Cardi B and Vermont senator Bernie Sanders got together before the Democratic presidential debate on Tuesday to make a video addressing many hot topics.
Cardi has recently been voicing concerns about certain political issues such as legislative changes for social security, which she discussed in a GQ interview back in 2018.
Sanders has since praised the rapper for her newly found involvement in politics, most notably during an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live!
“She is really smart. And she is deeply concerned about what’s happening in this country,” Sanders said . “She wants to make sure we improve life for working people in this country, and I’m delighted that she is a supporter.”
The campaign video was filmed at a black-owned nail salon in Detroit called TEN Nail Bar, according to CNN. Sanders said the video was made in the hopes of increasing voter registration among young Americans for the 2020 election.
“We are working on a way to involve more young people in the political process,” Sanders said. “The future of America depends on young people. They are voting in large numbers, but not large enough numbers.”
The two discussed several hot topics such as increasing minimum wage, getting rid of student debt and spreading awareness about climate change.
Sanders took to Twitter after the encounter to reflect.
“Today, Cardi B and I finally met,” Sanders tweeted. “We had a great conversation about the future of America. And let me tell you: Cardi B is right. Together, we’ll get millions of young people involved in the political process and transform this country. Stay tuned for our video coming soon!”
Cardi B also jumped on social media, stating that a majority of questions that she asked during the interview were from her followers.
The video has yet to be released.
