Kanye West is set to host his first presidential campaign rally in South Carolina today (July 19), shortly after appealing to fans for ballot votes in the state.
After a turbulent, short-notice campaign launch, which appeared to be over on Wednesday (July 15),
they reported it later that day that West remained in the race after filing his first official paperwork with the Federal Election Commission.
Now, according to ABC News, West has announced his first rally at the Exquis Events Center
in North Charleston on Sunday at 5 pm, including a pre-rally press event.
A press release noted that the event is for “registered guests only” and that attendees
would have to sign up at the rapper’s new campaign website Kanye2020.country.
They will also need to sign a coronavirus liability release form and observe social distancing and wear a mask.
Furthermore, the ‘Power’ rapper reached out to fans on Twitter this weekend,
asking them to put him on the ballot for areas around South Carolina.

However, some noted that the deadline to register as an independent candidate in South Carolina was July 15
and the state does not allow write-ins candidates –
meaning West may already have missed out on the ballot in that state.
Recall wotzup.ng reported that earlier today (July 19), West announced a recent album in a tweet that has since been deleted.
