Nationwide — Cardi B reinforced her endorsement of Kamala Harris by appearing at the Democratic nominee’s rally in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, on Friday evening. The rapper took the stage to deliver a speech that captured the attention of the crowd, alongside an event lineup that included performances by GloRilla, Flo Milli, MC Lyte, The Isley Brothers, and DJ Gemini Gilly.The highlight of the event was Cardi’s passionate speech, which drew attention because she had initially planned not to vote in this election. Her stance changed after Joe Biden withdrew from the race and Harris was nominated. From that moment, Cardi became an outspoken supporter of the Vice President, emphasizing her belief in Harris’ candidacy.
Cardi had already shown her support publicly on multiple occasions. In July, she posted on Instagram, “STOP PLAYING WIT ME!!!! Check the date.. said this on JUNE 30TH! been told y’all Kamala should’ve been the 2024 candidate.” Her social media posts underscored her consistent backing of Harris and highlighted her desire for others to recognize Harris’ potential.
Other celebrities also rallied behind Harris as Election Day approached. Jennifer Lopez made headlines when she spoke at Harris’ Halloween rally in Las Vegas. Lopez endorsed Harris following a controversial statement at Donald Trump’s rally in Madison Square Garden, where Puerto Rico was referred to as a “floating island of garbage.”
The momentum continued with a notable reunion by Beyoncé and Kelly Rowland, former members of Destiny’s Child, who appeared together at a rally in Houston to support Harris’ presidential campaign. Their appearance added significant star power to Harris’ campaign efforts and drew widespread attention from fans and the media.
In addition to these appearances, numerous celebrities voiced their support for Harris online. Taylor Swift, Billie Eilish, John Legend, Jamie Lee Curtis, Katy Perry, and Kerry Washington were among the high-profile names who shared their endorsements on social media. Whether these efforts would be enough to sway voters by November 5 remained uncertain, but the combined star power certainly amplified Harris’ presence in the final days leading up to the election.
