White House responds to Kanye West's 2020 presidential bid

Kanye West announced that he would be running for president in 2020 while accepting the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award on Sunday August 30 at the 2015 MTV Video Music Awards in Los Angeles, California.

In a swift respond to the 38-year-old rapper's bid for the seat in the 2020 election, the White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest says he's looking "forward to seeing what slogan (West) chooses to embroider on his campaign hat."

Earnest was traveling to Alaska aboard Air Force One with President Barack Obama on Monday August 31.

This isn't the first time the outspoken rapper has dabbled in talk of politics. West is noted for criticism of President George W. Bush and the federal government's response after Hurricane Katrina. He has also compared the world's fascination with his wife, Kim Kardashian, to its interest in first lady Michelle Obama.
