“Tell me the truth, the hard core truth,” she said of the status of the coronavirus pandemic in America.
Biden, 77, noted the importance of voting, especially getting young people to do so, so that Trump becomes a one-time president.
“In 2016, if 18- to 24-year-olds had voted in the same percentage as the rest of the population, there would have been 5.2 million more votes,” Biden disputed. “It simply came to our notice then [Trump]; we would have had Hillary Clinton. The mood matters. That’s why you keep talking to people about the need to vote. Your generation can own what happens in the next election. They can change things dramatically when they come up and vote. “
The Bronx native said her fans are most interested in “free college and Medicare.” She asked Biden, “When you see the taxes on your check, you do not understand because you feel like you are putting in so many hours. People want to know, can you provide college education, this [health care] plan, without a big chunk of taxes coming out of our controls? “

“If I am elected president, then everyone will have a family [that makes] less than 125 grand, you will get free education, “he said. And everyone gets free community college. “
Cardi also talked about her fears as a Black woman in America and how she already thinks about the safety of her 2-year-old daughter.
“Prejudice is dangerous. It can be the beginning of a civil war. It makes people feel uncomfortable around different people,” she said. “Nobody wants to feel purposeful. Nobody wants hostility. Everyone just wants the best for themselves, their future, their children’s future.”

The Grammy winner emphasized how Black people simply “ask for equality,” honesty and justice. “That’s all,” she said. “I feel that everything people ask is interpreted in a very different way. No, it’s simple: we just want justice. We want to feel like Americans.”
Biden said he is confident the change in the world will come from her generation.
“You are the smartest, the best educated, the least prejudiced, and the most involved generation in history. And you will change things,” he said.
The former vice president then turned his remarks to Trump.
