“I had to GET ELECTED TO CONGRESS for me to afford dental treatment,” she captioned her Instagram story. “This is my first time having health insurance in years, and even THEN it didn’t really cover the cost of this — but it did cover other doc appts so I could more easily save. In other words, I got a bag and fixed my teeth,” she went on to say quoting a popular line in “Bodak Yellow.”

Cardi’s endorsement comes months before the progressive congresswoman turns 31 on October 13,  giving her 4 years to meet the 35-year-old requirement to run for president of the United States.
