Caitlyn Jenner wants to be Kanye’s running mate

Caitlyn Jenner wants to be Kanye West’s vice-president. The All Day rapper is planning to run for office later this year, and not only does the 70-year-old reality star – who was previously married to Kanye’s mother-in-law, Kris Jenner – support his bid, she wants to be his running mate.

Questioned on whether she’ll be voting for Kanye, Caitlyn told TMZ: “Oh, I texted him and said, ‘Can I be your VP?’ What a combination!”

Asked if she’d do it, she added: “We’ll see.”

Kanye announced his intention to run for president a few weeks ago, with Wyoming preacher Michelle Tidball in line to be his running mate.

And on Wednesday, the 43-year-old star took the first steps in his move into politics when he submitted his first document with the Federal Election Commission, confirming he would run as a candidate for BDY, aka the Birthday Party.

When asked how he chose the name for his political party, the Yeezy founder previously said: “Because when we win, it’s everybody’s birthday.”

Kanye has qualified to appear on Oklahoma’s presidential ballot, the first state where he met the requirements before the filing deadline. But confusion remains over whether he’s actually running.

A representative for West filed the necessary paperwork for a spot on the state’s November 3 presidential ballot. He was one of three independent presidential candidates to pay the filing fee prior to the deadline. West has already missed the deadline to qualify for the ballot in several states, and it’s unclear if he is willing or able to collect enough signatures required to qualify in others.
