Kanye West is dropping his 2020 presidential bid less than two weeks after it began, according to a New York Magazine report
.The 43-year-old rapper had hired Kramer, a “get-out-the-vote specialist,” to help get onto ballots by gathering signatures in Florida and South Carolina after he announced in a July 4th tweet that he was running for president.
While Kramer said the team “had overwhelming support to get him on the ballot” in the two states, West’s decision to enter the race came after the Federal Election Commission deadline to appear on several state ballots had already passed. “Everyone has their personal decision about why they make decisions. Running for president has to be one of the hardest things for someone to actually contemplate at that level,” he said.
