The Number Of Votes Kanye West Collected In US Presidential Election Revealed, Vows To Return In 2024

November 7, 2020

Joe Biden has won the 2020 US presidential election defeating the incumbent Donald Trump.

Rapper Kenye West, 43, who conceded after his self-styled “Birthday Party” collected just 60,000 votes out of an estimated total of 160 million.

Another independent, Libertarian Jo Jorgensen, made a much stronger showing – claiming more than 1.5 million votes.

But West’s political career may not be over yet. He tweeted “Kanye 2024” this week, signalling another bid to come.

In this first presidential attempt, West appeared on the ballot in 12 states, missing the filing deadline in most others. He gathered the most votes – 10,188 – in Tennessee, a state that typically favours Republican candidates.

When he announced his candidacy in July, West had said that his platform was modelled off Wakanda, the fictional kingdom from Black Panther.

Ending police brutality was a priority, he told Forbes in an interview, as was cleaning up chemicals “in our deodorant, in our toothpaste”, and was focused on protecting America with its “great military”.
