Kanye West Seeks Donations for 2020 Bid Amid Possibility of Failing to Get on the Ballot in Illinois

Kanye West is seeking donations that will help his 2020 presidential campaign through outlined objectives on his website despite the possibility of failing to get on the ballot in Illinois

According to TMZ, West seeks donation so he can become the 46th POTUS. The rapper was making a pitch by giving his opinions on various issues that both Republicans and Democrats play.

Ye named his website "Creating a Culture of Life," which seeks contributions of $20-$1000. West posted, "Restore faith and revive our Constitutional commitment to freedom of religion and the free exercise of one's faith, demonstrated by restoring prayer in the classroom, including spiritual foundations."

West's campaign seemed to be about freedom of religion that includes his stand with anti-abortion. This position is likely to target Republican voters, as per TMZ. Also, Kanye West promised to place American's best interest first and foremost and vows to maintain a strong national defense.

However, Kanye pivots to the Democrats with his promise to reduce household debt and student loan debt. West also wants to reorganize the educational system by opening to "at-risk and vulnerable populations," written to his platform.

The hip hop singer stands on promoting policies that will treat all Americans reasonably regardless of color, race, or ethnicity. Lastly, he vows to protect the environment by promoting clean air and water and renewables.

Meanwhile, Kanye's paperwork was reported to fall far short of the required number of signatures to appear on the Illinois presidential ballot. To make it to the ballot, Ye needs to file 2,500 valid signatures from Illinois voters. On Friday, the state elections board reviewed the 3,218 signatures and found out that 60% or 1,928 were invalid.

The process will take two weeks to determine if West will appear on the ballot in Illinois, as per Chicago Tribune. The preliminary findings on Friday go to a hearing examiner assigned to make recommendations if the West should stay on the ballot. The advice is expected to be released within ten days. Then, Illinois State Board of Elections will vote on the recommendation, which might be at the August 21 meeting.

The binder checks or verification of signatures have carried much weight on hearing the examiner's recommendation if a person is qualified to make the ballot. One of the lawyers, Ed Mullen, challenged West's petitions through a Twitter post on Friday saying that West will surely be kicked off the ballot in Illinois.

According to MSN, the Chicago-raised rapper's late bid for the White House is an attempt to take votes from the Democratic candidate Joe Biden.

In an interview with Forbes on Thursday, West acknowledged being a spoiler in the coming 2020 election.

On the other hand, Chicago Tribune reported that Kanye West seemed to get support from Republican operatives to get on the ballot as an independent candidate in some states.

Latin Post recently reported that President Donal J. Trump stated that he likes Kanye West "very much." However, the president denied being involved with Kanye's campaign.
