Cardi B Expresses Election Anxiety and Political Commitment.
In a recent statement reflecting her deep engagement with the impending presidential election, Grammy-winning rapper Cardi B expressed a sense of nervousness that she likened to the pressures of a presidential campaign. “I don’t know why I’m so nervous for tomorrow. I feel like I’m running for president,” she conveyed to her 36 million followers on X, emphasizing the weight of the moment.
Cardi B’s political involvement was highlighted during a rally in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, where she formally endorsed Democratic candidate Kamala Harris. During her speech, she voiced her concerns about the Republican contender, Donald Trump, asserting that he promotes anti-women agendas. “Donald Trump is a hustler who is trying to hustle women out of their rights and hustle Americans out of their money… He’s selling more than watches and sneakers. He’s selling bigotry, misogyny, division, chaos, and confusion,” Cardi B declared.
Additionally, Cardi B took the opportunity to address rumors regarding her endorsement, firmly denying any allegations of receiving payment for her support of Harris. Her passionate remarks and commitment to the Democratic cause reflect the increasing role of celebrities in shaping political discourse, particularly among younger audiences. As the election approaches, Cardi B’s fervor serves as a reminder of the power of public figures in mobilizing voter engagement and awareness.
