Kanye West Announces 2020 Run for Presidency

Kanye West tweeted Saturday night that he wants to run for president in 2020 — four months before the election and apparently without having filed with the Federal Election Commission or created a campaign committee.

“We must now realize the promise of America by trusting God, unifying our vision and building our future. I am running for president of the United States,” the 43-year-old musician wrote on Independence Day, using the hashtag “2020 vision.”

This is amazing, lmfao.

this will be funny.

He’s a better choose than Biden. TBH I’ll vote for Kanye and that’s not even a joke.

I don't think you'll get the chance. At this point I don't think Kanye is serious.

But who knows.

Even if he was serious. there isn't enough time for him to get on most of the ballots.

I'm already seeing people saying he's doing this in order to try to siphon away black voters from Biden.

These people don't seem to realize how condescending and racist that is.

Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if that was the thinking.

It's silly thinking then.

Why would a black guy planning to vote democrat decide to vote for a trump supporter merely cuz he's also black?

Wouldn't he take votes away from Trump?

I mean, he's not exactly what you'd call in good standing with the left, minorities, or pretty much anyone.

And he did support Trump, so more likely hs siphons votes from him.

Trump is polling better among black people than other modern GOP candidates, yes. But, no, still a very large overwhelming majority of black people are polling in favor of the Democrat.

Black democrats have been quietly waiting for a black trump supporter to throw his maga hat into the mix so they could vote for him instead.

I doubt if Kanye is popular with black people as some people think. He's a bit of an eye sore.

Don't let him get in his zone.

Yeah, don't wanna play the "its cooler to back the guy who everyone hates card"

Having said that, as the days go by I'm starting to like Biden more and more.

Funny guy.

No. Not at all.

Something about Biden lacks the true fire leaders need to embody to be successful. He’s a decent enough politician and has had plenty of experience, but he’s milquetoast and bland not to mention a deeply flawed man with glaring character defects. That’s not even to mention his declining mental ability. In all I said, I don’t hate Biden and actually feel a bit sorry for him; the elderly abuse the Democrats are playing at here is atrocious and vile.

Like what specifically is making you like him?

He's rooting for universal healthcare, ending corrupt politicians, more women in power and equality in general.

Nice guy. Also a bit funny and daft at times.

Ending corrupt politicians.

Lol. Did he plan on dropping out of the race?
