Kramer revealed that the record label CEO had employed about 180 professionals to get his name as a third-party candidate running against Joe Biden (Democrat) and Donald Trump (Republican).

“I have nothing good or bad to say about Kanye. Everyone has their personal decision about why they make decisions,” he said.

“Running for president has to be one of the hardest things for someone to actually contemplate at that level.”

“If he did it, he would have to view this as a trial run for what’s going to happen in four years,” said Trump,
