Kanye West is heading South for his first political event.

The rapper and former avowed supporter of President Donald Trump will hold the first presidential campaign event of his own Sunday in South Carolina, according to a campaign document obtained by POLITICO.

West will host the afternoon stop at the Exquis Event Center in North Charleston for registered guests only. All attendees will be required to wear masks, observe social distancing and sign a Covid-19 liability release form.

West, who announced his White House campaign on the Fourth of July, filed a statement of candidacy with the Federal Election Commission last week, listing “BDY” — the Birthday Party — as his party affiliation. He tweeted Saturday for supporters to get him on the ballot in South Carolina.

1. Didn't he quit?

28. Bi polar and off his medication. Kanye is in one day and out the next.

[Pachamama]

2. Mentally ill man who siphoned PPE funds for personal gain having a bipolar episode publically wants

....to run for POTUS with 3 months left till Election Day....

Seriously?

[dalton99a]

4. His running mate:

[progressive nobody]

7. ....

[keithbvadu2]

10. Run - FAR!

[lonely bird]

18. Biblical Life Coach?

(feeds through universal translator)

Ah, scam artist.

[SergeStorms]

26. So there you have it....

it's the "Birthday Party's" Oddball and Tidball dynamic duo throwing their considerable world/domestic political and economic experience into the presidential election.

[snowybirdie]

5. You'd think

his loving wife would stage an intervention and protect him from himself. Perhaps she's having more boots done this weekend instead?

[SergeStorms]

27. She's have her....

ass enlarged again. It's hard to find time on her busy cosmetic surgery calendar.

[ck4829]

6. I heard that a vote for Kanye West will automatically be counted as a vote for Donald Trump

[NurseJackie]

8. If the vote doesn't benefit Biden, then it DOES benefit Trump...

If the vote doesn't benefit Biden, then it DOES benefit Trump. It's one fewer vote that Trump needs to catch-up with (or pass) Biden's vote total.

[mjvpi]

29. Trump's attempt.....

....to peel off black voters? I’m in total agreement with you. He quickly went from from Trump backer to independent thinker.

[jmowreader]

9. I'm confused

First he said he’s running for President.

Then he pulled out of the race after it was determined his entire base is black Trump supporters.

Now he’s back in it again? My ex-wife wasn’t this indecisive.

[BlueIdaho]

12. Confused?

He’s mentally ill - there’s your explanation.

[Locrian]

13. publicity

he was, and now isn't - who the fuck knows? releasing an album July 24
I don't like hammering people who are mentally ill, but this guy is just a narcissistic, no-talent (that's my opinion I know), opportunist.

[padah513]

16. If he's releasing an upcoming album

Then there's the answer. Strictly publicity and as you said an opportunist.

[eilen]

21. Just another narcissist.

A bottomless pit of need for attention.

[Rebl2]

31. Exactly!

[McCamy Taylor]

11. Russia probably told him he has to run

so they can siphon Biden's votes to him. The GOP is desperate.

[Rebl2]

14. I think it

takes votes away from trump. I also thought it was said he can’t be added to any ballots in any states because it’s to late for that. I guess there is write in though. Don’t think that would be successful.

[Mz Pip]

15. I don't know much about Kanye

But my African American daughter in law says it’s not Black people who will vote for him, it’s the young White males that make up a big chunk of his fan base.

Sounds like these guys would otherwise be Trumpers.

[TNNurse]

17. Seems like no one really cares about him as a person.

If they did they would help him stop making a fool of himself.

Kind of reminds me of Trump.

He needs psychiatric care.

[brush]

19. Yes, his family needs to step in. The Kardasians and Jenners are not bi-polar...

so I don't get why they don't try to intervene. But now that I think about it, that's a pretty dysfunctional family, what with the high-profile sex change and it's effects on the children so maybe dysfunctional is normal to them.

[eilen]

22. I think it is probably really difficult to fit so many

exploding egos in one giant mansion at the same time --they are all narcissists and despite their great wealth, maybe not enough tv crews, hired friends, domestic help, beauty teams, personal assistants... aka servants to feed the raging appetite for adulation.

[brush]

25. Check, check and check.

[GoneOffShore]

33. It's a 'Massive Swelling' as detailed by Cintra Wilson.

The subtitle of her book is 'Celebrity Re-Examined As a Grotesque, Crippling Disease and Other Cultural Revelations' written in 2016.

[eilen]

20. As I say at least once a week

F(uck) Kanye.

[DallasNE]

23. West Is A Surrogate For Donald Trump

So a vote for West is a vote for Trump. But getting his name on the ballot could be a challenge - at least I hope so.

[mjvpi]

30. Bingo

[Yeehah]

24. This should be COMEDY GOLD!

Although this is an awful time for the country, I still have to laugh at the nincompoop republicans.

[AZ8theist]

32. Where's the Birthday Party convention this year?
