Kanye spends nearly $6M on presidential campaign
Rapper Kanye West is pouring in millions of his own money and hiring prominent political operatives to fuel his independent presidential bid, according to his first financial filing with the Federal Election Commission.
West’s campaign is almost entirely self-funded. The rapper reported loaning his campaign nearly $6.8 million and receiving just over $11,000 in outside contributions. He reported spending $5.9 million and has over $1.2 million in outstanding debt owed to consultants.
The majority of the campaign’s expenses have been to get on ballots in states across the country. His campaign reported paying $4.4 million for various ballot access-related expenses. He’s currently on the ballot in a handful of states, and has litigation pending in others.
Much of his expenses are going to a handful of firms. He reported paying nearly $1.3 million to Atlas Strategy Group — the firm of Gregg Keller, a prominent Republican operative who has helmed major conservative groups and worked on campaigns for Republicans like Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) and former President George W. Bush.
