What happened when Cardi B took the stage

Cardi B took the stage to cheers from the audience, but stopped for a few seconds, staring at the teleprompter. She then started to take off her gloves and said, “Wait a second, guys. One second!” Pausing for a few awkward seconds on stage again, she managed to say: “OK. So I’m not taking the call lightly,” Cardi B tried to speak again, continuing: “I’m sorry guys, I’m a little nervous. I’m a little nervous guys, I’ve been waiting for this moment my whole life, my whole life.

She then began to look around, apparently to ask her team for help. She then responded to the audience: “I need patience here, patience, where are you, girl? I need patience here! She repeatedly shouted, “Are we ready to make history?” Eventually, a woman on her team handed her the phone, from which she began giving her speech.

What Cardi B said

Cardi B then said she had no plans to vote this year before Harris joined the presidential race. Before President Joe Biden resigned as presidential candidate, Cardi announced she would not vote in the upcoming election and criticized the current administration for sending aid, as she described , to “finance two wars”.

She said: “I didn’t trust any candidate until she joined the race and said the things I wanted to hear – things I want to see next in this country. I believe in every word that comes out of his mouth; she’s passionate, she’s compassionate, she’s empathetic and most importantly, she’s not delusional.
