American rapper, and fashion icon Kanye West has dropped out of the U.S. presidential race .
This comes less than two weeks after announcing his intention to run for president of USA.
According to a report in New York Magazine’s Intelligencer, West hired campaign staff who were looking into getting his name listed as a third-party candidate in Florida and several other states, but the team has now been told the bid is off.
Steve Kramer, who happens to be an election strategist hired by West to focus on getting his name on the ballot in Florida and South Carolina, told the publication that 'he’s out' of the 2020 race.
Kramer revealed that his bid was serious and there were 180 people working in the ground in Florida before they decided to call off the effort.
The election strategist didn’t specify West’s reasons for allegedly withdrawing, , but said he’d “let [Intelligencer] know what I know once I get all our stuff cancelled.”
“I have nothing good or bad to say about Kanye,” he told the reporter.
“Everyone has their personal decision about why they make decisions. Running for president has to be one of the hardest things for someone to actually contemplate at that level.”
