Grammy-winning rapper Kanye West might have just had the shortest-lived run for United States president – ever. The rap heavyweight has reportedly bowed out of running for the head of state in 2020.
Kanye West x Election
According to Tuesday night reports, Mr. West isn’t looking to run the world anymore. The hip-hop star pulled out of the chance to take on current Republican president Donald Trump.
Kanye West has reportedly withdrawn from the US presidential race, less than two weeks after announcing that he would run. A member of West’s campaign team, Steve Kramer, has reportedly told New York Magazine’s Intelligencer off-shot that the rapper will no longer contest the election. “He’s out,” Kramer told Intelligencer.

High-Key Details
The reports come just a day after Kanye’s polling numbers went public. Yeezy received just two percent of the vote in a national presidential poll put together by Redfield & Wilton Strategies.
Respondents of the poll were first asked who they would vote for in November, without mentioning West’s name. In that iteration of the survey, presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden led President Trump 48 percent to 40 percent, while third-party candidates Jo Jorgensen, a Libertarian, and Howie Hawkins, a member of the Green Party, each earned 1 percent support. Voters were then prompted again, the pollster told The Hill. This time, Redfield & Wilton mentioned West, asking, “If Kanye West is on the ballot in your state in the Presidential Election on 3 November 2020, for whom will you vote?” In that iteration, Biden led trump 48 percent to 39 percent, while West and Jorgensen each garnered 2 percent support.
