Kanye West has ended his 2020 presidential run, according to new report in New York Magazine’s Intelligencer. The report cites Steve Kramer — hired by West to get him on the ballot in Florida and South Carolina — who told the magazine, “he’s out.”
A representative for West didn’t immediately return a request for comment from TheWrap on whether he had ended his campaign.
West gave a wide-ranging interview to Forbes last week in which he renounced his support for President Donald Trump and said he would be running for the presidency on the “Birthday Party” ticket.
“I am taking the red hat off, with this interview,” said the rapper, who has famously supported Trump and met with him at Trump Tower and in the Oval Office.
