At one point, the Runaway rapper flashed a huge smile as he viewed a video or post of some kind on a gentleman’s cellphone.
With mail-in ballots being sent out to citizens across California, it was discovered that West appears as a Vice Presidential candidate for the American Independent Party – a far-right political party in the United States that was established in 1967 and is best known for its nomination of segregationist and former Governor George Wallace of Alabama in the 1968 presidential election.
The Party’s presidential candidate happens to be Roque ‘Rocky’ De La Fuente Guerra also known as the owner of De La Fuente car dealerships.

Beside his affinity for vehicles, Roque has also made his political ambitions known throughout the years, even running for president as a Democrat at one point before becoming finding opportunity from party to party.
West’s presence on the ballot as a VP for the American Independent Party raised several eyebrows due to the fact that he is still running for president under the Birthday Party.
After filing the proper documents, Kanye named spiritual coach Michelle Tidball as his Birthday Party running mate, though Tidball has never come forward to accept the job.
According to TMZ, Kanye’s surprise Vice President bid may have been done without his consent, similar to that of Tidball.

In recent weeks it’s been reported that Kim’s been feeling down about her husband’s battles with mental health and the ‘vicious cycle’ he endures.
It’s also been reported by Us Weekly that Kim still wants to ‘be there’ for Kanye during his mental health struggles.
The insider said: ‘Kim is holding onto her marriage with Kanye and knows that he is bipolar and struggling with his mental health and wants to be there for him and help.
‘She is continuing to support him and does her best to understand him and where he is coming from. She knows he is unconventional and has always known that.’

Kim previously hit back at reports that she was ‘torn’ on divorcing Kanye, following their emotional crisis talks in July.
It was reported that she remained undecided about pulling the plug on the marriage, after ‘feeling like she has tried everything’ to save their six-year union.
However, a representative for the mother-of-four has shut down the claims on the star’s behalf, telling MailOnline the reports are ‘absolutely not true’.
