Today it’s Cardi B, yesterday it was J-Lo.

Kamala Harris rolled out celebrity support in the final days of the campaign. At her rally in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, the rapper and songwriter was one of the key speakers and performers before the vice president took the stage.

Cardi B is a social media heavyweight with over 250 million followers across her social media platforms. It is unlikely that his appearance will appeal to Trump’s Republicans, headed by Maga. But it will help energize Harris’ base and potentially encourage some fans who might not have thought about voting to care.

What was notable was that Cardi B repeated many of Harris’ talking points before taking the stage.

While reading on her cell phone, she discussed Donald Trump’s abortion rights policy, saying: “No, no. I’m not taking any chances with my future…and (I’m) not taking any chances with the future of my person”. children”.

On the economy, the rapper said we need to “get stronger” and added “the cost of food and the cost of living is too high.”

Harris has recently started putting the economy at the top of her speeches, and it was no different tonight.

“At the top of my list is reducing the cost of living for you, which will be my goal every day,” Harris said.

The cost of living is a major issue in this election, as households balk at prices which have jumped nearly 20% in four years.

In her final days, she argues that she understands the economic suffering of ordinary Americans and that she has a plan to help them. If America listens, we’ll find out soon.
