Kanye West says he asked Donald Trump to be his 2024 presidential running mate

Per NYP: Kanye West says he asked Donald Trump to be his 2024 presidential running mate during a meeting at the former president’s Florida estate this week.

The 45-year-old rapper — who has returned to Twitter after he was banned over an anti-Semitic rant — said he traveled to Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach to make the pitch, and a Trump source confirmed the visit to The Post Wednesday.

“First time at Mar-a-Lago. Rain and traffic. Can’t believe I kept President Trump waiting. And I had on jeans. Yikes,” West tweeted Tuesday night.

“What you guys think his response was when I asked him to be my running mate in 2024?” he asked, using Twitter’s poll feature to add buttons with the choices “That’s very Ye” or “That’s very Nay.”

The hip-hop star, who now goes by Ye, has previously met with Trump in New York City and Washington, DC, including at a lunch with Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump where he dropped an F-bomb in the Oval Office in October 2018.
