Obama seeks to shore up Abdul El-Sayed with Black voters at Michigan rally
The former president spoke alongside the Democratic Senate nominee in Detroit as the contest could come down to the city’s large Black electorate.
What the coverage shows
Both outlets center Barack Obama’s rally with Michigan Democratic Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed and the importance of Black voters in the race. NBC News frames the event as an effort to shore up support in Detroit and says the contest could come down to the city’s substantial Black vote. Fox News similarly highlights concerns over Black voter support, and its extract also mentions discussion on Fox & Friends Weekend, which appears only in Fox’s coverage.
