Cardi B's EPIC Kamala Harris Rally Speech! Fiery Endorsement & HUGE Election Surprise!

Cardi B Fires Up Milwaukee Crowd at Kamala Harris Rally!

Cardi B: From "No Vote" to Vocal Harris Supporter!

Cardi B isn't just rapping; she's campaigning! This superstar took the stage at Kamala Harris's rally in Milwaukee, Wisconsin on Friday, showing major support. This wasn't some surprise endorsement – Cardi has become a really vocal supporter of Harris and has made that publicly clear several times already!

The rally was HUGE, featuring GloRillaFlo MilliMC LyteThe Isley Brothers, and DJ Gemini Gilly. But let’s be honest, it was Cardi's speech that really stole the show! Especially considering how unexpected her involvement and support of Kamala Harris has actually been! Before Harris became a 2024 candidate, Cardi originally planned to skip voting altogether! This explains why her decision to campaign is unexpected. It all shifted with the change and nomination of Harris; changing everything!

Cardi shared a post on Instagram in July ("STOP PLAYING WIT ME!!!! Check the date.. said this on JUNE 30TH! been told y’all Kamala should’ve been the 2024 candidate.") really showing the extent of her prior belief in Harris’s capabilities.

Cardi B's Powerful Message: Underdog Spirit and Standing Up to Bullies

Cardi B's speech in Milwaukee was less of a performance and more a powerful message, particularly relevant given that both are strong female voices with strong perspectives who have managed to make an impact even if facing significant adversity throughout life. She explained exactly why she’s supporting Harris; she didn't initially believe in any of the other candidates – making this rally's purpose incredibly effective – a huge endorsement in front of thousands of other audience members.

This wasn’t just an endorsement for Harris’s policies (reducing grocery gouging, supporting down payments, and expanding the child tax credit) Cardi used that personal story and aligned her experience and struggles with Harris’s path to prominence ("Just like Kamala Harris, I too have been the underdog. I’ve been underestimated, my success belittled and discredited. Let me tell you something. Women have to work 10 times harder, perform 10 times better, and still, people question us, how we got to the top.”) This connection highlighted and further brought a personal appeal and helped to generate those heartfelt messages for a significant portion of the audience!

Taking On Trump: A Fierce Critique of "Nasty" Behavior

Cardi also called out Trump during that 10-minute speech, saying Trump is a "hustler" who’s “hustling women out of their rights to their body” (“People like Donald Trump don’t believe women deserve rights, and when those rights are taken away, they are nowhere to be found,” she said, noting that after the repeal of Roe vs. Wade, no plan was put in place to assist women with unplanned pregnancies struggling to make ends meet. She brought attention to Trump’s recent comments that he was “a protector of women,” yet does nothing to really help improve and aid women's lives, calling his lack of actions and political initiatives during those time frames, to be quite shameful.

She completely criticized his “nasty work”, calling out the hypocrisy of this entire message; not to mention the problematic aspects behind Trump’s initiatives (“Hustling Americans out of their hard-earned money by selling Trump watches, Trump sneakers and Trump Bible — by the way, the watches is $100,000, made in China, another country he discredited — is nasty too.”) which adds more power to this argument. It's an excellent contrast to her support for Harris, who does demonstrate her dedication and initiative in creating policy changes and providing positive impact.

Cardi B is one of many celebrities backing Harris! This entire political movement brought forth a surprisingly strong response! Jennifer Lopez spoke at a rally a few days prior; and Beyoncé and Kelly Rowland reunited to perform at another rally. Others showed strong support; including online messages, this whole endeavor became one huge political show, showcasing numerous celebrities.

Conclusion: Will Celebrity Endorsements Tip the Scales?

Cardi B’s rally appearance made a statement. But will it move voters by November 5th? That’s up to the American voters! This isn't however unprecedented and it's very much something people must consider, that celebrity endorsements are one significant yet easily forgotten aspect of many political races. Regardless, her powerful speech combined with the collective support demonstrated by those other prominent actors, greatly demonstrated an immense and effective marketing plan and collective political endeavor; emphasizing its influence over certain portions of that electorate.
