President Obama will head west next week to campaign for two Democratic senators facing a tough reelection.

Obama will travel to Denver on Thursday to campaign for Colorado Sen. Michael Bennet, who was appointed to fill the seat vacated by Ken Salazar after Salazar was nominated by Obama to serve as Interior secretary.

Obama will then head to Las Vegas, where he’ll hold events Friday with Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid. Despite Reid’s leadership position in the Senate, the Nevada senator is facing increasingly difficult reelection prospects.
