ABOARD AIR FORCE ONE — Kanye West for 2020? The White House says it is anticipating the rapper's potential bid for president.
 
West claimed he would run for president while accepting the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award at the 2015 MTV Video Music Awards Sunday.
 
 
White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest says of the announcement that he looks "forward to seeing what slogan he chooses to embroider on his campaign hat." Earnest was traveling aboard Air Force One with the president to Alaska.
 
This isn't the first time the outspoken Chicago rapper has dabbled in talk of politics.
 
West is noted for criticism of President George W. Bush and the federal government's response after Hurricane Katrina. He has also compared the world's fascination with his wife Kim Kardashian to that of the first lady.
