Back in 2015, you might remember Kanye announced at the MTV VMA’s that he was planning to run for President in 2020. Well, a lot has happened in those five years, but it looks like Kanye has not forgotten his promise.

Kanye took to Twitter on the Fourth of July to announce his 2020 bid for POTUS. “We must now realize the promise of America by trusting God, unifying our vision and building our future. I am running for president of the United States.”

Tesla Motors owner, Elon Musk, then co-signed Kanye saying that Kanye has his full support.

However, Kanye’s presidential bid was met with a lot of backlash. While there is not a deadline on when you can run for president, Joe Biden has already received the Democratic Party nomination. People were also opposed to Kanye running due to the very important nature of the upcoming election. If people really want to get Trump out of office, the best thing to do is not to split the votes. And there are surely people who might vote for Kanye as a joke or because of his celebrity.

Maybe you might want to wait until 2024 Mr. West

The 41st President of the United States George H.W. Bush has died. Reactions to the world leader’s passing have been ongoing since the news broke on Friday (Nov. 30), and on Twitter, those thoughts have been quite varied.

Bush, who was a two-term Vice President to the late Ronald Reagan, began his political career in 1963 in his native state of Texas, going on to become a congressman at the U.S. House of Representatives before going into a failed bid for a U.S. Senate seat. He remained a visible and popular member of the Republican Party, becoming the chairman of the Republican National Committee in 1973. In 1976, Bush was named Director of the Central Intelligence Agency.

After a failed bid to gain his party’s nomination for president in 1980, Bush was named Reagan’s running mate and the pair served from 1981 to 1989. Bush served one term as president, losing his post to President Bill Clinton, who went on to serve two terms.

Twitter users have both politely given salutes to President Bush but others are definitely going for critique as well. We’ve collected some of the responses below.
