On July 2020, Kanye West announced he would run for President, in the upcoming election, as a member of his self-created “Birthday Party”: “Because, when we win”, he told Forbes, “it’s everybody’s birthday”. This claim raised concerns about the rapper’s mental health (West is bipolar) and some critics saw it as an attempt to boost interest in the Republican Party (West publicly supported Donald Trump in 2016). Kanye West still made it to the ballot in 10 states!
