The former president has rapped a verse of Eminem\u2019s \u2018Lose Yourself\u2019 at a rally in Detroit, Michigan<\/strong><\/p>\n

Former US President Barack Obama has rapped a verse of Eminem\u2019s \u2018Lose Yourself\u2019 at a campaign rally for Vice President Kamala Harris in the swing state of Michigan.<\/p>\n

Rapper Eminem gave Harris his endorsement and introduced Obama onto the stage, speaking at the event in his hometown of Detroit on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou know, I have done a lot of rallies so I don\u2019t usually get nervous, but I was feeling some kind of way following Eminem,\u201d<\/em> the former president told rallygoers after clasping hands and hugging the musician.<\/p>\n

\u201cI notice\u2026 my palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy,\u201d<\/em> Obama said, reciting the lyrics of Eminem\u2019s \u2018Lose Yourself\u2019 to the laughter and cheers of the crowd. \u201cVomit on my sweater already, mom\u2019s spaghetti. I\u2019m nervous, but on the surface I look calm n\u2019 ready to drop bombs, but I keep on forgetting,\u201d<\/em> the former president said, before waiting for the crowd to quiet down. \u201cI love me some Eminem,\u201d<\/em> he added.<\/p>\n

Eminem, a frequent critic of Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, is the latest musician to endorse Democratic candidate Harris, following stars such as Billie Eilish, Lizzo, and Taylor Swift.<\/p>\n

Speaking at a rally in Detroit last week, Lizzo promised that if Harris wins the election, \u201cthe whole country will be like Detroit.\u201d<\/em>\u00a0\u201cProud\u201d<\/em> and \u201cresilient like Detroit,\u201d<\/em> she added.<\/p>\n

Last week, Trump warned that if Harris wins, the US could \u201cend up being like Detroit\u201d<\/em> \u2013 \u201cYou\u2019re going to have a mess on your hands,\u201d<\/em> he said at the Detroit Economic Club.<\/p>\n

Once the home and center of the US automotive industry, Detroit was hit hard by both the 1973 oil crisis and the shift of manufacturing\u00a0out of the country in the following decades, becoming the poster child of US deindustrialization.<\/p>\n

Around 36% of the city\u2019s residents fall below the poverty line, far above the national average, according to last year\u2019s Detroit Economic Indicators Report. The city also ranked second of all US cities in terms of violent crime, according to FBI statistics for 2019.<\/p>\n

Trump narrowly leads Harris in Michigan, as well as all other swing states according to RCP polling averages as of Tuesday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
