THAT WAS QUICK! If you were alone on a desert island somewhere for the past 2 weeks and had no communication with the outside world, you would never have known that Kanye had put his name in the hat to run for president.

Kanye West has dropped his 2020 presidential bid, according to a new report.

The 43-year-old rapper's campaign has reportedly been suspended less than two weeks after he shocked the nation with a tweet that confirmed his decision to run for president of the United States in November.

According to a new report from Intelligencer, a "get-out-the-vote specialist" named Steve Kramer claims West is already "out" after the Yeezy founder hired both "paid and volunteer" staff to help him secure signatures in Florida and South Carolina to get him on the ballot.
