Cardi B says she won’t vote in the 2024 presidential election

'People have short memories': Trump and Biden run on presidential records

Over the years Cardi B has taken people by surprise with her interest in politics and using her platform to speak on political and social issues.

In 2020 she was a vocal supporter of President Joe Biden and Sen. Bernie Sanders (D-VT) during the primaries and election. She even interviewed both of them.

As we approach the 2024 presidential election she revealed, she’s not supporting any candidate.

In March, she told Los Angeles radio DJ Big Boy that she’s not casting her vote for President Biden or former President Donald Trump.

In a recent cover story with Rolling Stone, the “Bodak Yellow” rapper doubled down on that decision. “I don’t f— with both of y’all,” she said about both men.

The outlet said she sees Trump as a “dire threat” and with Biden “she’s felt ‘layers and layers of disappointment’ from what she sees as domestic and foreign mismanagement.”

“I feel like people got betrayed,” she explained about the Biden Administration.

The Bronx native referenced the high cost of living amid low wages.

“It’s just like, damn, y’all not caring about nobody,” she says. “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 f—ing thing.”

Back in 2023, she slammed Biden for “prioritizing foreign issues” like what’s going on in Israel and Ukraine over what’s happening at home.

She told the outlet that she is “concerned artists of color can get ‘blackballed’ for talking about the war in Gaza.”

“[America] don’t pay for endless wars for countries that have been going through s–t for a very long time,” she said. “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. 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.”
