The Democratic Party is making a strong push tonight at a rally for Kamala Harris-Tim Walz in Michigan, where hometown son Eminem will introduce former President Barack Obama at a campaign event in Detroit, according to CNN.

The multiplatinum rapper is not slated to perform, but rumors claim he will greet Obama and briefly discuss the election race.

Eminem, who endorsed the Joe Biden-Kamala Harris ticket in 2020 with a campaign ad featuring his song "Lose Yourself," has previously angrily criticized the Republican candidate, former President Donald Trump, calling him a "racist," among other things, during a 2017 freestyle titled "The Storm" at the BET Awards.

Obama has stated that "Lose Yourself" was one of his favorite get-psyched tunes during his own presidential campaign in 2008.

According to the New York Times polling average, Harris and Trump are essentially even in five important battleground states, including Michigan, as the presidential election nears its end, with neither leading by more than a single point. The five states are: Pennsylvania, Michigan, Nevada, Wisconsin, and North Carolina.

However, the paper emphasizes that the advantages its polls are monitoring for candidates in the states are so small as to be meaningless: "The polls simply are not exact enough for a 0.2-point advantage to communicate any useful information. For all intents and purposes, the election is deadlocked; don't be saddened or comforted by whether your candidate is on the right or wrong side of that 0.2-point margin," it reads.

In North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Michigan, no candidate "leads" by more than two-tenths of a percentage point. Neither can possibly win the president without winning at least one of these states.
