Kanye West, Who Was Never In The Presidential Race, Is Possibly Out Of The Presidential Race

July 15, 2020 / Posted by:
It’s been less than two weeks since Kanye West threw his MAGA hat into the dumpster and tossed his MAPEM (Make America Puke Even More) hat into the presidential ring and promised to give Joe Biden and Donald Trump some competition. Kanye followed that certified STUNT QUEEN stunt with a Forbes interview where he let us know he has removed his tongue from Trump’s MAGA-hole, is against vaccines, is against abortion, isn’t running for president as a stunt to promote his new album, and will model the U.S. government after Wakanda from Black Panther. Many laughed at Kanye wanting to use Wakanda as an important tool in his presidency, but um, Trump inadvertently uses Idiocracy as an important tool in his presidency, so…. Kanye also denied that he’s mentally unwell even though sources claim he’s going through a bipolar disorder.
But it looks like President Yeezy is a thing that will not happen anytime soon because there are claims that his campaign is as dead as Pimp Mama Kris’ soul. You’re probably bubbling on the inside with pure SHOCK over this surprising development. Or you’ve just got the farts from reading about another Kardashian story. BUT WAIT, TMZ says he’s still making moves to join the presidential election circus.

It turns out that Kanye2020 wasn’t a total empty stunt. Steve Kramer, who runs a company that helps candidates get on the ballot, tells New York Magazine that he was hired by the Kanye campaign to get Kanye on the ballot in Florida and South Carolina. At the time that Kanye announced he was running, he hadn’t filed the paperwork and had already missed the deadline to get on the ballot in several states. But Steve says that Kanye got a team together, including some lawyers and both paid and unpaid volunteers, to get signatures. But then Kevin let NYM know that Kanye was out of the race and added this:

“I have nothing good or bad to say about Kanye. Everyone has their personal decision about why they make decisions. Running for president has to be one of the hardest things for someone to actually contemplate at that level.” He noted the obstacles that a first-time candidate faces, and “any candidate running for president for the first time goes through these hiccups.”

Kramer noted that the staff he had hired were disappointed not just because they would be out of a job, but because they were excited about what a Kanye West campaign represented.

TMZ, however, says that Kanye filed Form 1, Statement of Organization with the Federal Election Commission today, stating that the Kanye2020 committee is the official committee of candidate Kanye West. And as expected, he’s running under the Birthday Party. But Kanye still needs to file Form 2, Statement of Candidacy, which is apparently more important than Form 1 and will give him official candidacy status under federal law. He just has to show that he’s raised or spent at least $5000 toward his campaign.

If Kanye filed that second form, he still won’t make the ballot in several states. And there’s that poll that says that out of 2,000 people, 2% said they’d vote for Kanye compared to Biden’s 48% and Trump’s 39%. Kanye apparently took votes away from Trump. 2% is considered a flop and I have to agree but only because that’s only 40 people. Pimp Mama Kris’ powers of evil must be weakening if she wasn’t able to fix the poll to claim that Kanye was at 102%.

But even though Kanye isn’t going to be on the ballot in all states, if any states at all, people can still write him in. Since that’s the case, Area 51 should beef up their security even more, because if Kanye wins from write-ins, we’ll all storm that bitch to free the aliens and beg those aliens to take us to their home planet.
