Cardi B says Kamala Harris’s candidacy inspired her to vote in presidential election
Grammy Award-winning rapper Cardi B recently revealed that she hadn’t intended to vote in the upcoming presidential election until Vice President Kamala Harris entered the race.
Speaking at the “When We Vote We Win” rally in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, on Friday, Cardi B highlighted how Harris’s candidacy motivated her to engage in the election process. “I didn’t plan on voting in the presidential election until Kamala Harris joined the race,” she shared with attendees, explaining how the vice president’s platform and policies resonated with her.
Cardi B has been vocal in recent years about social and political issues, frequently encouraging her fans to vote and advocating for policies related to healthcare and education reform. Her support of Harris reflects a broader strategy by the vice president’s campaign to rally celebrity endorsements, especially in key battleground states. Harris has appeared with multiple artists, including Lizzo, Usher, and Beyoncé, as part of her efforts to engage younger and diverse voter demographics.
The Milwaukee rally is part of Harris’s final push to reach voters in the critical swing state of Wisconsin, where polling shows a close race between President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump. Harris and her team aim to mobilize undecided and younger voters who may be influenced by Cardi B and other high-profile endorsers.
Cardi B’s statement at the rally adds to the impactful messages shared at the “When We Vote We Win” campaign, highlighting how influential figures can drive voter engagement.
