Cardi B Slams Donald Trump at Kamala Harris Rally in Milwaukee

Cardi B shared her thoughts on Donald Trump during a Kamala Harris campaign rally near Milwaukee on Friday (Nov. 1).

Ahead of Election Day on Nov. 5, the “Bodak Yellow” rapper delivered a passionate speech at the Wisconsin State Fair Exposition Center in West Allis, voicing her support for Harris and criticizing Trump's views on women's rights.

“I've been waiting for this moment my whole life,” Cardi told the crowdreading from her cell phone. “I take seriously the call to show up, to speak out, and to share a message that's been on my heart for a while now.”

She continued, “Like Kamala Harris, I've been the underdog, underestimated, and had my success belittled. Women have to work ten times harder and still face questions about how we achieved success. I can't stand a bully, but just like Kamala, I always stand up to one.”

Cardi noted that she hadn't backed either Trump or Joe Biden for the 2024 presidential election until Harris entered the race and “changed my mind completely.”

“I didn't have faith in any candidates until she joined and spoke the words I wanted to hear about the future of this country,” she said. “I believe every word she says. She's passionate, compassionate, empathetic, and most importantly, she's realistic. Kamala recognizes that this country is at risk, and that we need to strengthen our economy and address the rising cost of living.”

Turning her focus to Trump, whom she referred to as “Donny Trump,” Cardi addressed the former president's recent comment about protecting women whether they “like it or not.”

“Protection for women — especially regarding maternal and mental health care — is not about telling us what to do with our bodies. It's about supporting us and providing the care we need for our choices,” the rapper explained. “People like Donald Trump don't believe women deserve rights. When those rights are threatened, he disappears.”

She added, “If his definition of protection means restricting our choices and ensuring our daughters have fewer rights than our mothers, then I don't want it!”

Cardi also labeled the former president a “hustler,” saying, “Hustling women out of their rights is disgraceful. Hustling Americans out of their hard-earned money by selling Trump watches, Trump sneakers, Trump Bibles… do we really trust this man with our economy? A man who only cares about getting rich and cutting taxes for his billionaire friends. I don't even get a tax cut.”

Following the rally, Cardi continued her support for Harris and criticism of Trump on X (formerly Twitter), writing“Donald Trump talks about having plans, but the only plan he has is to hustle YOU.”
