About Kanye running-- I mentioned this earlier, but he's one of 1,112 registered with the FEC...

If he's actually registered, that is.

https://ballotpedia.org/List_of_registered_2020_presidential_candidates

As of June 29, 2020, 1,112 candidates have filed with the Federal Election Commission (FEC) to run for president.[1] This page lists the names of every candidate who has registered with the FEC and their party affiliation.

A candidate for president must be a natural-born citizen of the United States, at least 35 years old, and a resident of the United States for at least 14 years.[2]

A candidate may declare his or her candidacy at any time, but once he or she receives contributions or make expenditures in excess of $5,000, the candidate must register with the Federal Election Commission (FEC) within 15 days.[2]

For a detailed overview of the notable potential and registered 2020 presidential candidates, withdrawn candidates, and historical trends, click here.


Then follows the full list of everyone registered so far.

The Can't-idates: Running For President When Nobody Knows Your Name
by Craig Tomashoff
The Can’t-idates: Running For President When Nobody Knows Your Name is award-winning journalist Craig Tomashoff’s deeply personal and profoundly inspiring chronicle of his 10,000-mile journey across the country to find a unique group of people who know better than most of us what’s really happening in “forgotten America”—some of the 1,800+ FEC-approved 2016 presidential candidates. The media and politicians always dismiss these people as tin foil hat-wearing loonies who live in mom’s basement. And sure, most of them will never get more votes than they can count on their fingers and toes. However, from the biker in Boise to the would-be rapper in Las Vegas to the street preacher in Cleveland, Tomashoff introduces readers to a fascinating group of “Can’t-idates” (citizen candidates who keep getting told what they can’t do), whose faith in the very system that excludes them is what can actually make America great again. As we approach the 2020 election in our increasingly cynical and divisive country, their belief that any of us could still grow up to be president someday isn’t crazy. In fact, that hope is the only thing that can inspire weary voters to believe in politics again.

I'm gonna guess a few big GOP donors have suddenly become very enamored with Kanye's 'ideas'.
