Kanye's 'Biblical Life Coach' vice president candidate

Kanye, 43, had previously named Tidball as her potential vice president candidate back during his submission to Missouri. As per reports, the forms in Arkansas were submitted just 15 minutes prior to the afternoon deadline. Michelle Tidball, 57, has reportedly described herself as a 'Biblical Life Coach' and is based in Cody, Wyoming, the town where Kanye West owns a lavish ranch worth $14 million. Tidball ran a website by the name 'Yarash.org' which is now listed as under construction on the home page as she has been working on cleaning off her web presence, being a potential vice president candidate.

West has evidently set his previous beliefs aside and stated that he longer supports Donald Trump while speaking in an interview with Forbes saying that he will be taking his red MAGA hat off. Some fans had previously believed that West's choice for a vice president would be Elon Musk, given the support the tech billionaire has shown to West. Though Kanye filed papers in Arkansas, he failed to do the same in Kansas. According to the spokesperson for Kansas Secretary of State's office, West needed 5,000 signatures but failed to file papers. Since the deadlines are very strict for a presidential run paper submission, Kanye now can only get votes in the state as a write-in candidate, which is evidently a long shot.
