Eminem will introduce former President Barack Obama at a Kamala Harris rally in Detroit tonight, according to CNN. 

The rapper, who has been a vocal critic of Harris’ opponent in the 2024 presidential race, is expected to speak at the event but will not perform. The rally aims to energize voters ahead of the November 5 election.

The event coincides with the upcoming "When We Vote We Win" series, headlined by Bruce Springsteen, which kicks off in Atlanta on October 24, with a second event in Philadelphia on October 28. More events will be announced soon, as noted by Rolling Stone. Springsteen also endorsed Kamala Harris earlier this month in a video. Eminem has previously shown support for the Democratic party, backing Joe Biden and Kamala Harris in the 2020 election.

The 2024 U.S. elections are just weeks away, with voting set for Tuesday, November 5. Citizens are encouraged to make their voting plans, as highlighted by Pitchfork and other outlets.

Eminem’s involvement highlights his ongoing political engagement, which has included criticism of former President Donald Trump. The rapper's political stance has been well-publicized, as seen in his previous performances and freestyles directed at Trump.
