Cardi B agrees with Kamala Harris that cost of living is 'too high'
Cardi B said during her speech at the rally, "I believe in every word that comes out of her mouth. She's passionate, she's compassionate, she shows empathy, and most of all she is not delusional."
She then told the crowd, "Kamala recognized that this county is at risk. That the economy needs to get stronger, that the cost of food and the cost of living is too high. Damn, it's even high for me."
The rapper added, "I believe her when she says that under her buying milk and eggs won't break the bank because she is going to pass a ban on price gauging on groceries. And she told me that on my face so she better not lie to me on my face."
Food prices have gone up by more than 20% in the last two years for lower-income groups, per the Guardian. The outlet added that voters can add healthcare and pharmaceutical costs to the list of unaffordable items on the average household’s ledger.
Cardi B calls herself an 'underdog' like Kamala Harris
The singer compared herself to Kamala Harris and said she is an 'underdog' and has been "underestimated." She said, "Just like Kamala Harris, I too have been the underdog. I’ve been underestimated. My success, belittled and discredited. Women have to work 10 times harder, perform 10 times better, and still, people question us how we got to the top."
The rapper also revealed that she hadn’t originally planned to vote this year, but changed her mind when Harris joined the race and President Joe Biden dropped out.
She told the crowd, "She changed my mind completely. “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."

People just lay their reputation out there like this because their audience is uneducated about political matters.
She should seriously be disappointed in herself. Kamala will not magically come in and fix the problems she created.
A user also wrote, "Cardi B complaining about prices that were caused by Kamala, who “promises” to lower them," while one added, "She is lying to you. And to all Americans. Kamala is the most unskilled and unqualified politician in our history."

It’s like the saying goes, “Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame me.”
Cardi, just make sure when you eat crow, it’s on a mic, apologizing to We The People directly.
She is lying to you. And to all Americans.
