Sen. Bernie Sanders on Monday teamed up with rapper Cardi B to film a 2020 presidential campaign video meant to appeal to young voters.
"We (are) working on a way to involve more young people in the political process," the Vermont independent told CNN in an interview as he arrived for the shoot. "The future of America depends on young people. They are voting in large numbers, but not large enough numbers."
He said he and Cardi B spoke about a range of issues, including canceling student debt, climate change and raising the minimum wage. The video -- filmed at the TEN Nail Bar, a local nail salon owned by two black women -- is the first collaboration between the duo.
After their meeting, Cardi B thanked Sanders on Instagram.
"Thank you Senator Bernie Sanders for sitting with me and sharing your plans on how you will change this country," the rapper wrote.
She added that she asked the senator questions submitted by her fans and hinted to "stay tuned to see how he will fight for economic, racial, and social justice for all."
