Cardi B has been an outspoken supporter of Kamala Harris throughout the 2024 presidential campaign, using her platform to back the Democratic candidate and openly criticize Donald Trump. At a rally in Milwaukee, her speech made waves as she labeled Trump a "hustler," but not in a positive light. “Donald Trump is a hustler," she said. "He’s hustling women out of their rights and Americans out of their money. He’s selling more than just watches and sneakers—he’s selling bigotry, misogyny, division, chaos, and confusion.”
Cardi’s words sparked mixed reactions online and criticism from celebrities, including Azealia Banks, who described the speech as “cringe” and accused Cardi of playing a “stupid Latina shtick.” Despite the backlash, Cardi defended herself, sharing, “I worked so hard on my speech, bro.” Her hopes of seeing Harris win didn’t materialize, however, as Trump ultimately secured the electoral vote 292-224.

Following the election results, Cardi expressed disappointment but took a moment to thank Harris for her resilience, praising her for “putting up a fight against all odds.” She admired Harris’s efforts to inspire women of color, saying that she “showed my daughters and women across the country that anything is possible.” Nonetheless, Cardi’s support didn’t go over well with everyone, as some critics on Instagram argued that she hadn’t researched Harris enough, with one user harshly remarking, “There’s a long list of reasons why she lost, and you’re one of them 👏.”
