Obama, Eminem Rally for Harris in Detroit

A star-studded rally in Detroit featuring Eminem and former President Barack Obama aimed to galvanize support for Vice President Kamala Harris ahead of the upcoming election. Eminem encouraged the crowd of over 13,000 to vote, emphasizing the crucial role of their voices, while Obama highlighted the tight race in Michigan and urged attendees not to be complacent. Both leaders criticized Donald Trump's recent remarks and his attempts to sway Black voters, with Obama stating that it’s time to stop giving Trump the benefit of the doubt regarding his past claims. The rally occurred during early voting, with Detroit voters having returned a significant portion of their absentee ballots. In contrast, Trump held a separate rally, asserting his commitment to the auto industry and downplaying the impact of Obama's appearance. The election is expected to be closely contested, making Michigan a critical battleground state.
