Kanye West has never hidden nurturing more hope for the next presidential election.
“Let's see if the appointment is for 2020 or for 2024, because it's God who appoints the president.
If it's 2020, then I would have been appointed by God, ”
he told
Forbes
in July.
Before that, he even said he had a "100% chance of winning" in 2024.
A few hours before the start of the count, he proudly announced his intention to vote:
“God is so good.
Today, I am voting for the first time in my life for the presidency of the United States, and it is for someone whom I really trust… me ”
.
Kanye West then followed up with a long series of posts including two videos showing his ballot paper and the moment he inserts it into the electronic ballot box.
Between a campaign led under the sign of God and great difficulties in running in all the States, this year's election will have allowed him all the same to take his first steps in politics and to practice for a second attempt.
