Nothing convinces middle and lower class people who can’t afford homes or groceries to support you like having millionaires and billionaires fly in on their private jets to lecture you about “democracy.” 

On Tuesday, Harris got the endorsement of rapper and Detroit icon Eminem at a rally in the city. Also attending was former president Barack Obama, a superstar in the Democratic Party who rapped the opening segments of Eminem’s famous hit “Lose Yourself” to cheers from the crowd.

 

Duncan said celebrities would be used more by campaigns in the final two weeks to tap into a localized “sense of identity,” with appearances becoming “more targeted” to specific cities.

Popstar Lizzo joined Harris last weekend for an event to mark the first day of early voting in the “About Damn Time” singer’s home city of Detroit, while R&B star Usher appeared with the vice president in Atlanta, where he launched his career.

 

Democrats hope that the potent presence of Obama, America’s first Black US president, and his popular wife, former first lady Michelle Obama, will shore up support among African American voters, particularly men, in key cities.

 

The former president is also set to hold multiple events with rocker Bruce Springsteen in the coming days, with Harris joining them in Atlanta on Thursday, her campaign said.

 

Superstar Taylor Swift endorsed Harris minutes after her first and only debate against Trump, in early September, timing which Duncan called “very strategic… to have the most impact.”
