Cardi B has already caught the attention of senators and pundits with her takedowns about the Trump administration, and now she’s turning the heads of even more politicians: Polk County Democrats in Des Moines, Iowa. Local newspaper Des Moines Register reports that local Dems initially extended Cardi an invite to speak at one of their receptions while she is in town for her Invasion of Privacy tour in May. They’ve since offered her a more formal invitation via local media.
“We are definitely serious about this,” Polk County Democrats chair Sean Bagniewski told the Register. “She speaks to the new activism in the Democratic Party…Stranger things have happened. It’s a long shot, but a little bit of her presence would go a long way,” he added.
As the center of the IA Caucuses, we have been honored to host @TeamPelosi, @CecileRichards, @KamalaHarris, @SenGillibrand, @PramilaJayapal, @Grace4NY, and many powerful women leaders.
It only makes sense to invite @iamcardib to a reception of her choice while she’s here in May.

On Twitter, Cardi B responded to the invite indirectly, asking her followers, “Should I?”
