Rapper
Kanye
West
has
released
his
first
official
campaign
video
for
the
US
Presidential
Elections
2020
taking
place
on
November
3.
The
video
shared
on
Monday
focuses
on
religion
and
features
several
families
at
prayer
with
nature
shots.
The
musician
and
fashion
designer
in
the
video
urged
supporters
to
vote
for
him
as
a
write-in
candidate.
He
said,
"We
as
a
people
will
revive
our
nation's
commitment
to
faith,
to
what
our
Constitution
calls
the
free
exercise
of
religion,
including,
of
course,
prayer.
Through
prayer,
faith
can
be
restored.
We
as
people
are
called
to
a
greater
purpose
than
ourselves.
We
are
not
only
a
beacon
to
the
world,
but
we
should
be
servants
to
each
other,
to
encourage
each
other,
to
help
each
other,
to
lift
up
each
other
--
our
fellow
Americans,
that
we
may
all
prosper
together."
"We
will
build
a
stronger
country
by
building
stronger
families.
Families
are
the
building
blocks
of
society,
of
a
nation.
By
turning
to
faith,
we
will
be
the
kind
of
nation,
the
kind
of
people
God
intends
us
to
be," West
adds.
Take
a
look:
Back
in
July,
Kanye
launched
his
campaign
with
erratic
statements
on
his
social
media
accounts.
According
to
reports,
the
rapper
has
official
ballot
in
a
handful
of
US
states,
and
the
US
media
has
claimed
he
has
no
chance
of
winning.
According
to
a
filing
with
the
Federal
Election
Commission,
West
has
spent
some
$5.8
million
on
his
campaign
in
2002,
while
$6.7
million
of
the
funding
is
loaned
from
himself.
His
campaign
website
kanye2020.country
carries
ads
for
hoodies,
hats,
and
t-shirts
ranging
from
$40
to
$160.
The
website
also
lists
a
10-point
policy
platform
as
a
part
of
his
campaign
which
talks
about
reform
of
policing
and
the
justice
systems,
reducing
student
debt,
and
restructuring
the
education
system
to
better
serve
vulnerable
people.
Over
the
years,
West
has
talked
about
running
for
US
Presidential
election.
During
the
last
Presidential
election,
he
was
seen
as
one
of
the
biggest
celebrity
supporters
of
President
Donald
Trump.
