Vice President Kamala Harris is turning up the volume while turning the page with a proper "TGIF" rally in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, featuring superstars Cardi B and GloRilla.
The "When We Vote We Win" event will also feature performances from other musical icons like MC Lyte, Flo Milli, and The Isley Brothers. Cardi B will make a speech while GloRilla is expected to perform her hit "Yeah Glo!"
Cardi B has been a longtime supporter of the Vice President and has also defended her from sexist attacks. “Listen, if you don’t like her as a politician, that’s you. But if you disrespect her because she’s a woman? It’s very disgusting,” Cardi said during a Twitter Spaces in late July.
GloRilla recently shared her support for the VP in a video posted to her social media accounts, offering four reasons why she believes the Democratic ticket should earn people’s votes. Among them were “a woman’s right to choose and “protect the LGBTQIA+ community.”
Musical artists from various genres have stepped up to support the Harris/Walz ticket, with every rally bringing major concert energy. On Wednesday in Madison, WI, Gracie Abrams, Mumford & Sons, Remi Wolfe, and The National’s Aaron Dessner and Matt Berninger performed. Beyoncé and her Destiny’s Child bandmate Kelly Rowland made headlines at the Vice President's Houston rally on October 25th--which also featured legendary singer Willie Nelson--with Beyoncé making a passionate speech as she endorsed and introduced VP Harris. And Bruce Springsteen performed at a rally in Atlanta where former President Barack Obama shared the campaign for the first time with the VP.
Cardi B's politics have set off some of Donald Trump's MAGA base, who went after her former high school teacher on Facebook and found out not to mess with Ms. Hill.
