Eminem has expressed his political views in multiple songs. However, instead of endorsing presidential candidates, he has primarily focused on criticizing candidates. The first was "Mosh", which was released in 2004, a few weeks before the 2004 United States presidential election and heavily criticized then-president George W. Bush. However, he did not directly endorse John Kerry in the song, either. He wouldn't express political views again until the 2016 election when he released "Campaign Speech", which criticized presidential candidate Donald Trump. The following year, he again criticized Trump in a freestyle titled "The Storm". In the freestyle, he expressed support for former San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick and the National Anthem protests and expressed his displeasure for any of his fans that support Trump. In his song "Darkness", he heavily references the 2017 Las Vegas mass shooting and, at the end of the music video, he expresses his support for gun control. The week before the 2020 United States presidential election, he approved his song "Lose Yourself" to be used in a campaign video for Joe Biden.
