Eminem Backs Kamala Harris: Long-Time Fans Share Mixed Reactions [Video]

At the Detroit rally for Vice President Kamala Harris, Eminem took the stage alongside former President Barack Obama to endorse Harris’ Democratic campaign for the 2024 election.

The rapper, a native of Detroit and a critic of Republican nominee Donald Trump, expressed his support for Harris as a candidate who would uphold the values of free speech and the need for a leadership that enforces such values.
