America, comfortably in the full throttles of the 2016 Presidential race, is very much focused on the candidate contest. Like all the races that came before, the news and internet is striving to provide citizens with an overflow of information in an attempt to stay up to date and to create an informed voting body.The spotlight has shifted not towards the candidates for this particular race; but towards the future.

Once again, the entertainment industry and American politics have found themselves viciously intertwined. Last week at the Video Music Awards, in natural Kanye fashion, Kanye West casually blurted out a mic-dropping comment as he slyly announced that he wants to run for President of the United States in 2020. Stunned and questioning if they heard correctly, America has moved its focus toward Kanye and the backlash that has naturally ensued.

After temporarily breaking the internet, the news has been whispering with a stir of conspiracy theories about running mates (Nick Jonas and Taylor Swift in the forefronts), platforms, and whether or not Kanye was under the influence of something when the announcement was made.

Without any true answers in sight, America’s attention will be kept busy for the time being. As enticing and exciting as Kayne’s recent stunt is, America is keeping its eyes on November 2016. Whether or not we will be seeing Kayne on a ballot any time soon is up in the air. But for the time being, to keep America happy, merchandise is available. #Kanye4prez
