Former President Obama to hit midterms campaign trail on behalf of fellow Democrats

Former President Obama is returning to the campaign trail.

The former president will headline a fundraiser in New York City Thursday for the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, which is the Senate Democrats' re-election arm. Next week, Obama heads to the West Coast to serve as the main attraction at a fundraiser for the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, which is the House Democrats' re-election arm.

However, the former president will be doing more than fundraising.

Obama will also publicly appear with Democratic congressional and gubernatorial candidates, as well as his party’s nominees in some secretary of state races in key general election battlegrounds, a source with knowledge of the former president’s political plans confirmed to Fox News.
