Former President Barack Obama struggled to control a Michigan crowd after a heckler interrupted his campaign speech in support of Democrat Gov. Gretchen Whitmer on Saturday.
Obama traveled to Michigan as part of a last-minute effort to rally his base around vulnerable Democrat candidates across the country.
It is unclear from the video of Obama’s speech what the heckler said, but it was enough to get the former president’s attention.
“Come on,” Obama complained as he paused his speech for more than two minutes to address the heckler.

“But this is what I mean. This is what I mean. I mean we’re having a conversation,” Obama said as the crowd attempted to drown out the heckler by chanting “Obama” repeatedly.
