Kanye West, husband of Kim Kardashian, announced his decision to run for president of the United States, four months after the election.


It was public knowledge that the United States presidential elections were going to be at odds, but what Donald Trump and Joe Biden probably didn't count on is having Kanye West as a rival.

The rapper made the announcement just four months after the appointment with the ballot box and through his Twitter account. "Now we must make America's promise come true by trusting God, unifying our vision and building a future. I am running for President of the United States," wrote Kim Kardashian's husband in a message to all his followers .

On July 4, Independence Day in that country, the rapper shared that he will expand his resume this year by starting his political career.

The 43-year-old producer and designer took advantage of the holiday for the big news. Also in his tweet he added the hashtag # 2020Vision (Vision 2020) which could work as a kind of slogan for his future campaign.

And although it may seem hasty, they did not take long to promise him votes. In addition to his multiple followers, Tesla owner Elon Musk replied, "You have my full support."

It should be noted that this announcement is not a complete surprise since the artist had already expressed a few years ago his desire to compete for the most powerful office in the country.

It was in 2015 the first time he informed his followers that he would take a step towards politics, during an MTV Video Music Awards speech. That time, he revealed that his campaign would start in 2020.

In addition, it is not the first time that the media marriage flirts with politics. Kanye went on to express his support for the current President Donald Trump, later clarifying in an interview that everything was a strategy to provoke the Democrats and already then made his intentions clear, "The time will come when I am President of the United States and I will remember (...) to each founder who did not have the ability to understand what we were doing. "

For his part, Kim, who has been fighting for a long time for a reform of the penitentiary system, has already been in the oval office and also with a fruitful result since he got the president to change the life sentence to a woman convicted of a non-violent crime.

In recent years, West has come under fire for being a staunch advocate of politics and the figure of current President Donald Trump, explaining that if he had voted, it would have been for him. For two years, West praised the president in interviews, and even visited him in 2018 during a meeting at the White House to discuss violence and the U.S. prison system.

Wearing a red cap with the slogan " Make America Great Again ", the musician then described the American president as a hero and thanked him for making him feel like "Superman".

However, at the end of the same year West retracted his words and distanced himself from President Trump, 74.

"Now I have my eyes wide open and now I realize that I have been used to spread messages that I do not believe in. I am distancing myself from politics and I am completely focused on being creative," he tweeted in October. After this, the Grammy winner distanced himself from politics.

But his political ambitions were made public again last November during a design event. Kanye explained that when he ran for president (in 2024), everything would be very easy because it would create so many jobs.

"When I ran for president in 2024, we would have created so many jobs that I won't be going to be a career, it will be a walk," he said last year. However, apparently he does not want to wait one more cycle to announce his candidacy.

West made no further comment, so it is not yet known how serious his contest is. But, seriously, West will have to specify if he has a campaign team and, if in line with the political principles he has defended, he would be a rival to Trump, whose nomination by the Republican Party is taken for granted.

For now, Twitter users are already mentally preparing to see a first family led by Kim Kardashian and Kanye West.
