Republican presidential hopeful Vivek Ramaswamy lost himself in the music and the moment as he broke out his rapping alter ego on the campaign trail Saturday.
In a first for the 2024 GOP primary race, the 38-year-old businessman — who has seen a recent surge in the polls — grabbed a mic and performed a verse of Eminem’s “Lose Yourself” to a surprised crowd at the Iowa State Fair.
“Snap back to reality, ope there goes gravity,” he chanted, grinning broadly and pumping his fist in time to the track.
Moments before, he had named the song — a 2002 hit from the film “8 Mile” that went on to win an Academy Award — as his favorite walk-out track at campaign events.
