On Tuesday (October 22), Vice President Kamala Harris‘ campaign hosted a rally in Detroit, Michigan, where native rapper Eminem came out, gave a speech, and introduced former President Barack Obama — who not only rapped along to his song “Lose Yourself,” but he also compared former President and Republican nominee Donald Trump to a senile grandpa.
After taking the stage and offering a brief speech at VP Kamala Harris’ rally in his hometown of Detroit, Eminem proceeded to get the crowd hype as he introduced Barack Obama to the stage. As Eminem left, Obama took the stage with Em’s song “Lose Yourself” playing aloud in the venue. Once Obama reached the podium, Em walked over and the two greeted each other and hugged one another.
Beginning his speech, former President Barack Obama greeted the voters in Detroit and shared that he doesn’t often get nervous at rallies, being that he’s been to a lot of them. However, he said he was “feeling some kind of way following Eminem.”
He then proceeded to start rapping a capella the lyrics of Eminem’s “Lose Yourself.” Later in his speech, Barack Obama not only continuously praised Kamala Harris and her running mate, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, but he also slammed an “old” and “loony” Donald Trump and even compared him to a senile grandpa.
Obama said, “There’s also the question about his competence… Have you seen Mr. Trump lately? He’ll give two-and-a-half-hour speeches, just a word salad. You don’t know what that heck he’s saying.” Obama continued to mention the rally where Trump was swaying to music for over 40 minutes instead of speaking to his constituents and sharing his policies and presidential plans. Obama shared other questionable comments and moments from Trump lately.
He then said, “Here’s the point, Detroit, if your grandpa was acting like this, you’d be worried. You’d call up your sister or brother or your cousin, and be like, ‘Let me holla at you. Have you noticed Grandpa? He’s acting a little funny.’”
Obama added, “This is somebody who wants unchecked power. We do not need to see what an older, loonier Donald Trump looks like no guardrails. America is ready to turn the page. We’re ready for a better story. Michigan, we are ready for a President Kamala Harris. And the good news is, Kamala Harris is ready for the job.”
