After Republican challenger Tudor Dixon more than held her own in the governor's debate, it seems Whitmer has gotten nervous and called for reinforcements.
The Detroit Free Press: Former President Obama to hold Detroit-area rally for Whitmer, other Democrats
Probably to get out the Detroit, Benton Harbor and Flint voters as that voting base has been rather less than enthusiastic about her.
That they have former President Obama coming to town may mean they don't quite believe the polls showing Whitmer leading the race.
Given the horrendous job Whitmer has done as governor, even her outspending Dixon (complete with lots of progressive money from California and 41% of her funding coming from out of state - so much so that her fundraising site includes a California Privacy Notice) may not be enough given her record.

If they are having Obama come in shows that they are terrified of Dixon. Thier internal polling must be showing that she is going to lose.
Little wonder, given her abysmal track record.
I eagerly look forward to the day when she is flung out of office.
Hey Aaron;
Yeah, the Donks called for reinforcements for Warnock(Senate) and Abrams(Governor) because polls shows them trailing their GOP opponents despite all the $$$ being spent, and a lot of it is "out of state" donations, especially for Abrams. So they are trotting out Obungler to stump for them to fire up the Base.
I noticed the first debate began with a question about abortion, something that is not at the top of the voters minds as far as order of importance facing our state.
For money, when the people tried to recall her, she raised money to fight that, and any money left over from that fight, she was allowed to keep and put into her campaign chest for the run for this governor battle, so they actually did her a favor.
I think that she should not be reelected, but the Republicans should have found a stronger candidate than the newcomer Tudor Dixon, who comes from my side of the state. Exactly who that might have been, I could not say, because the Republicans tend to all shoot themselves in the foot, which is often in their own mouths.
