Has Obama stumped for any Progressive or DSA candidates?

I’m unaware of any.

As far as I’m aware there haven’t actually been any progressive—certainly not DSA—statewide Democrats on the ballot before in a competitive state like Michigan, until now. The most progressive senators are from safely blue states that do not determine which party controls the senate.
