Kanye West has conceded defeat in the US presidential election after getting a little more than 57,000 votes on Tuesday, though he hinted that he’ll run for the elections is 2024.
The rapper posted a picture of himself on Twitter in front of an electoral map saying ‘WELP KANYE 2024.’
Earlier, he tweeted “voting for the first time in my life for the President of the United States, and it’s for someone I truly trust … me.” He later posted a video of himself casting his vote in Cody, Wyoming, where he wrote himself in on the ballot.
The rapper got onto the presidential ballot in a handful of states, although not in battlegrounds like Florida, Pennsylvania and Michigan. He has spent recent weeks instructing followers how to vote for him as a write-in candidate elsewhere.
West’s wife Kim Kardashian did not appear to be supporting his bid. She has given no public endorsements of her husband and on Tuesday she retweeted a message about voter hotlines from Democratic vice presidential contender Kamala Harris.
The rapper was once one of Trump’s biggest celebrity supporters, launched his campaign for the White House in July with erratic statements that raised concerns over his mental health. The 21-time Grammy Award winner said in 2018 that he suffers from bipolar disorder. West loaned $6.7million to his campaign, according to a filing with the Federal Election Commission, and in a recent video emphasized religion and family values.
