In an exclusive interview with Forbes, Kanye spoke about his platform, revealing his running mate for the upcoming Presidential Election, clarifying which party he’s running for. And regarding his previous support of Donald Trump, he said: “I am taking the red hat off, with this interview,” he said, revealing that he is no longer on board with Trump’s ideals.

“It looks like one big mess to me,” he told the outlet. “I don’t like that I caught wind that he hid in the bunker.”

When speaking on the platform he will be running for, West is creating his own. Calling it the Birthday Party, he has said that he’s already got support from Elon Musk and others, and that he’s running so he could win. “Like anything I’ve ever done in my life, I’m doing to win.”

His running mate will be Michelle Tidball, a preacher from Wyoming. On accusations that he’ll only trim down Joe Biden’s chances of winning by sharing the Black people’s vote, he said : “I’m not denying it, I just told you. To say that the Black vote is Democratic is a form of racism and white supremacy,”

His stance on abortion was also made clear, as he said that “Planned Parenthoods have been placed inside cities by white supremacists to do the Devil’s work.”
