Rapper Cardi B was momentarily left speechless after an apparent teleprompter glitch interrupted her speech during a rally for Vice President Kamala Harris in Wisconsin on Friday.
Currently, Harris leads former President Donald Trump by just 0.2% in a head-to-head matchup in Wisconsin, according to the RealClearPolling average. However, six of the last eight polls show Trump either tied or leading in this crucial swing state, which he won in 2016. In an effort to garner more support, the “WAP” artist endorsed Harris at the rally, mentioning that she intended to sit out the election until Harris took over as the top candidate for the Democratic ticket.
“One second guys, one second,” the rapper said after the teleprompter appeared to malfunction, adding, “I’m a little nervous, guys! I’ve been waiting for this moment my whole life.”
“I need Patience over here,” Cardi B said, looking for help after the teleprompter glitch. Once she got a cell phone to read her speech, she addressed the crowd.
In 2023, Cardi B criticized President Joe Biden for his handling of the Ukraine War and Israel's response to the October 7 terrorist attack by Hamas, which killed over 1,200 people. She also expressed concern about budget cuts in New York City due to an influx of migrants.
“In New York, there is a $120 million budget cut that’s going to affect schools, public libraries, and the police department. And a $5 million cut in sanitation,” Cardi B said in a video. “Bitch, we are going to be drowning in fucking rats.”
Additionally, she called out Biden over the economy in a 2022 Twitter post, asking, “When y’all think they going to announce that we going into a recession?”
