The star power of Kamala Harris' campaign just keeps getting bigger. If Taylor Swift, Bruce Springsteen, and even Beyoncé (through her music) wasn't enough, now she can add Eminem to the list. His appearance at a rally with former President Barack Obama is rare for the rapper, he's never done it before. It also shows that the Harris campaign is making not only an appeal to male voters, but also a focus on the state of Michigan (Eminem's home state). Will it work? Well, we'll see in just a few weeks.

Academy Award-winning director Spike Lee has long been lauded for his films exploring tough topics like race relations and other issues facing the Black community in the United States.
The two-time Oscar winner debuted when he wrote, produced and directed 1986's She's Gotta Have It. A few years later he earned a Best Screenplay Oscar nomination when he wrote, produced and directed the highly acclaimed Do The Right Thing. He won the 2019 Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay for BlacKkKlansman.
Despite his highly successful career in Hollywood, Lee is also well known for his love of the NBA's New York Knicks, where he can almost always be seen courtside. He also played a key role in helping boost the popularity of Michael Jordan and Nike's Air Jordan brand, in which Lee's self-portrayed character from his first film, Mars Blackmon, took a prominent role in a series of famous commercials exclaiming the key factor in Jordan's success has "gotta be the shoes."
