Kanye West to Hold First Presidential Campaign
US rapper, Kanye West has scheduled his first presidential campaign event in South Carolina.
The event will be held today at the Exquis Event Center in North Charleston and is “for registered guests only.”
According to a statement sighted by ABC News, all attendees will be asked to sign a COVID-19 liability release form, social distance, and wear a mask. Kanye will also be holding a pre-rally press event at his presidential campaign.
Earlier in the day, the Billionaire rapper, 43, tweeted to urge his fans to sign up; as he is looking to acquire signatures to get on the ballot in South Carolina. He wrote:
“Hi guys please sign up to put me on the ballot in South Carolina at any of these locations,” he wrote, sharing a list of locations. “You can also sign up at the website kanye2020.country.”
It’s unclear how Kanye West would qualify to get on the ballot in South Carolina as the deadline to file signatures as an independent candidate was July 15. He has also missed the deadline to qualify for the ballot in several states.
Last week, he filed the necessary paperwork and paid the $35,000 filing to register as an independent candidate in Oklahoma; where the deadline had not yet passed.
