Kanye West will appear as a presidential candidate on Mississippi's ballot in November, after being approved as a qualified candidate by the State Board of Election Commissioners on Tuesday

To qualify in Mississippi, he was required to pay a $2,500 fee to the Secretary of State’s Office and get the signatures of at least 1,000 Mississippi voters.

“It was interesting to see him pick Mississippi, and obviously it will be interesting to see what happens with that vote on Nov. 3,” Mississippi Secretary of State Michael Watson said after the board's meeting. “But he did qualify.” West, who once backed Republican President Donald Trump, announced last month that he had broken with Trump and would launch his own presidential bid. His campaign filed paperwork July 15 with the Federal Election Commission. Neither West or his wife, Kim Kardashian West, were present at the meeting of the Mississippi Board of Election Commissioners Tuesday. ___

The presidential position has been stripped of all it's importance 😔

Meh.

Let's be fair we know what Mississippi is about won't change NOW!!! Pathetic!!!

Mental health disorders must be treated.

Then the Kardashians should be pulled off the air immediately.

They are truly evil taking advantage of a mentally ill man.

More Trump trying to steal the election be hilarious if West pulls voters from Trump and not Biden . Be a miracle if Trump actually admits he lost once he does and more so by big margin

Of course they did

Maybe he can win that state from Trump

Reminded me again, how is it legal for a third parties candidacy to be funded and run by the incumbent presidents party?

That’s too bad.

Who cares? Mississippi is 95% Republicans (not quite). He’s more likely to take votes away from Trump than anyone else.

I can’t believe this

Sounds like Mississippi.

TRUMP 2020!!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Ain’t that a red state anyway Oh joy, that’ll do trump in!🙄🙄

A patsy for Trump's campaign strategy of divide and conquer the young black vote. Hope they see through this and are guided by sane people from within their community.

Oh man, Biden won't win Mississippi now. Damn you Kanye. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

KONYE

You’re welcome Mr Trump.

Why bother?

good grief

Is anyone surprised it’s Mississippi?

Go away, Ye.

What an embarrassing joke. Pathetic.

This is irrelevant. Quit reporting nonsense

I am trying to remain hopeful that very few morons will actually vote for him. We already have an unstable ego maniac in the White House...no room for another.

Whoa. Does this mean that Biden may lose MIssissippi if the vote is now split?

Damn it. He's going to tip Mississippi to Trump.

Lol.

What a joke but not surprising!

Why bother, he needs sectioned.

Why is he even running?

Of course!!

A degradation of process by a wanton would-be manipulator, giving not ONE SHITE for anything but its own self-aggrandizement, supported by 45 psychophants who'll stop at nothing to retain power - disgusting, disgraceful & beneath anyone's dignity who claims to be 'American.'

The american circus is getting bigger... Someday there'll be a show about all this in Vegas...

So it’s not like Joe was counting on Mississippi.

Ridiculous

Mississippi should be ashamed 😖😷

Finally a GOP candidate all the white people in Mississippi can get behind!

So...

Mississippi gonna Mississippi.

Oh no 😜

Confirm kanyewest is not included in the presidential debates.

WHY IN GOD'S NAME, WHY. GO PREACH SOMEWHERE.

Fail.

That outta dry up those 4 Biden votes in that hillbilly shithole.

He doesn’t have a chance at winning.......
