Comparing Her Journey to Harris’s, Cardi B Speaks on Resilience
In her address, Cardi B drew parallels between her experiences and those of Kamala Harris, saying, “Just like Kamala Harris, I too have been the underdog.

A Vote for Women’s Rights and Equality
Cardi B expressed deep faith in Harris’ message, saying, “I did not have faith for any candidate until she joined the race and said the things that I wanted to hear — things I want to see next in this country.” She praised Harris’s passion, empathy, and commitment to change.
Criticizing Trump’s Stance on Women’s Rights
The rapper also criticized former President Donald Trump’s stance on women’s rights, referring to him as “Donald Dump.” She argued, “If your definition of protection is making sure our daughters have fewer rights than their mothers, then I don’t want it.”
The rally emphasized the importance of voter engagement, with Cardi B and Harris inspiring the crowd to vote for a future that supports equality and justice.
