Kim supports Kanye’s presidential bid

Kim Kardashian has finally pledged her support to her husband Kanye West after he announced he plans to run for president. On Thursday, Kim was pictured looking tense as she filmed scenes for Keeping Up With The Kardashians.

The reality star, 39, took to Twitter on Friday to retweet a video of the rapper, 43, explaining to citizens of America how to register to vote.

Kim’s public support to her husband comes amid claims both she and the family are ‘ very concerned’ about Kanye, who appears to be ‘in the middle of a serious bipolar episode.’

In the video, Kanye said: ‘Hey what’s up everybody, I’m here at the County Clerk’s office. I wanted to show you how I just registered to vote.’

The Stronger hitmaker continued: ‘There’s a lot of people who think they can’t vote they’re a convicted felon but they can actually ask for their rights back.’

Kanye’s video comes after fears were raised over his mental health after announcing his decision to run for president via Twitter at the weekend and taking part in a controversial Forbes interview. In the piece, Kanye slammed Planned Parenthood as an organisation run by ‘ white supremacists to do the Devil’s work’, drawing widespread criticism online.

TMZ claims the father-of-four suffers from a serious episode around once a year, resulting in his decision- making being impacted. The site reports: ‘ Kanye announced he’s running for president via Twitter over the weekend, and also did a rambling interview with Forbes ... which drew harsh criticism, confusion and concern.

‘Our sources say his family and those close to him are worried, but they believe things will stabilize as they have in the past.

‘ The problem here, is that Kanye’s proclamations are causing problems.’

Another insider said that West was doing well before this episode.

‘Kanye has been doing well for a long time. In the past, he has suffered both manic and depressive episodes related to his bipolar disorder. Right now, he is struggling again,’ a source told People. Kim is said to be ‘worried’ about the rapper, whose behaviour is putting an immense amount of stress on her. ‘Kim is concerned, as well as her whole family. It’s super stressful for Kim, because Kanye’s behaviour is very unpredictable. She is worried,’ the source went on.

‘The episodes usually last for a few weeks and then things go back to normal. Kim hopes it will be the same this time.’

Kanye has been married to Kim since 2014, and the couple have four children, North, seven, Saint, four, Chicago, two, and Psalm, 14 months.
