Carson expressed interest in West’s attempt for the presidency, saying that he is “certainly willing to give him a chance” in an interview on ABC’s “This Week.”

Carson complimented West on his business skills and cultural influence as well.

“I talked to him about the possibility of maybe himself and some of the other people in pop culture doing some music that might be uplifting that might give young women a sense of their value and young men a sense of responsibility. I think it could be a tremendous thing in our society,” Carson said.

West has called Carson a “brilliant guy” in a recent Vanity Fair weekend.

Whether Carson would choose West as his running mate remains unclear. Carson isn’t the only person who’s ready for Kanye, as a young Republican has already formed a political action committee to encourage West’s entrance into the race.
