Rapper Kanye West has released a campaign video for 2020 presidential run.<\/p>\n
The rapper tweeted it with the caption: “We stepping out on faith.”<\/p>\n
In the video, Kanye is seen against a black-and-white American flag. The montage also has families praying and helping each other.<\/p>\n
“What is America’s destiny? What is best for our nation, our people? What is just, true justice? We have to think about all these things, together as a people,” Kanye says.<\/p>\n
“To contemplate our future, to live up to our dream, we must have vision. We as a people will revive our nation’s commitment to faith, to what our Constitution calls ‘the free exercise of religion’, including, of course, prayer. Through prayer, faith can be restored. We as a people are called to a greater purpose than ourselves. We are not only a beacon to the world, but we should be servants to each other, to encourage each other, to help each other, to lift up each other-our fellow Americans, that we may all prosper together.”<\/p>\n
“We have to act on faith, with the sure knowledge that we are pursuing the right goals and doing the right things.”<\/p>\n
“We will build a stronger country, by building stronger families. Families are the building blocks of society, of a nation. By turning to faith, we will be the kind of nation, the kind of people God intends us to be.”<\/p>\n
The video ends with him saying: “I’m Kanye West and I approve this message.”<\/p>\n
The video is also available on his campaign website, which features merchandise available for purchase, a donation button and his official “presidential platform”.<\/p>\n
The 10-bullet plan lays out a commitment to “restore faith” through “prayer in the classroom” and other “spiritual foundations”, reduce household debut and student loan debt; provide the “widest possible range” of educational opportunities, maintain national defense, reform the legal and criminal justice system, reform policing, focus on environmental concerns; put Americans’ “best interest first and foremost in dealing with foreign affairs”, support “faith-based groups” and giving the arts the opportunity to be an “important source of innovation and development of other national strengths and resources”, according to a report in billboard.com.<\/p>\n
He is on the ballot in 12 US states, including Arkansas, Colorado, Idaho, Iowa, Kentucky, Louisiana, Minnesota, Mississippi, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Utah and Vermont.<\/p>\n
“I am campaigning to be the next President of our great country — not Vice President,” Kanye had earlier said in a statement. <\/p>\n
