Read the Open Letter Kanye West Wrote in His 'New York
Times' Presidential Campaign Ad 1

Kanye West is going all in. The Friday before Election Day, the rapper took out an ad in The New York Times for his presidential campaign. The open letter, titled “Dear Future by Kanye West,” emphasized a need for love and equality, and imagined a world free of debt, shame, guilt, worry, stress” and “war,” among other things. It was accompanied by a picture of a dove.

“This is his open letter on how he envisions the future of America should be,” West’s representative told Page Six. The day before, West also released a promotional video for his Yeezy Christian Academy, with a message very similar to his open letter.

West initially announced that he was running for president on July 4, and filed to run on July 16. “We must now realize the promise of America by trusting God, unifying our vision and building our future. I am running for president of the United States!” he tweeted on July 4.

Despite West being vocal about his campaign on Twitter, the rapper had missed several deadlines to register in states, such as Wisconsin, Illinois, Montana, Ohio and West Virginia. West’s name will appear on the following state’s ballots: Arkansas, Colorado, Idaho, Iowa, Kentucky, Louisiana, Minnesota, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Utah and Vermont.

He also has been criticized for running in order to prevent Democratic nominee Joe Biden from winning the 2020 presidential race, which he admitted to in August via VICE. “I’m not denying it,” he said when asked whether he’s running as a spoiler to Biden.

His campaign site lists his presidential platform, along with sweatshirts and hats for sale with the message “VOTE KANYE.”
