The 43-year-old rapper and fashion designer has flirted with running for office before, however West routinely expresses his support for Donald Trump telling GQ just this May he is still “voting on” Trump.
According to ABC News, if Kanye is serious about running for the Oval Office, he will need to run as an independent this close to the election and will need to obtain the necessary signatures to get on November’s ballot.
