Tom Steyer certainly tried to back it up

Juvenile shouted "Back the vote up" and reader, I have not recovered.

The race for president gets weirder every day.

Billionaire Tom Steyer gave South Carolina one last rally before the Saturday primary, which involved charcuterie plates, a light show, and a glorious improvised dance routine to rapper Juvenile's set. After some technical difficulties that left the rapper irate after a "lengthy sound check," Slate reports, Juvenile took to the stage to perform his 1998 hit "Back That Azz Up."

And folks, Steyer certainly tried to back it up. Like that uncle in socks and sandals at the Memorial Day barbecue, Steyer got low and began to execute a measured full-body bop.

"Back the vote up!" Juvenile said.

Here's an extended version, because the American public deserves to see this man's very enthusiastic modified chicken dance.

Steyer, to his credit, is taking ownership of his dancing.

"The rumors are true," the candidate said in an Instagram post. "I busted some moves at my rally in Columbia last night."

I, for one, do not know what to do with myself after witnessing this. The image of Steyer backing it up will be forever etched into my brain.
