    Question

    Kanye Omari West, born June 8, 1977, is an American rapper, singer, songwriter, record producer, composer, entrepreneur and fashion designer. West reportedly has a net worth in excess of $1 billion.

    In September 2015, West announced that he intended to run for President of the United States in 2020. However, after the election of Donald Trump in 2016, it appeared that West would sit the 2020 election out, due to his proclaimed support for incumbent Donald Trump, who is seeking re-election in 2020.

    On July 4 2020, West announced on Twitter that he would indeed seek the United States presidency in November 2020.

    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! #2020VISION

    This question asks: How many votes will Kanye West receive in the 2020 United States presidential election, if he appears on the presidential election ballot in at least one US state?

    This question resolves as the reported number of popular votes won by Kanye West in the 2020 US presidential election. In the event that West does not appear on the ballot in at least one US state on election day, this question resolves ambiguously. Any votes cast for West as vice president do not count; only votes for West as president.
