While Joe Biden, Donald Trump, and Ron DeSantis prepare for the 2024 presidential election, it seems those in camp Kanye are struggling to keep things together. It has been reported that another key figure has resigned, which makes things difficult for the rap artist if he wants a place in the White House.
TMZ reported that Kanye’s 2020 campaign committee treasurer, Patrick Krason, resigned on Monday morning. The publication obtained a letter that stated his resignation and that neither West nor his campaign team could spend any of their campaign funds until a replacement was found. Karson also revealed that the higher-ups were made aware of his resignation and that they’re required to find a new treasurer within 10 days.
This resignation could be in light of the fact that West brought back right-wing British commentator Milo Yiannopoulos as his political director. The re-hired director then began “cleaning house and professionaliz[ing] Ye’s political team” by removing the rapper’s right-hand man, Nick Fuentes, and political advisor, Ali Alexander.
West first announced his run for presidency on Twitter back in 2020, claiming that he’d join the race during the 2020 elections as an independent candidate. Unfortunately, the rapper conceded since he knew that he couldn’t get the required electoral votes to win.
The rapper later announced back in Nov. 2022 that he will be running again in the 2024 election, months after he faced backlash for his antisemitic comments. The rapper also made comments praising Hitler in an interview on Alex Jones’ InfoWars.
At the moment, the official list of candidates for the upcoming election has not yet been revealed. And if Kanye really wants to win that seat in the White House, his team needs to be able to pull themselves together since, at the moment, it isn’t looking good. Especially when he’s going to be up against a former president, the incumbent president, and a Floridian governor that’s making headlines.
