Kanye West concedes presidential race — but already has sights on 2024.
Kanye West threw in the towel on his presidential run in the 2020 election and hinted at another long-shot bid four years from now — though he didn’t get many votes this time.
West made the concession in a tweet after appearing on the ballot in a dozen states in the presidential election between Democratic nominee Joe Biden and President Trump.
“WELP,” West said in the tweet. “KANYE 2024.”
West notched more than a thousand votes in all of the 12 contests he was in, according to preliminary tallies by the Associated Press.
In Colorado, West got nearly 6,000 votes in a state that went to Biden. In Vermont, another state that went to Biden, West got more than 1,200 votes, according to the tally.
In Arkansas, he got 3,979 votes; in Idaho, 2,309; in Iowa, 3,179; in Kentucky, 6,259; in Louisiana, 4,837; in Minnesota, 6,796; in Mississippi, 3,009; in Oklahoma, 5,587; in Tennessee, 10,188; and in Utah, he got 4,053 votes, according to the preliminary tallies.
West announced earlier Tuesday that he voted for himself, the first time he had cast a ballot in a US presidential election.
“God is so good … Today I am voting for the first time in my life for the President of the United States, and it’s for someone I truly trust…me,” he tweeted.
