West, who announced during the MTV Music Video Awards that he was making a presidential run in 2020 and reaffirmed that announcement in a Vanity Fair interview, will be performing at an upcoming DNC fundraiser.

According to Page Six, those familiar with West’s penchant for extemporaneous speeches have drawn precise boundaries outlining what the rapper can and cannot do during the October 10, 2015 event. But maybe that incident is water under the bridge now?
According to an NBC Bay Area report, West is expected to perform music from his new album “Swish”, which includes the single “All Day”. And also shake enough hands to get a few supporters for his 2020 run.
“There will be restrictions”, a source told the publication.
DNC member Robert Zimmerman quipped, “Kanye will be an exciting draw, especially compared to the Republicans booking Wayne Newton or Clint Eastwood”. “We all know how well that turned out”.
The outspoken entertainer’s boast is not the first time he has entered the White House’s orbit.

He also famously slammed President George W. Bush during the aftermath of hurricane Katrina in 2005 by declaring that “George Bush doesn’t care about black people”, and recently, West attended a fundraiser in August for Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton.
