U.S. Election: Donald Trump Gets Another Challenger As Kanye West Declares to Run For US President

Just when you thought 2020 couldn’t get any weirder, rapper Kanye West declared his candidacy for US president.

Kanye West who is an artist, producer, record label executive and fashion designer, has taken a step further to becoming the number citizen of the US.





The unlikely challenger to Donald Trump – of whom he has been a vocal supporter – and Joe Biden, chose American independence day to make the surprise announcement on Twitter, triggering a social media storm.


The 43-year-old, artist, who is the husband of the reknown media personality, Kim Kardashian, said:




"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 !"




Meanwhile, Elon Musk, the chief executive of electric-car maker Tesla and another celebrity known for eccentric outbursts, endorsed West's Twitter post: "You have my full support!" he wrote.

However, some analyst said Kanye West's declaration will draw down votes that could have possibly gone to another Presidential candidate, Joe Biden.




Do you think Kanye West can pull a surprise, come November 2020 ?
