Kanye West announced 2020 presidential run July 4, 2020 via tweet. Ran as Birthday Party candidate (missed ballot deadlines in most states). Bizarre rally in South Carolina: cried discussing abortion, claimed Harriet Tubman “didn’t free slaves.” Kim defended his mental health struggles publicly. Kanye got 60,000 votes across 12 states. Widely seen as spoiler attempt or manic episode. Revelations later emerged of Republican operatives helping him get on ballots to siphon Black votes from Biden.
