Rapper and business mogul Kanye West told Forbes he no longer supports President Donald Trump and is happy siphoning Black voters off Joe Biden as he discussed his unexpected bid for the 2020 presidency.
West's announcement, made via tweet last Saturday, that he was launching a late-stage bid for the presidency made a splash on social media — and was greeted with skepticism in many quarters.
In an interview with Forbes, published Wednesday, West gave more detail about his decision to run, telling the magazine: "Like anything I've ever done in my life, I'm doing to win."
He told the publication that he would not be running as a Republican or Democrat but creating his own party: The Birthday Party.
