Kanye West launches Presidential campaign

Kanye West has officially launched his campaign for the 2020 US presidential election, with an unorthodox rally in Charleston, South Carolina.

West is running as a candidate for his self-styled birthday party.

At the event, the rapper seemed to make policy decisions and made several rants, including on abortion and on abolitionist Harriet Tubman.

Fans have questioned whether his last-minute bid for the White House is actually a promotional stunt.
