Michigan is one of the most important swing states of the presidential election. Joe Biden won Michigan in 2020 by a little over 150,000 votes, and Kamala Harris is trying to rack up an even bigger win this year. She’s staged some huge rallies and campaign events in and around Detroit, and one of her biggest surrogates is Michigan’s Governor Gretchen “Big Gretch” Whitmer. I’ve wondered for months if Detroit’s favorite son would get involved in the election or show up at one of Kamala Harris’s rallies. Eminem waited until now. He’s going to speak at a Harris rally featuring Barack Obama as the headliner.

Eminem is used to being the headlining act, but he’ll be the opener at Kamala Harris’ campaign rally tonight in Detroit … where he’s set to introduce none other than former President Barack Obama.

CNN is reporting Eminem will be joining the campaign trail at an absolutely crucial time for the Harris campaign … with Election Day just two weeks away.

For those expecting Eminem to break out into song, don’t get your hopes up. Em is reportedly planning to welcome Obama to his city and share some thoughts on the presidential race.

Polls currently have Michigan neck-and-neck between Harris and Trump … so, it’s a big win for Team Harris to have one of the most influential voices in the state encouraging Michiganders to vote for Kamala. Of course, Eminem was notably raised in the Motor City.

Eminem has been a longtime supporter of Kamala Harris. On the heels of the 2020 election, the rapper endorsed the Biden-Harris ticket in a black-and-white campaign ad with Em’s famous “Lose Yourself” playing in the background.

Obama, a known lover of music, is also a big fan of Eminem … saying “Lose Yourself” was one of his main hype songs from his 2008 presidential campaign.

We have seen a ton of celebrities come out in support of Harris, but Eminem’s star power gives the Harris campaign a unique boost in a state it desperately needs to win the election.

If you’ve followed Eminem for any length of time, you know that he’s politically astute and he tends to dip into Democratic campaigns in the final weeks. Usually, Eminem doesn’t want to do rallies – he’ll authorize his music to be used in Dem campaigns, or he’ll donate to fundraisers or give interviews, but this feels pretty new – standing beside Obama and making the case for Kamala Harris. Eminem despises Donald Trump and the MAGA cult and he’ll do anything to ensure Trump’s loss.
