Rapper and clothing designer turned presidential hopeful Kanye West has announced his first campaign event to be held in South Carolina at 5 p.m. on Sunday. Guests will have to register, sign a COVID-19 waiver and wear a mask, according to a release sent to ABC News, although his campaign website Kanye2020.country does not have a link to do so. ABC reports that there will be a press event ahead of the rally, which is to be held at the Exquis Event Center in North Charleston. While West is on the ballot in Oklahoma thanks to a $35,000 fee all independent candidates must pay, the ballot deadline for South Carolina was July 15. He needs to be on ballots in five states by Aug. 3 to qualify to win the election.
