Kanye West Reportedly Drops Out Of 2020 Presidential Race

https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/kanye-west-reportedly-drops-out-of-2020-presidential-race-news.114307.html

Kanye West is reportedly "out" of the Presidential Race after making a late attempt to be added to the ballot in Florida.

Well, that was short-lived.

Two weeks ago, Kanye West announced that he would be running to become President of the United States in 2020. Unveiling his campaign goals, West preached an anti-vaccination and anti-abortion stance, which divided his fanbase even further. He was already too late to run in six states and, with the deadline rapidly approaching in several others, West made a last-ditch effort to get his name added to the ballot in Florida and South Carolina. Apparently, it all ended up being too much for him because, according to Intelligencer, he decided to bow out gracefully.

Getting their information from multiple campaign professionals, Intelligencer reported that Kanye had taken steps to have his name included on the ballot as a third-party candidate. The outlet had learned from somebody on Ye's team that they would be spending time in Florida to get the required number of signatures to be added to the ballot. That would have meant 132,781 signatures in less than a week to hit the July 15 deadline.

i can't imagine going from Melania right to the Kardashians.

We don't have enough taxpayers to support those golddiggers.

Damn.

Attention-seeking ass, though he may be, he's clearly struggling mentally. Lots of talent being wasted. I hope he gets help or has an epiphany at some point in his life. Otherwise, I'm really tired of hearing from him and about him.

No more splitting of the Trump vote.

All three West voters will probably vote for Trump, and poor Joe Biden can‘t count on a single one of them.
