Kanye West has made an announcement that he is voting in a presidential election for the first time in his life on November 3, 2020. He remarked that he is voting for a person he truly trusts -- himself.
The 43-year-old, who is an Independent presidential candidate in 11 US states including Vermont, Iowa, and Tennessee, tweeted regarding his election day plans.
Voting for the First Time in His Life, Votes for Himself
The musician wrote on Twitter, "God is so good Today I am 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 has never been one to suppress voicing out his opinions. After his announcement of his bid for the presidency, he went quite politically quiet for a couple of months, but this changed on Election Day, reported Elite Daily.
West was listed on California ballots as the American Independent Party's Vice Presidential candidate this 2020 election. Although he was not aware that the AIP had listed him as a running nominee, he voted for himself and presidential pick Rocky De La Fuente on November 3rd.
The rapper filmed himself and posted the footage on social media of him handing in his ballot on Tuesday. West, who is slated to have a guesting on the first post-election day episode of "Jimmy Kimmel Live" on Wednesday night, was believed to have voted in Wyoming where he is not enlisted on the ballot, reported Evening Standard.
He cast his ballot at the Cody Rec Center in the early afternoon of Tuesday. He said he feels "very blessed."
