Yes, this is the news that presidential candidate Kanye West has conceded the 2020 election, having polled only around 60,000 votes in total, according to the Associated Press. Having entered the race rather late, the rapper-turned-presidential hopeful only appeared on 12 out of the 50 state ballots, which was always going to make him a long shot for the Oval Office.

Rather than licking his wounds, or declaring victory in a deranged and norms-upsetting late-night speech, Kanye instead tweeted "WELP KANYE 2020", only to swiftly delete and replace the Tweet with the rather more statesmanlike: "KANYE 2024". In the words of Lyndon B Johnson: "Welp, indeed."
