House Majority Whip James Clyburn (D-S.C.) put Kanye West’s last-minute 2020 presidential bid on blast Friday, saying that the ultimate goal is just to siphon votes away from former Vice President Joe Biden in November.
“I don’t think there’s any question about that,” Clyburn told MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell. “We saw what was going on in Wisconsin where he was getting help getting on the ballot. But African Americans, most especially, know what this campaign is all about.”

Several of the political operatives that have been aiding West in his efforts to appear on state ballots have ties to Republican politics, leading some observers to conclude they are actually seeking to assist President Trump.
West has been fighting to get on the ballot in key battleground states such as Wisconsin and Ohio, both of which Trump won in 2016. Wisconsin — like several of the states that Trump was able to flip from blue to red — was tightly contested, with the president beating former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton by less that 30,000 votes.
