Hillary Clinton says she ‘would not rule out’ Kanye West becoming her Vice President

Hillary Clinton has discussed Kanye West’s aspiration of becoming US President in 2020, suggesting that he “might want to wait” as she would be looking to run for reelection if she succeeds in 2016, according to nme.com.

The rapper announced that he will run for President in the 2020 election while accepting a prize at this year’s MTV VMAs. West insists he is serious about the bid and that he has been considering it since 2010.

Speaking on an episode of Buzzfeed‘s Another Round podcast, Clinton said: “I’ve told Kanye that I think he might want to wait. Cause I’ll be running for reelection.”

The Democratic candidate also said she’d be open to giving West a political role: “I might want to give him some additional experience so he’s got, on all the other things he’s done on his resume, he’s got some kind of envoy role or something he could point to… I would not rule out anybody for Vice President”.
