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.
