Cardi B Weighs In

Rapper Cardi B is telling her followers to vote for Rep. Jasmine Crockett over state Rep. James Talarico in the Texas Democratic primary for the Senate. It’s not every day a celebrity endorsement makes headlines, but when Cardi B speaks, people listen. She’s using her massive Instagram following to get the word out, saying early primary voting is happening now in Texas and we need Crockett to win.

Why It Matters

Cardi B’s endorsement won’t guarantee Crockett a win, but it’s definitely a boost. She’s got a huge following, and if even a fraction of them show up to vote, it could make all the difference. Talarico’s got his work cut out for him if he wants to sway Cardi B’s fans.
