Cardi B Backs Kamala Harris at Milwaukee Rally: ‘I Believe in Her’

Cardi B is the latest name with an undeniable impact to throw their support behind Kamala Harris as the 2024 presidential election date nears.

During a campaign event in Milwaukee on Friday, the “Enough” artist addressed the crowd saying that she wasn’t going to vote this year but Harris changed her mind.

“I wasn’t gonna vote this year, I wasn’t,” the rapper said. “But Kamala Harris joining the race, she changed my mind completely. I did not have faith on any candidates until she joined the race and said the things that I wanted to hear, that I want to see next in this country.”

Earlier into the 2024 election season, Cardi spoke candidly about her frustrations with the then-current options, Joe Biden and Donald Trump. At one point, she voiced those frustrations by publicly considering opting out of this particular election due to Biden “funding a war” and Trump wanting “a dictatorship.” In July, amid mounting pressure, Biden dropped out of the race, thus clearing the way for Harris. In previous elections, Cardi has supported Bernie Sanders.

Harris and her VP pick Tim Walz have promised “a new way forward” with their campaign. Issues key to their policies include the restoration and protection of reproductive freedoms, the lowering of health care costs, and tax breaks for middle class families.
