During the Milwaukee rally for Kamala Harris in Wisconsin on November 1, 2024, Cardi B shared that she hadn’t initially planned to vote in the upcoming Presidential election, but Harris had persuaded her otherwise. She described the Democratic candidate as an "underdog," noting how Kamala Harris’s achievements as a woman are often downplayed and underestimated.

She expressed frustration about her achievements being downplayed and discredited. The audience cheered as she declared that women put in significantly more effort, performing at a higher level, only to have their success questioned. Cardi B said:

“I believe in every word that comes out of her mouth. She is passionate, she is compassionate. She shows empathy and most of all, she is not delusional. Yeah, Kamala recognised that this country is at risk, that the economy needs to get stronger, that the cost of food and cost of living is too high. Damn, it’s even higher than me!”

She continued:

“Because she’s gonna pass a ban on price dodging on groceries. And she told me that on my face. So she better not lie to me on my face. I believed her when she said she will make housing more affordable by providing Americans with $25,000 in down payment assistance.”

Cardi B voiced her support for Kamala Harris, mentioning her belief in the proposed tax cut benefiting 100 million middle-class Americans, including a $6,000 benefit for parents in their child’s first year. She contrasted this with Trump’s stance on women’s rights, stating that if "protection" meant limiting choices and providing fewer rights for future generations, then she wouldn’t need it.

Cardi B expressed that while it was understood that Trump was a hustler, exploiting women’s rights over their bodies was particularly distasteful. She also criticized him for profiting off Americans by selling merchandise like Trump watches, sneakers, and Bibles.

She questioned whether anyone trusted a man whose focus seemed solely on enriching himself and cutting taxes for billionaires, stating that she didn't even receive a tax cut herself. She warned that today it might be about financial exploitation, but tomorrow he would be infringing on healthcare rights.

Cardi B characterized Trump as someone promoting bigotry, misogyny, division, chaos, and confusion, declaring her unwillingness to give him another chance. While endorsing Kamala Harris, she said:

“I am with Kamala. I believe in her and America, I believe in you to turn out on Tuesday. Turn out and turn up on Tuesday. Turn the page and let’s win this thing.”

Kamala Harris took the stage and confidently asserted that victory was assured. She emphasized the need for a new generation of leadership in America, declaring her fighting spirit and commitment to overcoming obstacles if given the chance.

She also criticized Donald Trump, accusing him of seeking unchecked power and framing the upcoming election as a decisive moment. The audience responded with applause and chants of her name, while "Freedom" banners waved in the background.
