Kanye West believes that he will win against Joe Biden through write-in votes.

On July 25, the "Gold Digger" rapper took to Twitter and made a bold announcement about beating Biden in the 2020 presidential election.

"I will beat Biden off of write ins #2020VISION," West wrote.

West's post received mixed reactions from Twitter users especially since he didn't mention his other competitor, President Donald Trump. Some even speculated that West is just running to divide the votes and let the POTUS win the re-election.

"Funny how you’re talking about beating Biden but not Trump," @Mel_2_u commented.

"No you won’t you’ll divide the vote & Trump will win again," another user wrote.

"Would be great if you could take republican votes from Trump so Biden could win. Please consider this option," a different user added.

"Bro anyone can beat Biden. Biden doesn’t even know he’s running I bet," @TvShaker opined.

"You’re worried about beating the wrong guy," @saintgudino wrote.

"He doesn’t want the other guy to lose, that’s why he’s running so he can steal votes that Biden would of been getting,” @mrcrackkills commented.

Meanwhile, some users believe that West should not join the presidential race. One netizen even questioned what the rapper has done for the people’s rights.

"My guy. Stop running not only is it stupid this late in the game. But if anyone is getting written in its @BernieSanders who’s been fighting for people’s rights since he became an adult. What have you been doing the past couple decades?" @dendy_li0n asked.

West announced his presidential bid on the Fourth of July on Twitter. His announcement also received mixed reactions, with some even commenting that Taylor Swift would be a better candidate than him. His announcement prompted Swift’s fans to urge the "Love Story" singer to also run for president.

Swift and West haven been feuding for years and earlier this year, a recording supporting Swift’s claim that she didn’t lie about West’s “Famous” song leaked. Swift was vindicated, according to sources.

Meanwhile, some are worried for West’s mental health because he has been diagnosed with bipolar disorder. In the past week, he ranted on Twitter and attacked his wife Kim Kardashian. In one post he announced that he wanted to divorce Kardashian after she met with Meek Mill in 2018.

West recently made a public apology to Kardashian. He also visited a hospital for a checkup.
