Joseph R. Biden’s campaign is telling voters to “lose yourself” in the voting booth on Election Day in support of Democrats.
The 2020 presidential hopeful turned to rapper Eminem in the waning days of the election season with the hit song now nearly two decades old.
“Look, if you had one shot or one opportunity to seize everything you ever wanted in one moment, would you capture it or just let it slip?” the rapper says in the black-and-white ad.
Pictures from across the nation and the campaign trail as voters are urged to “lose yourself in the music, the moment. You own it. You better never let it go. You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow — this opportunity comes once in a lifetime.”
Mr. Biden’s ad comes in conjunction with recent pronouncements of celebrity support ranging from entertainer Lady Gaga to Jon Bon Jovi.
“Hey, this is Lady Gaga, I’m voting for America, which means I’m voting for Joe Biden,” the singer said via a Twitter video over the weekend. “And if you live in Minnesota, Pennsylvania, Georgia, Michigan, Florida or Arizona, I encourage you to vote. And if you have a friend who lives there, tell them to vote.”

Lady Gaga’s message was mocked by critics due to her ensemble: a Hollywood stereotype of Mr. Trump’s voters.
The singer crushed a can of beer while standing next to a giant truck in camouflage clothes, shin guards and American flag sunglasses.
Mr. Trump brushed off Lady Gaga’s message while speaking to voters in Scranton on Monday.
“I could tell you plenty of stories about Lady Gaga,” he told the Pennsylvania crowd. “I know a lot of stories about her.”
