In recent days, evidence has emerged linking veteran Republican operatives with a push in some states to have West’s name included on the 2020 presidential ballot.
WASHINGTON — President Trump said Wednesday that he was “not involved” with Republican efforts to help rapper Kanye West’s long-shot presidential bid. Asked during a White House briefing whether he had encouraged anyone in the GOP to help West get on the ballot, Trump bristled.
Kardashian, who has been an advocate for criminal justice reform, has met with Trump at the White House several times to advocate for individuals who she believes deserve to be pardoned. Trump notably followed her advice when in 2018 he granted clemency to Alice Johnson, a nonviolent drug offender. Kanye West has been a supporter of Trump, and the president and the rapper had a memorable 2018 meeting in the Oval Office.
