If Donald Trump was able to defy expectations and win the presidency in 2016, perhaps Kanye West can do the same in 2020, according to the Australian’s Institute’s Ebony Bennett. Mr West has announced he is running for US president - and he has already won the backing of billionaire Elon Musk. The American rap star posted a message to his 29.4 million Twitter followers in which he suggested he was entering the 2020 presidential race.
It was not immediately clear if Mr West was serious about vying for the presidency four months before the vote takes place on 3 November, or if he had filed any official paperwork to appear on state election ballots. The deadline to add independent candidates to the ballot has not yet passed in many states. US President Donald Trump - who West has been a vocal supporter of in the past - is set to go head-to-head with Democratic candidate Joe Biden in November's election.
