In an electrifying endorsement, rapper Cardi B threw her support behind Vice President Kamala Harris, delivering a fiery speech that lit up a campaign rally in Wisconsin on November 1, 2024. The event at Wisconsin State Fair Park in West Allis saw Cardi B, dressed in an all-white power suit, capture the crowd’s energy as she boldly declared her faith in Harris’s vision for the country.
Cardi began by calling out to the crowd, “Are we ready to make history?” Drawing thunderous applause, she shared how Harris had completely changed her outlook on the election. Initially, Cardi had no intention of voting, but Harris’s entry and message made her feel hopeful about the future. “I did not have faith in any candidates until she joined the race and said the things I wanted to hear,” Cardi admitted, adding that Harris was the first to address issues close to her heart.
Throughout her nearly 10-minute speech, Cardi praised Harris for her empathy, passion, and deep commitment to tackling key challenges like economic inequality and the high cost of living. “Kamala recognizes that this country is at risk. The economy needs to get stronger, and the cost of food and living is too high,” she told the crowd. She emphasized how women, especially those who are often underestimated or belittled, have to work harder to reach success. “Just like Kamala Harris, I too have been the underdog. Women have to work ten times harder, perform ten times better, and still people question how we got to the top,” Cardi shared, her words resonating deeply with the audience.
As the rally progressed, Cardi shifted her focus to former President Donald Trump, making her stance crystal clear. She referenced Trump’s recent comments on protecting women, saying, “He says he’s going to protect women whether they like it or not.” Cardi challenged his definition of “protection,” explaining that genuine support for women’s rights should empower them with choices. “Protection for women, especially maternal and mental health care, is not about telling us what to do with our bodies. It’s about supporting us, giving us the care we need for what we choose to do with our bodies,” she declared.
She didn’t hold back, calling out Trump’s policies as “selling bigotry, misogyny, division, chaos, and confusion,” warning that they could rob Americans of equal opportunity, affordable healthcare, and personal rights. With her characteristic bluntness, she vowed, “I’m not giving Donald Trump a second chance. I’m not taking any chances with my future, and I’m damn sure not taking any chances for the future of my children!”
To conclude, Cardi B delivered a powerful rallying cry for the upcoming election. “I’m with Kamala. I believe in her. And, America, I believe in you. Turn out and turn up on Tuesday. Let’s win this thing!” Her endorsement and message at the “When We Vote, We Win” rally—alongside other artists like GloRilla, Flo Milli, and MC Lyte—added a powerful note to Harris’s campaign, encouraging voters to make history in the upcoming election.
