Former President Obama and former First Lady Michelle Obama cast early votes Monday for the midterm elections, calling on others to vote this cycle.
“Michelle and I voted early today. Now it’s your turn,” Oama said. “Because every vote matters.”
Early voting opened Monday in several states, including the Obamas’ hometown of Illinois, as well as Georgia and Michigan.
Former President Obama will participate in rallies in Atlanta on Oct. 28 and in Michigan and Wisconsin on Oct. 29 to boost Democratic Senate and gubernatorial candidates in those battleground states.
Obama touted the Democrats’ accomplishments leading up to this election in a recent interview with the “Pod Save America” podcast, mentioning the Inflation Reduction Act and the gun control bill.
