Bound 2 Be President? FourFiveSeconds From the White House? Yeezus Take the Wheel? Kanye West declared at the 2015 VMAs on Sunday, Aug. 30, that he plans to run for president in 2020, so naturally, lots of people -- including White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest -- are wondering what the rapper's campaign might look like.
Earnest was traveling aboard Air Force One with President Barack Obama on Aug. 31 when he was asked about West's out-of-left-field announcement, which came at the end of his long, rambling acceptance speech for MTV's Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award.
Acknowledging the "Black Skinhead" performer's political bid, Earnest told the Associated Press he looks "forward to seeing what slogan he chooses to embroider on his campaign hat."
