“I’ve been waiting for this moment my whole life,” Cardi told the crowd while reading on her phone. “I take seriously the call to show up, speak out, and share a message that has been in my heart for some time.”
She continued, “Like Kamala Harris, I have been the underdog, undervalued, and my successes belittled. Women have to work ten times harder but still face the question of how to succeed. I Can’t stand bullies, but like Kamala, I always stand up to bullies.
Cardi noted that she had not endorsed Trump or Joe Biden for the 2024 presidential election until Harris entered the race and “completely changed my mind.”

She is warm, compassionate, understanding and, most importantly, realistic. Kamala recognizes that this country is at risk and we need to strengthen our economy and address the rising cost of living. problem.
Cardi turned her attention to Trump, whom she called “Donnie Trump,” and addressed the former president’s recent comments about protecting women, whether they “like it or not.”

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 should have rights. When those rights are threatened, he disappears.
She added, “If his definition of conservation means limiting our choices and ensuring our daughters have fewer rights than our mothers did, then I don’t want it!”
Cardi also called the former president a “liar,” saying: “It’s disgraceful to deprive women of their rights. To defraud Americans of their hard-earned money by selling Trump watches, Trump sneakers, Trump Bibles… We Do you really believe this man has faith in 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.
