Kanye Omari West: The Rapper: I trust Kanye West more than Biden Trump: “It shouldn’t be difficult” for Kanye West to take away the votes of Biden Trump in Kanye West’s presidential race: “He will always be for us” MORE He received 2 percent of the vote in a national presidential poll conducted by Redfield & Wilton Strategies after the megastar announced that he was going to present a late offer for the White House.
Respondents were asked for the first time who they would vote for in November, not to mention West’s name.

Respondents then received help again, the pollster told The Hill.
This time, Redfield and Wilton mentioned West, asking, “If Kanye West is on their state’s ballot in the presidential election on November 3, 2020, who will they vote for?”
In that iteration, Biden led the win from 48 percent to 39 percent, while West and Jorgensen garnered 2 percent support.

The poll was conducted on July 9, less than a week after West’s Independence Day tweet declared its intention to launch its campaign.
We must now fulfill America’s promise by trusting God, unifying our vision, and building our future. I am running for President of the United States! # 2020VISION

In a subsequent interview with Forbes, West, once an ardent Trump supporter, said he was “taking off his red hat”, referring to the President’s signature “Make America Great Again” that West has worn publicly in the past.
“Sounds like a big mess to me,” West, 43, continued. “One of the main reasons I wore the red hat as a protest against the segregation of votes in the black community … Also, aside from the fact that I like Trump hotels and saxophones in the lobby.”
Although West says he is running for president, it is still unclear if his campaign will materialize. One of the main obstacles West faces is putting his name on the ballot. Half of the state’s filing deadlines have passed, and several more are due this week and next.
New York magazine reported that West had a team in Florida last week trying to get enough signatures for him to vote in the Sunshine State. To appear on the ballot in November, West would need 132,781 signatures by tomorrow, July 15.
However, political strategist Steve Kramer, who was part of the signature-gathering effort, told the publication Thursday that West was “out.”
West argued in his Forbes interview that he should have more time to present due to the coronavirus pandemic.
