Kanye announces 2020 presidential bid

He’s been a vocal supporter of Donald Trump for years.

But now the hip hop superstar Kanye West has announced he will stand against him in November’s presidential election.

But with nominations already closed in many states, how serious a threat to the front runners is he?
