Bloomberg: “Kanye West roared onto the political stage in July with his presidential bid, prompting speculation the famous rap musician could pull enough votes from Democratic nominee Joe Biden to tip a close contest to President Donald Trump. Now, despite his global star power, West is looking more like a blip in the race than a spoiler, weeks before the Nov. 3 election.”
“West was never seen as a serious contender. Aided by Republican operatives, he got on the ballot in just a dozen states, not enough to compete in the Electoral College. The African-American celebrity may draw some votes from Biden, who enjoys overwhelming support from Black voters, but his impact looks to be limited. Only three of the states where his name is listed — Minnesota, Iowa and Colorado — are considered competitive between Biden and President Donald Trump.”
