Before Vice President Harris entered the presidential race, Cardi B wasn’t prepared to endorse the Democratic ticket anymore than she was interested in supporting the Republican candidate.
Speaking to Rolling Stone as the cover star of their June 2024 issue, Cardi outlined where she stood politically.

Of Biden and Trump, she said: “I don’t fuck with both of y’all n-ggas.”
Cardi, who has been supportive of Biden and critical of Trump in the past, also admitted Biden’s tenure as president has left her feeling “layers and layers of disappointment.”
“I feel like people got betrayed,” she added. “It’s just like, damn, y’all not caring about nobody. Then, it really gets me upset that there is solutions to it. There is a solution. I know there’s a solution because you’re spending billions of dollars on any fucking thing.”
Cardi went on to criticize U.S. spending on war efforts in Ukraine and Israel: “[America] don’t pay for endless wars for countries that have been going through shit for a very long time. There’s countries [where] kids are getting killed every single day, but because the [U.S.] won’t benefit from that country, they won’t help.”

She went on: “I don’t like that America has this superhero cape on. We never did things to be superheroes. We did things for our own convenience.”
The Bronx rap star also admitted she was concerned about being “blackballed” due to her criticism of U.S. supporting Israel.
