Biden went on to quote Cardi B’s favorite president, Franklin Roosevelt, as he insisted the United States is a pivotal point where progress cam be made.

“Presidents have to take responsibility. I understand one of your favorite presidents is Franklin Roosevelt. Roosevelt said the American people can take anything if you tell them the truth.

During that interview, Sanders discussed the emphasis of his presidential campaign which was geared toward a more progressive America.

Cardi B was a fierce supporter of the Vermont Senator due to his advocation for universal Health Care, tuition-free college, and the cancellation of student loan debt.

While all of Sanders’ initiatives may not come to fruition in the near future, he and Cardi B have taken a similar stance on the current state of the presidential election. Cardi B admitted that she just wants “Trump out.”
