Cardi B, the renowned American rapper, has officially endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris as the Democratic Party’s presidential candidate for the upcoming United States election.

US Election: Rapper Cardi B Endorses Kamala Harris for President

Previously, Cardi B had shown support for Harris following President Joe Biden’s debate with the Republican candidate, Donald Trump. She praised Biden’s decision to step down, which paved the way for Harris’s candidacy.

Reports indicate that President Joe Biden announced his withdrawal from the Democratic Party’s presidential race on Sunday, subsequently endorsing his Vice President, Kamala Harris, as the new flagbearer for the party.

Cardi B expressed her excitement on her X handle, writing, “Aha hahaha let’s go! I told y’all Kamala [Harris] was supposed to be the 2024 candidate… Stop f*ckin playin with me!”

In an earlier interview with Rolling Stone in May, Cardi B had mentioned she would abstain from voting in the November election if the major candidates were Joe Biden and Donald Trump. She explained her stance, stating she had once viewed Trump as a “dangerous threat,” but felt “layers and layers of disappointment” under Biden’s administration due to perceived domestic and foreign policy failures.

In related news, Cardi B has made it clear she has no intentions of retiring from music, despite claims by controversial rapper-turned-podcaster Joe Budden that she would not release another album. Cardi B criticized Budden for his comments on her project’s rollout and accused him of drug use.

The Grammy-winning artist stated that Budden had been attacking her in the media and trying to pit her against other female rappers. She also recalled an incident from her days as an exotic dancer, accusing Budden of being high on cocaine while she gave him two lap dances at Starlets.

During a recent X chat with fans, Cardi B declared, “I’m not a quitter. I might postpone, but I’ll never give up music. I’m not letting these b*tches take my bags!”
