Rapper Kanye West said that he is running for president of the United States.
West, 43, used the hashtag #2020VISION, suggesting that he intends to run this year.
“We must now realize the promise of America by trusting God, unifying our vision, and building our future. I am running for president of the United States,” he wrote on Twitter on the Fourth of July.
After posting the tweet, West gained the support of Telsa CEO Elon Musk, who responded: “You have my full support.”
However, its not clear if West has filed the paperwork to formally join the race between President Donald Trump and the presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden. West previously expressed his support for Trump and also has been spotted wearing a “Make America Great Again” hat.
Its also not clear if West, who is the husband of Kim Kardashian West, has a campaign staff or manager.
After an hour, Wests post was retweeted more than 400,000 times, which included speculation that West might draw black voters away from Biden and help Trump.
