AceShowbiz - Hip-hop sensation Cardi B teamed up with Vice President Kamala Harris at a high-energy rally aimed at young voters. The "When We Vote We Win" event series brought together music and politics ahead of the upcoming election.

The rally, held at Wisconsin State Fair Park Exposition Center, kicked off at 6 P.M. CDT on Friday, November 1, energizing a crowd filled with both music fans and political supporters. Notable performers included GloRilla, MC Lyte, the Isley Brothers, Flo Milli and DJ Gemini Gilly.

Encouraging political engagement, Cardi B delivered an impassioned speech highlighting her personal transformation from a skeptical non-voter to an ardent Harris supporter. "Just like Kamala Harris, I too have been the underdog," she told the audience, taking a stand on women's rights and representation.

Cardi didn't shy away from her past criticisms of the Biden administration but praised Harris for changing her perspective, "I did not have faith for any candidate until she joined the race and said the things that I wanted to hear - things I want to see next in this country."

The event is timely, with the 2024 Election Day, set for November 5, just days away. Harris and her opponent, former President Donald Trump, are running a tight race. According to FiveThirtyEight's latest polling, Harris holds a slight lead over Trump nationally and is ahead by a hair in the crucial battleground state of Wisconsin.

Vice President Harris' campaign events, especially in swing states like Wisconsin, are strategically designed to mobilize voters. An email from the campaign stressed the significance of such appearances, "These artists and public figures are trusted voices for millions of Americans, who listen to their music, follow them on social media, or are otherwise inspired by them."

Cardi B's influence extends beyond her music, with an Instagram following of 165 million and over 30 million monthly listeners on Spotify. Her credibility and reach provide a valuable boost to Harris' efforts to connect with younger voters. Cardi's presence at the rally underscores the collaboration between the music industry and political campaigns to highlight issues like economic fairness, affordable housing, and reproductive rights.

As the event series wraps up, Harris aims to resonate with undecided voters by emphasizing her campaign's closing messages. Addressing the audience, she focused on pressing issues such as the economy, immigration, and reproductive rights, setting a clear contrast between her approach and that of her Republican rival.

The Milwaukee rally reiterates the power of celebrity endorsements in political campaigns, particularly for engaging younger demographics. With stars like Cardi B advocating for active participation, the "When We Vote We Win" series could play a pivotal role in swaying the youth vote ahead of the election.
