Cardi B, known for her outspoken views on U.S. politics, recently weighed in on President Joe Biden’s decision to withdraw from the 2024 presidential race. The 31-year-old rapper, who believes it’s her responsibility to discuss political matters due to her public platform, had previously criticized the Democratic Party for allowing Biden to continue his presidential run.

Following the announcement of Biden’s withdrawal, Cardi B took to social media to express her thoughts, stating, “Ahahahaha let’s gooooo I told ya’ll Kamala was supposed to be the 2024 candidate.” She had previously advocated for Vice President Kamala Harris to take the Democratic nomination for the upcoming election, criticizing what she saw as a delay in passing the torch to a new leader.

In an Instagram live session shortly after the news broke, Cardi B elaborated on her excitement, despite acknowledging past criticism for her outspokenness on political issues. She defended her right to voice opinions, stating, “Just because of the way I speak or where I come from doesn’t mean that I’m uneducated.”

Cardi B also addressed detractors who bring up unrelated personal matters, such as her marriage to Offset, when discussing her political views. She questioned why her advocacy for Kamala Harris had any connection to her personal life, emphasizing her focus on broader political issues.

President Biden’s decision to step down was announced on Twitter, citing his belief that focusing on his presidential duties was in the best interest of both his party and the country. His decision followed public and celebrity criticism, including calls for him to step aside after a challenging debate against Donald Trump earlier in the year.

Cardi B’s outspokenness continues to make waves in political discourse, illustrating the intersection of celebrity influence and public policy in contemporary American politics.
