Cardi B Endorses Kamala Harris For President

After announcing she had no plans to vote in the 2024 presidential election, Cardi B has had a change of heart.

 

On Friday, the rapper officially endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris at the candidate’s Milwaukee rally.

In an impassioned speech, she denounced Donald Trump‘s candidacy, citing women’s rights as the main issue.

 

Cardi B has never been shy when it comes to politics and you may recall that in May, the rapper pledged to sit this election out.

 

At the time, President Joe Biden was still in the running and many including Cardi were concerned about Biden’s health and age. However, after Vice President Harris spent some time on the campaign trail, she convinced the mother of three to reconsider.

“She changed my mind completely,” said Cardi at Kamala’s rally on Friday, “I did not have faith in any candidate until she joined the race and said the things that I wanted to hear, that I wanted to see next in this country.”

 

She also took time to inform the audience of Trump’s plan to swindle American voters and claimed he doesn’t believe women deserve rights. She highlighted women’s rights in her speech as she closely related her backstory to Harris.’

“Just like Kamala Harris, I too have been the underdog. I’ve been underestimated, my success belittled and discredited. Let me tell you something. Women have to work 10 times harder, perform 10 times better, and still, people question us, how we got to the top,” she declared.

She also insinuated that Trump is a bully, but Harris can beat him.

“I can’t stand a bully, but just like Kamala, I always stand up to one,” she stated.

Cardi B Breaks Down Kamala Harris’ Policies

During her speech, Cardi helped viewers and voters better understand Harris’ plan for the American people.

 

She discussed the VP’s plan to end price gouging in grocery stores and mortgage down payment assistance. Most of her speech, however, was dedicated to women’s right to choose.

Abortion rights have been a major topic in the 2024 presidential elections, as Harris has made it a focal point of her campaign.

 

As BOSSIP reported in 2022, the Supreme Court overturned the Roe vs. Wade verdict, giving states the right to ban abortions. In his campaign, Trump stated he had no plan to help reinstate the verdict. However, Cardi B pointed out that he said he would be a “protector” of women.

To that, the femcee said;

“People like Donald Trump don’t believe women deserve rights, and when those rights are taken away, they are nowhere to be found,” said Cardi.”If [Trump’s] definition of protection is not the freedom of choice, if his definition of protection is making sure our daughters have fewer rights than our mothers, then I don’t want it,” she added.

The “I Like It” rapper also spoke about Trump’s “hustling ways.”

 

“Hustling women out of their rights to their body is nasty work. Hustling Americans out of their hard earned money by selling Trump watches, Trump sneakers and Trump Bible — by the way, the watches is $100,000, made in China, another country he discredited — is nasty too,” she said.

 

 

Cardi B is one of several celebrities who have endorsed Kamala Harris.

 

Beyoncé and Kelly Rowland officially endorsed the VP at her Houston rally, Jennifer Lopez spoke in Nevada, and Megan Thee Stallion performed at her first Atlanta rally.
