Cardi B:
Early in 2018, she used her social media to demand transparency on tax policy, asking for detailed information on how her taxpayer dollars are being spent in New York state and criticizing the maintenance of its streets, prisons, and public transportation.[300] Also in 2018, she praised President Franklin D. Roosevelt for advocating for the Social Security program and the New Deal project.[301] She said of Roosevelt, "he helped us get over the Depression, all while he was in a wheelchair. Like, this man was suffering from polio at the time of his presidency, and yet all he was worried about was trying to make America great—make America great again for real. He's the real 'Make America Great Again,' because if it wasn't for him, old people wouldn't even get Social Security."[302] Sanders has praised her for her "leading role" in calling attention to Social Security.[303]
Cardi B endorsed Sanders once again in his second bid for the presidency in the 2020 United States presidential election, while praising U.S. Representative Tim Ryan.[304] She stated that one of the reasons for her endorsement is Sanders' long-time involvement in supporting underprivileged minorities and "people getting Medicare because he knows they can't afford it,"[2] while Politico argued that she "might be one of Bernie's most powerful 2020 allies."[305]
In 2020, Cardi B used her social pages to raise awareness for victims of police brutality, and has encouraged people to vote for mayors, judges and district attorneys in local elections.[306] In a conversation with Democratic candidate Joe Biden for Elle, they discussed Medicare, free college tuition, and racial equality.[307] According to a study published by The Hollywood Reporter, Cardi B ranked as the fifth most influential celebrity, and fourth among Generation Z, for the 2020 presidential election.[308]
In late 2023, Cardi B stated she no longer supports Joe Biden for president,[309] saying that she would "not [be] endorsing no fucking presidents no more" as a result of Biden's "spending on wars".[310][311] In 2024, she endorsed Kamala Harris.[312]
