Democratic Representative and likely U.S. Senate nominee Elissa Slotkin of Michigan will not be in attendance at President Joe Biden’s rally Friday in Detroit.

Her absence will be alongside those of Democratic Michigan Sen. Gary Peters and Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, who is currently carrying out a book tour, Politico reported. This news comes the day after Biden’s gaffe-filled speech following the conclusion of NATO’s 75th Anniversary Summit had further fueled concerns that he is unfit for office.
