Two weeks ago, Kanye West announced that he would be running to become President of the United States in 2020. Unveiling his campaign goals, West preached an anti-vaccination and anti-abortion stance, which divided his fanbase even further. He was already too late to run in six states and, with the deadline rapidly approaching in several others, West made a last-ditch effort to get his name added to the ballot in Florida and South Carolina. Apparently, it all ended up being too much for him because, according to Intelligencer, he decided to bow out gracefully.

Getting their information from multiple campaign professionals, Intelligencer reported that Kanye had taken steps to have his name included on the ballot as a third-party candidate. The outlet had learned from somebody on Ye's team that they would be spending time in Florida to get the required number of signatures to be added to the ballot. That would have meant 132,781 signatures in less than a week to hit the July 15 deadline.
