While Kanye West will have many hurdles to overcome to be elected POTUS, raising money for his campaign would seem like one of the easier aspects, especially considering the money he and his wife earn, her family connections, and the friendships that the two have cultivated in entertainment and business.
Still, just a couple days after West’s huge announcement, the first Kanye West-supporting Super PAC has begun to take shape. (via CoS)

Established by 24-year-old Baltimore native Eugene Craig, the political action committee is being called “Ready For Kanye,” with the paperwork already filed with the Federal Election Committee.
Craig spoke to Rolling Stone about why he thought West would make a good President, citing his stances on occupation in the Middle East, the war on drugs, and small business as reasons for his support.
“It’s an opportunity to reach voters who ordinarily would not be in tune to the process,” Craig said, “who are apathetic to the process. The second part of this is that a party that can openly accept Donald Trump has room for Kanye West.”
