Kanye West's Lawyer Confirms: No Presidential Run in 2024

Kanye West's personal attorney, Bruce Marks, has confirmed that the rapper is not a candidate for office in 2024, effectively ending any speculation about a presidential run. This decision is reflected in the recent Federal Election Commission filing by Kanye's political committee, Kanye 2020, which shows a wind-down of the campaign apparatus. Right-wing operative Milo Yiannopoulos, who was previously involved in the campaign, is no longer on payroll. While Kanye could potentially change his mind, sources close to the committee say there are no plans for a YE24 bid, and recent expenditures suggest the campaign is closing up shop.

Kanye West Campaign Faces Finance Scandal with Resignations and Allegations.

Alt-right figure Milo Yiannopoulos used Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene's campaign credit card to purchase a domain for Kanye West's unannounced 2024 presidential bid, and was reimbursed by the West campaign for $3,000 above cost on the same day, according to receipts obtained by The Daily Beast. Legal experts say the transactions raise questions about possible theft and conversion of campaign funds to personal use. The transactions occurred on the same day that West dined with former President Donald Trump and white supremacist Nick Fuentes. Ye's latest treasurer, Patrick Krason, resigned on Monday, expressing concern that Yiannopoulos had "submitted falsified invoices for expenditures that would be deemed unlawful."
