Musical Artists Rally for Trump, Harris in Final Countdown to Election Day
Famous celebrities are actively campaigning for both Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump as Election Day approaches.
At a rally in Duluth, Georgia, on Wednesday night, country music star Jason Aldean took the stage to support Trump. The local artist, who was seen with Trump earlier this year at the Republican National Convention, expressed his friendship with Trump.
“He’s a leader who stands back up when he’s knocked down and rallies people to ‘fight,’” Aldean stated, referencing a widely-discussed photo of Trump after a previous assassination attempt, where he raised his fist and urged, “Fight, fight, fight.”
“To me, that’s the kind of warrior we need in charge of this country,” Aldean added.
Aldean and his wife have had connections to Trump for years, and earlier this year he defended the ex-president on social media after Trump faced 34 counts of falsifying business records in a New York trial.
During his speech in Georgia, Aldean highlighted the state’s crucial role, urging the audience that “every vote matters, so make sure you participate.”
Meanwhile, in Michigan, another prominent musician was supporting Harris just a day earlier.
Detroit native and rapper Eminem spoke at a rally in his city on Tuesday night, introducing former President Barack Obama, who has been actively campaigning for Harris across key states prior to the election.
In his brief speech, Eminem urged attendees to vote and expressed his support for Harris before handing the mic over to Obama. The former president started his address by referencing Eminem’s famous song, “Lose Yourself.”
“I see my palms sweating, my knees weak, my arms heavy; I’ve got vomit on my sweater already, from mom’s spaghetti. I’m nervous, but I look calm and ready to drop bombs, but I keep forgetting,” Obama rapped, delighting the audience.
