In spite of conceding defeat, his controversial run went a lot better than many thought it would...
This is something that we were all kind of expecting...
But we're safe in saying that it probably wasn't something that Kanye West wasn't expecting!It turns out that to be president of the United States, you need a lot of experience...
And it seems that the rapper learned this the hard way today. Although a surprising number of people still turned out to vote for the rapper.Now, where do we begin when it comes to Kanye's behavior?
Kanye West has never been afraid of letting his opinion be known and, throughout the years, he has been in and out of the headlines for his strange and eye-opening antics.But, this year, he has had his sights set upon one thing.
In the last couple of years, Kanye has been dabbling in and out of the world of American politics.
But, on July 4th, he took things to the next level.
We must now realize the promise of America by trusting God, unifying our vision and building our future. I am runni… https://t.co/MySzN3vjIB— ye (@ye)1593909493.0

But, regardless of the haters, the rapper has been deadset on his "2020 vision"...
And in July, he hosted his first-ever campaign rally.However, his first campaign proved to be an extremely chaotic and alarming experience.

Kanye, who was clad in a bullet-proof vest with the numbers "2020" shaved into his head, threw his rally in Charleston, South Carolina, where he seemed to whip up various policy decisions right there on the spot... including humiliating his wife and family in the process!He firstly disclosed how he and Kim had discussed the possibility of abortion when she found out she was pregnant with North...
And, even though it is more than likely that Kim did not give her permission to Kanye to disclose this private information, he didn't seem to care.Through tears, Kanye ranted:
via: Twitter
"Then she said, 'I'm pregnant.' I said, 'Yes!' Then I said, 'No.' I gotta tell you what was in my mind. She was crying. She said she was pregnant, and for one month, and two months, and three months, we talked about her not having this child. She had the pills in her hand. When you take the pills, and if you take it, the baby's gone."He acknowledged that Kim may file for divorce following his revelation...
via: Twitter
But, again, he didn't seem to care. "So even if my wife were to divorce me after this speech, she brought North into the world, even when I didn't want to. She stood up, and she protected that child."Kanye was crying so hard, it was difficult to understand what he was saying...

The man was clearly in a lot of pain which arose a lot of concern about him running for president.Kim Kardashian was forced to address Kanye's erratic behavior...
Kim Kardashian just broke her silence about husband Kanye West's bipolar disorder and very public mental health cri… https://t.co/X0uuk1J7Gn— Perez (@Perez)1595428308.0
But the one thing about Kim's statement that really stood out for fans was when she described her family as being "powerless" against Kanye.

"Those that understand mental illness or even compulsive behavior know that the family is powerless unless the member is a minor," she said.It was an understandably terrible time for Kanye and his family...
So his supporters weren't surprised when he stepped down from his campaign and took some time to reconcile with his family.Kanye's presidential campaign was gradually brushed under the carpet...
via: Getty
And it was replaced with the firey face-off between President Trump and Joe Biden.But, behind the scenes...
Kanye's campaign had been reignited... and it was revealed in the last week that he's back in the running for being president!Okay, so Kanye is actually running as a vice-presidential candidate for the American Independent Party...

Yep, in perhaps the most Kanye West move of 2020, the rapper took to Twitter today to reveal that he had voted for someone he "truly trusts"...

He shared this video of his ballot paper being submitted...

Some have slammed Kanye's decision...
@kanyewest Congrats on your wasted vote.— nicole poole (@nicole poole)1604415703.0
And others have urged for Americans to not vote for the musician.
Do not vote for Kanye West, it’s not a joke and it’s not funny— M (@M)1604332807.0
