Kanye West’s political ambitions aren’t over yet

Thursday, 16 July 2020 13:40

It seems like rapper Kanye West is still in the 2020 US presidential race.

He has apparently qualified to appear on Oklahoma’s presidential ballot after filing the paperwork with the Federal Election Commission.

It comes just hours after reports claiming that West had failed to submit the required documents and was no longer in the race.

He reportedly met the deadline for a spot on Oklahoma state’s November 3 presidential ballot and paid the $35,000 filing.

However, it’s not clear whether West is mounting a serious run or if it’s just a stunt.

The rapper initially announced his entry into the presidential arena in a tweet earlier this month.
