LOS ANGELES: Rapper Kanye West on Tuesday voted for himself as the next US president after a longshot campaign marked by erratic statements and speculation that he might siphon some Black votes from Democrat Joe Biden. The singer and fashion designer tweeted that he was “voting for the first time in my life for the President of the United States, and it’s for someone I truly trust … me.” He later posted a video of himself casting his vote in Cody, Wyoming, where he wrote himself in on the ballot. West’s celebrity wife, Kim Kardashian, did not appear to be supporting his bid. She has given no public endorsements of her husband and on Tuesday she retweeted a message about voter hotlines from Democratic vice presidential contender Kamala Harris. West, once one of Trump’s biggest celebrity supporters, launched his campaign for the White House in July with erratic statements that raised concerns over his mental health. The 21-time Grammy Award winner said in 2018 that he suffers from bipolar disorder. West loaned $6.7 million to his campaign, according to a filing with the Federal Election Commission, and in a recent video emphasized religion and family values.
