The video began with Sanders asking what Cardi B thought of his nails – to which she replied: “Quarantine!”

“I can tell you’ve been on quarantine for a while with your nails – but it’s OK Uncle Bernie,” Cardi B added, leaving him to laugh in response.

She then explained how “hurt and upset” she was when he dropped out of the Democratic race.

Discussing the impact of the global pandemic the ‘Bodak Yellow’ rapper questioned Sanders on when the USA will come out of lockdown and go back to normal. He replied: “Nobody is going to be turning on a switch and America returns to where it was.”

This comes after Bernie and Cardi’s previous conversation last year which focused on police brutality, healthcare, student debt, and more.

Sanders has dropped out of the presidential race and endorsed Biden.
