US election: Cardi B backs Kamala Harris for President

Cardi B, an American rapper, has embraced Vice President Kamala Harris as the Democratic Party's presidential candidate in the United States.

Cardi B, who had previously nominated Harris as the Democratic Party's candidate following President Joe Biden's debate with Republican Party nominee Donald Trump, hailed Biden's resignation and enthusiastically endorsed Harris.

According to TalkTalk Nigeria, President Joe Biden stepped down as the Democratic Party's candidate on Sunday and endorsed his vice, Kamala Harris, as the party's flagbearer.

Cardi B responded via her X handle, writing: "Aha hahaha let's go!" Kamala Harris was intended to be the 2024 candidate. Stop f*ckin' playing with me!"

Cardi B previously told Rolling Stone in May that she will not vote in the November election if the two major candidates remain incumbent President Joe Biden of the Democratic Party and his predecessor, Donald Trump of the Republican Party.

She added that she used to regard Trump as a "dangerous threat," but that under Biden, she felt "layers and layers of disappointment" from what she saw as home and international incompetence.
