I agree that if he does run he will hurt Biden far more than Trump.

I thought the following video of Stone mountain "protest" was far more interesting.
Black guys with Black rifes will really scare the Karens of America.
Doesn't scare me, but I think everybody has a right to own guns regardless of race.
It is what you do with that tool that we can regulate.
The rapper is rich enough to run Third party and would demolish the Democrats.
Even if he was a Write in.  I'd consider voting for him. If he is pro 2A all
the way.

The left labeled him a "race traitor" since he doesn't tow the "party line"  I'd vote for him over Biden any day of the week

I think that is the plan.  He's running interference.

I was surprised to read that Kanye was a Trump supporter. Maybe he will run just to pull votes from Biden and not care about getting elected.

3rd party candidates are a real nightmare for the 2 major contestants when they approach the final lap of the election campaign.

Biden in this case should be very concerned.

Is it true that I heard he missed the deadline to be added in to the primary ballot?  Not sure about this.

Maybe he's testing the waters for a 2024 presidential run also?  Kim Kardashian as first lady?
I think, therefore I am armed.

I doubt Joe knows who she is.

I think the first time he fondles his running mate on national TV will be the final straw for his campaign.

I think that's why the campaign is dragging its feet about choosing a VP candidate -- so Creepy Joe's not on stage with her -- within groping distance.   :shake:

It is too late for Kanye or anyone else to get on the ballot in just a handful of states.  He can still run as a 3rd party candidate in more than 40 states.  At this point he doesn't need to win.  All he has to do is draw a few million votes from Biden, which I think he is capable of doing and his buddy The Donald will get re-elected again.

Bush Sr. lost to Slick Willy in part (mostly?) because Perot syphoned off enough "Anti-Dem" votes from Bush to give Clinton the win.  Clinton did not get 50% of the popular vote but managed a majority of electorals.

Hillary still blames Jill Stein (that Russian puppet!! :rofl:) for "stealing" votes from her.  She still believes there's no way she lost -- someone else has to be responsible for her losing an "un-lose-able" race!

Kanye doesn't often refer to his race.  Although many Blacks might identify with him, he's not one to pander based on that alone.  Not sure how many Black votes he'll manage to "steal" from Biden -- especially after the lackluster performance of the last Black&White President.  Maybe skin color isn't going to be enough to beat the "Not Trump" feelings, and Biden gets those Black's votes anyway.

Hildabeast was supposed to win, therefore many Clinton voters may have stayed home thinking she had it in the bag no matter what.  Others who might have voted (D) really didn't like her, so they stayed home.  This time, the worst that could happen to Trump (and the nation) is for his supporters to believe he has the election in the bag, too.  If his voters stay home, it's the same as voting for Biden by default.

Turn-out will be the deciding factor in a close race.  I think the more people Kanye gets to vote who weren't planning to vote anyway, the less it hurts either side.  The bigger factor will be if his association with Trump helps, or hurts, his final tally.  Either way, a Kanye campaign will keep the press occupied and less focused on Biden, which gives Biden an advantage:  less chance people will see his dementia's getting worse.
