Kanye West, now going by Ye, has officially withdrawn his second presidential campaign, according to his personal attorney, Bruce Marks.
The decision comes after a challenging first run for the rapper in 2020. Marks shared that Ye “is not a candidate for office in 2024,” indicating the end of his campaign efforts.
Ye’s initial campaign was marked by a late entry under the “Birthday Party” banner, limited ballot access in only 12 states, and a relatively low-profile campaign despite his immense popularity.
His election performance yielded just 60,000 votes nationwide, despite a significant financial investment.
The rapper’s recent campaign appeared to lack funding, as his Federal Election Commission filing indicated no allocation of funds for primary expenditures and minimal cash-on-hand.
An unnamed source mentioned the possibility of Ye changing his mind, the absence of an organized campaign structure suggests a definitive end to his presidential aspirations.
Neither Ye nor his attorney had commented on the reported withdrawal at the time of the article’s publication.
