Kanye West is reportedly still in the presidential race.
The rap superstar filed with the Federal Election Commission, according to a report from TMZ Wednesday.
West filed Form 1 — the Statement of Organization — that says the Kanye 2020 committee will act as the “Principal Campaign Committee,” the report said.
The paperwork listed the party as “the Birthday Party,” the banner he said he would run under when he initially announced his intention earlier this month.
The report noted that he had yet to file Form 2 — Statement of Candidacy — that confirms that he’s raised or spent more than $5,000 in campaign activities, which triggers his candidacy status under federal campaign laws.
Wednesday evening, reporter Ben Jacobs tweeted that, “per Misha Mohr, the public affairs officer for the Oklahoma Board of Elections, a representative for Kanye West appeared at their offices to formally file to run for President in the past 45 minutes along with the necessary filing fee.”
The developments come a day after a report said he was already bowing out of the race.
West, who announced his entry into the presidential arena in a July 4 tweet, told election strategist Steve Kramer that he was out of the race, New York Magazine reported Tuesday.
