the former vice-president’s loss to Donald Trump in the state.

Appearing with El-Sayed at a Detroit birth center, Harris used a roundtable on Black maternal health to frame that November’s contest against the Republican Mike Rogers as a fight over women’s access to care.
