Cardi B isn’t one to mince her thoughts when it comes to politics. Last week, she called the Democratic party “selfish” for continuing to let President Joe Biden seek re-election later this year.

A clip re-surfaced and Cardi doubled-down on her stance Thursday (July 11) when captioning the post with “Yeup Yeup Yeup” on X. She also voiced her belief that it was time for Vice President Kamala Harris to step in for Biden in the upcoming election.

“I feel like it was very selfish of Biden and the whole Democrat party that they allow Biden to continue to run for president,” she said. “I feel like they should have passed the torch to Kamala [Harris]. This was the perfect moment for her. Right now, I don’t feel like we have strong candidates.”

Cardi continued: “I feel like this would have been her perfect time to shine. We already know she’s sharp with the f–king mouth. Whatever value that Biden wants, she’s practically the same value. So I feel like it was a little bit selfish to not make that choice to give her this moment to run for presidency.”

In the replies, the Bronx native also tweaked her Bardi Gang fanbase’s name to the “Smarty gang.”

Cardi B has been critical of President Biden in the past, but calmed fans’ worries earlier in July when she assured them she’s never going to be a Republican. “I will never turn republican lol,” she replied to a fan on X.

Cardi has criticized the United States’ involvement in the Israel-Hamas war, and she was also critical of Biden’s inaction on the economy as part of her Rolling Stone cover story in May. “I feel like people got betrayed,” she said at the time. “It’s just like, ‘Damn, y’all not caring about nobody.’ Then, it really gets me upset that there is solutions to it. There is a solution. I know there’s a solution because you’re spending billions of dollars on any f–king thing.”

After interviewing and endorsing Biden in the 2020 election, Cardi isn’t supporting either party’s candidates right now. “I don’t f–k with both of y’all n—-s,” she said about Biden and Trump.

While reports emerged earlier in July about Democrats fielding interest in Harris going to the top of the ticket, Biden has said he has no plans to step aside. He addressed the public from the Oval Office on Sunday (July 14) in the wake of the apparent assassination attempt on former president Donald Trump over the weekend in Pennsylvania.

“We can’t allow this violence to be normalized,” Biden said. “The political rhetoric in this country has gotten very heated. It’s time to cool it down. We all have a responsibility to do that … Politics must never be a literal battlefield, God forbid, a killing field.”
