2020 countdown: the Kanye West presidentialfest

We always thought that 2020 would be a crazy year, yet few could predict how the second half would kick off. Enter Kanye West.

On July 4th, the Chicago rapper, producer, and entrepreneur declared he wants to add politician to his resume, saying on Twitter that he’s running for president in 2020. In an interview with Forbes, West said he’s no longer supporting President Trump. He’s taking off the red hat and replacing it with a birthday hat — running under the banner of “the Birthday Party.”
