Barack Obama lost himself at Kamala Harris’ latest rally.

The former president, 63, surprised everyone when he rapped Eminem’s “Lose Yourself” on Tuesday night in front of Harris supporters at her rally in Detroit.

But here’s the kicker — Eminem was there to witness the whole thing!

GREENSBORO, N.C. – Former Hawaii Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard announced Tuesday that she’s “joining the Republican Party.” 

Gabbard, a former Democrat and independent, made the declaration during a North Carolina rally for former President Donald Trump, as the GOP nominee for president – her inspiration for making the party switch – stood nearby. 

“The Democrat Party has no home for people like us, but we do have a home in the Republican Party – where we are welcomed with open arms by President Trump and so many of you who love our country,” Gabbard said. 

“And it is because of my love for our country and specifically because of the leadership that President Trump has brought to transform the Republican Party and bring it back to the party of the people, and the party of peace, that I'm proud to stand here with you today, with President Trump, and announce that I'm joining the Republican Party,” she declared. 

Trump, 78, later noted that he wasn’t expecting Gabbard’s announcement. 

“Wow, that was a surprise,” the former president said, calling it a “great honor” to have influenced Gabbard to join the ranks of the GOP. 

GREENSBORO, N.C. – Former President Donald Trump announced Tuesday that his plan to make interest incurred on car loans fully tax deductible will only apply to vehicles manufactured in the US. 

“I don't want it to benefit other countries,” Trump said at a rally in Greensboro, N.C. 

“I want it to benefit us,” the Republican nominee added.

“So it's deductibility of interest is great, but only if the car is manufactured in the United States,” Trump pledged. “Is that a great idea?”

“Why the hell would we give them taxes if they manufacture the car in China or Japan, or lots of other places that stole our business over the years?” 

The Trump campaign accused President Biden of making a Freudian slip Tuesday when he told allies in New Hampshire: "We gotta lock him up."

“Joe Biden just admitted the truth: he and Kamala’s plan all along has been to politically persecute their opponent President Trump because they can’t beat him fair and square," Trump campaign National Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said in a statement.

"The Harris-Biden Admin is the real threat to democracy. We call on Kamala Harris to condemn Joe Biden’s disgraceful remark."

After making the statement, Biden later clarified, "Politically, lock him up — lock him out, that’s what we’ve got to do."

Chants of "lock him up" or "lock her up" have previously been heard at Trump rallies.

Vice President Kamala Harris defended President Biden over attacks about his age and mental acuity, insisting that he is a very accomplished commander-in-chief.

"Joe Biden is extremely accomplished, experienced and capable in every way," Harris argued to NBC News’ Hallie Jackson Tuesday when asked about her past defense of him.

"I have worked with Joe Biden...hours and hours and hours over these four years," Harris later added, citing his work to rally NATO. "I speak with not only with sincerity but with a real, first-hand account of watching him do this work."

When asked about his much-maligned debate performance against former President Donald Trump, Harris acknowledged that it was a "bad debate."

"You ask him if that's the only reason why," she replied when asked if his debate performance is why he dropped out.

Vice President Kamala Harris was coy about whether she would pardon former President Donald Trump if she prevails on Nov. 5.

"I'm not going to get him into those hypotheticals, I'm focused on the next 14 days," Harris told NBC News’ Hallie Jackson on Tuesday.

When pressed about whether such a move could help unify the country, Harris replied, "Let me tell you what will help us move on — I get elected president of the United States."

Despite the potential for her to win the presidency with a GOP-controlled Congress, Vice President Kamala Harris is adamant that she doesn't want to make concessions on abortion policy.

"I don’t think we should be making concessions when we’re talking about a fundamental freedom to make decisions about your own body," Harris told NBC News’ Hallie Jackson on Tuesday.

"A basic freedom has been taken from the women of America, the freedom to make decisions about their own body and that cannot be negotiable," she later added.

Harris declined to lay out a game plan for how she may try to nuke the filibuster in the Senate and wrangle through codification of precedents first set in Roe v. Wade.

Vice President Kamala Harris addressed why she has seemingly been reticent to tout the potentially historic nature of her becoming the first female president.

"I'm clearly a woman. I don't need to point that out to anyone," she told NBC's Hallie Jackson Tuesday.

Back in 2019, then-candidate Harris suggested that the "elephant in the room" is whether the American people could back a woman of color as president.

On Tuesday, she struck a different tone.

"Absolutely," Harris replied when asked if the country was ready for that.

She also refrained from citing misogyny as the reason for the growing gender gap between men and women, something that others such as former President Barack Obama groused about.

"I don't think of it that way," she contended when asked, noting that her rallies are rife with men and women alike.

The most important resource a candidate has is his or her time. Where they go, who they’re with, and what they say defines their sense of the race more than any spin their consultants offer.

There’s only one conclusion that can be drawn from where they were last week and where they plan to be this week: Kamala Harris is running scared.

With just weeks to go, a confident Democratic candidate would be reaching out to swing voters. She would know her base is already locked up, allowing her to focus full time on attracting the voters she needs to put the race to bed.

Retiring President Biden stunned listeners Tuesday by calling for his predecessor Donald Trump to be jailed — 14 days before the presidential election in which Trump is the Republican nominee.

"If I said this 5 years ago, you'd lock me up: we gotta lock him up," Biden, 81, said during a visit to a Democratic campaign office in New Hampshire.

After a four-second pause during which his audience enthusiastically applauded, Biden added: "politically... lock him out, that's what we've got to do."

Vice President Kamala Harris revealed Tuesday that her campaign has measures in place to counter a potential premature victory speech from former President Donald Trump.

"[I]'m very much grounded in the present in terms of the task at hand, and we will deal with election night and the days after as they come -- and we have the resources and the expertise and the focus on that as well," Harris said in a clip released from her sitdown with "NBC Nightly News."

When asked if she considers Trump, 78, disputing the election results a possibility, Harris responded, "Of course."

"This is a person, Donald Trump, who tried to undo a free and fair election, who still denies the will of the people, who incited a violent mob to attack the United States Capitol and 140 law enforcement officers were attacked, some who were killed," Harris said. "This is a serious matter."

The vice president's interview with "NBC Nightly News" will air in full at 6:30 pm ET.

(The Center Square) – Vice President Kamala Harris narrowly leads former President Donald Trump nationally in the latest polling, but it may not be enough.

Two weeks out from Election Day, Trump holds a lead over Harris in all seven of the closest swing states, according to Real Clear Politics, which averages recent polls in those states.

In 2020, Biden won Arizona with its 11 electoral votes, Nevada with its 6 electoral votes, Georgia with its 16 electoral votes, Pennsylvania with its 19 electoral votes, Michigan with its 15 electoral votes and Wisconsin with its 10 electoral votes.
