Cardi B, a Grammy-winning rapper, recently stated that prior to Vice President Kamala Harris’s entry into the race, she had not planned to vote in the upcoming presidential election.
Cardi B spoke on Friday at the rally in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, titled “When We Vote, We Win” about how Harris’s candidacy inspired her to participate in the election process. She shared with attendees, “I didn’t plan on voting in the presidential election until Kamala Harris joined the race,” describing how the vice president’s policies and platform resonated with her.
In recent years, Cardi B has been vocal about social and political issues, frequently urging her fans to vote and advocating for healthcare and education reform policies. She backs Harris as part of the vice president’s larger strategy to get celebrity endorsements, especially in key battleground states. Harris has collaborated with a number of artists, including Lizzo, Usher, and Beyoncé, in an effort to get younger and more diverse voters involved in the electoral process.
The Milwaukee rally is part of Harris’s final effort to reach voters in Wisconsin, a crucial swing state where polls show President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump in a close race. Harris and her team want to get young voters who aren’t sure about the election and might be influenced by Cardi B and other well-known endorsers.
