Earlier, some reports stated that a source close to Kanye West that 'revealed' that the rapper is considering dropping out of the race after a recent election poll showed him getting less than 2 percent of the votes as he goes up against current US President Donald Trump and presumptive Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden. However, the authenticity of the reports remains dubious.

The 43-year-old singer announced his candidacy informally in a tweet on July 5, stating that he would be running for the President of the United States in the upcoming polls. Later, more details were offered by West during an interview wherein he cleared his stance on several key issues such as being anti-abortion, anti-vaccination, and school prayers.

This is not the first time that Kanye West has claimed that he will run for president. In November 2019, during his collaboration with GAP, Kanye made statements about the progress of the African-American society after which he announced that he would run for the presidency of the United States of America in 2024.
