Kanye West is an artist, producer, record label executive and fashion designer, but that’s apparently not enough for the multi-hyphenate. Now, the hip-hop powerhouse is looking to add another job to his ever-expanding resume: politician.
The rapper took to Twitter on America’s birthday (July 4) to officially announce he is running for the highest office in the land. The superstar began his message by writing, “We must now realize the promise of America by trusting God, unifying our vision and building our future,” and he quickly got straight to the point by stating quite plainly, “I am running for president of the United States!” He then added the hashtag #2020VISION, which may be something he continues to use moving forward.

A journey to where? I don’t think he’s figured that out yet. The guy changes every time you turn around. I wouldn’t trust him, because two weeks from now he could be embracing Islam, Buddhism, or Shintoism.
I wouldn’t go expecting all Democratic black votes going to West.
Roughly 30 to 35 percent of blacks will still vote for Trump...that doesn’t change. I would suggest in California...it won’t matter much (6-percent of voter base is black, and 1/3 of them will go to Trump)....so taking California votes away from Biden doesn’t achieve much.
It’s states like Michigan, Ohio, Virginia, etc....where West might achieve status and take votes from Biden.
But one odd aspect is out there...BLM will confuse their enthusiasts by saying that voting for West, is a no-go. Yet, he is the black candidate.
The hospitalization for “temporary psychosis” may set his campaign back a little.

Well it seems to me the reason why he waited so long was to avoid all that looking into his background and such. No debates no nothing just hi I’m Kanye and vote for me oh and by the way I’m famous..
A Democrat Ross Perot.
Call me an optimist. Dreamer. Whatever. I do not hate the man.
Idk. What I do know is there is much bigger threats to my peace than Kayne West.
Btw, maybe him snatching Taylor’s mic wasn’t such a terrible thing eh? In 20/20 hindsight.
That’s not the plan. The plan is for him to peel off black Trump voters.
Wonder if that’s the idea?
I'll believe he has been divinely inspired if he can get his wife to keep her clothes on.
She has since he’s been with her right? He’s probably an extremely forgiving person. That’s a pretty admirable trait in my book.
He mentioned running in 2024 before. Given he’s missed the 2020 deadline, gotta think he means 2024.
Dude has a TON of sway. Still top 50 on Twitter even after being silent for last 1-2 yrs in regards to politics.
Trump won with 8% of the black vote. Kanye came out as a Trump fan after. Trump now hovers around 30% approval from likely black voters. In part due to Kanye’s now silenced voice. Which is sad. If they can shut Kanye up for dissent against the democrat party, just damn.
I’ll listen to the dude in 2024. I don’t care what ticket, the guy has issues (who doesn’t) but spits his truth. And I tend to like it lately.
Get campaign slogan: “Kanye for President of Kenya”
Catchy, isn’t it?
Kanye West - all over the place but probably a nice guy
Col. Al West - hero
Prof. Cornell West - academic fraud and human brillo-pad
agree-if this is not a stunt -it will pull from Biden
Whut?
It is
A) Publicity stunt, not really gonna run
B) Wants to help Trump by taking votes from Biden (libs seems to think so)
C) Wants to help Biden by talking votes from Trump
D) He’s just nuts
?
Optimistic projections aside there is little reason to believe Trump is gonna break out with the black vote, especially now.
And little reason to believe anyone other than blacks or young white idiots would vote for West. He might attract nonvoters the most, which wouldn’t effect the outcome.
He’ll siphon more votes from so-called “Republicans” than from Democrats. He’s hoodwinked everyone on his “conversion,” which is just a publicity scam to solidify his brand name, but today’s stupid Evangelicals will believe him.
This is not good, if true.
Biden already promised the VP post to a “womyn.” He’d majorly tick off the feminist contingent of the D base if he went back on that.
