Cardi B, once an outspoken supporter of Joe Biden during the 2020 elections, is making headlines once again with her recent decision to abstain from endorsing either of the main candidates in the upcoming presidential election.
In a candid interview with Rolling Stone, the rapper voiced her discomfort with both Biden and Donald Trump, particularly citing their involvement in foreign conflicts as a primary concern.
CNN’s State of the Union host, Jake Tapper, highlighted Cardi B’s shift in stance, noting her previous endorsement of Biden and her current disavowal of both candidates. Fellow panelist Bakari Sellers emphasized the potential impact of her decision, suggesting that apathy towards Biden among voters like Cardi B could pose a significant challenge to his campaign.
Cardi B has been vocal about her reservations regarding Biden’s policies, particularly his support for military actions abroad. In a live stream, she expressed her reluctance to support a candidate who funds wars that result in civilian casualties, emphasizing the impact on families and children.
Despite her personal decision not to vote for either candidate, Cardi B clarified that she respects individuals’ right to make their own choices regarding voting. She maintains that her intention is not to dissuade others from voting but simply to share her own perspective.
As the 2024 Presidential Election draws nearer, Cardi B’s outspoken views are likely to continue sparking discussions on the intersection of politics and celebrity activism.
