Overview
- Obama disclosed Friday that his office has raised $13.6 million for Democratic party committees this cycle, including $3.6 million from a recent DSCC fireside chat.
- The Democratic National Committee placed a six-figure digital ad buy that features Obama urging Democrats to get involved and to turn out to vote.
- Obama has rolled out endorsement videos and ads for multiple Senate and gubernatorial candidates and is scheduled to campaign in Michigan for Senate nominee Abdul El‑Sayed.
- At the DSCC event Obama warned donors the map is 'on the razor's edge' and cautioned that narrow leads in tossup states could still flip against Democrats.
- Party strategists say Obama’s high-profile role is meant to boost turnout and counter heavy Republican outside spending, with the outcome likely to hinge on late ad buys, fundraising and voter turnout.
