Cardi B awkwardly stalls at Kamala Harris rally as teleprompter problems delay enthusiastic endorsement

Outspoken A-list rapper Cardi B found herself in an awkward moment at a rally for Vice President Kamala Harris on Friday due to teleprompter issues.

The famous white-clad female rapper took the stage in Milwaukee, Wisconsin and immediately paused as the crowd cheered wildly.

‘One second guys. One second!’ she began as the crowd cheered her on.

She took off her white gloves and tried to start speaking, but eventually stopped again after the teleprompter screen went black.

‘OK. So I don’t take the call lightly,” she began, before pausing. “I’m sorry guys, I’m a little nervous. I’m a little nervous guys, I’ve been waiting my whole life, my whole life, for this moment.”

“I need patience here, patience, where are you girl?” she shouted. “I need patience here!”

‘Are we ready to make history?’ she asked repeatedly.

After about 90 seconds of waiting, an assistant finally rushed to the stage to hand her a phone with what appeared to be her prepared remarks on the screen.

“Now I took the time to write my speech, so I wanted to make sure I got it right,” she said.

Cardi B quickly regained her confidence and read her speech over the phone.

“Like Kamala Harris, I too have been the underdog, underestimated, my success belittled and discredited,” she said, praising Harris for “standing up” against bullies.

‘Women have to work ten times harder, perform ten times better and yet people ask us how we got to the top!’ she said.

Cardi B admitted she wasn’t interested in running in the 2024 election, but Harris’ entry into the race changed her mind.

‘I’ll be real with you. This year I didn’t vote. I wasn’t, but Kamala Harris entering the race changed my mind. Totally,” she said.

The rapper famously took photos of President Joe Biden in July when he was running for president. He called him and the Democratic party “selfish” for not stepping aside for Harris.

“I feel like this would have been her perfect moment to shine.” We already know she’s sharp with the damn mouth,” she said in mid-July after Biden’s disastrous debate performance.

She then repeated many familiar themes from the Harris campaign, attacking former President Donald Trump for selling $100,000 worth of watches, sneakers and Bibles from China.

“I’m not giving Donald Trump a second chance,” she said. I’m not taking any chances with my future and I’m certainly not taking any chances with my children. …I’m not giving him the chance! I’m with Kamala!’

Cardi B was one of several celebrities Harris recruited to speak or perform at the campaign event to rally supporters to vote in the final days before the election.

Rapper GloRilla took the stage at a Kamala Harris rally in Milwaukee on Friday, where she performed two of her hits: “Hollon” and “Yeah Glo.”

The more explicit lyrics were censored, but the amount of silenced lyrics left attendees wondering if there were technical issues with her microphone.

Harris urged everyone in Wisconsin to vote, calling out young first-time Gen-Z voters.

“I love Gen-Z,” she said, laughing. ‘This is what I love about you guys. You are rightly impatient when it comes to change. I love that about you!’
