Chance the Rapper made it clear in a 2020 presidential contest between presumptive democratic nominee Joe Biden and Kanye West that he’s picking the fellow musician.
“And y’all out here [trying to] convince me to vote for [Joe] Biden. Smfh,” the 27-year-old rapper, born Chancelor Johnathan Bennett, tweeted to his millions of followers, along with a retweet from West who made a post in memory of his late mom’s birthday.

Chance the Rapper then asked his followers why they would support Biden over his rapper pal, Kanye.
“Are u more pro Biden or anti Ye and why,” Chance The Rapper tweeted. “I get that you’ll want to reply that you’re just tryna ‘get [Donald] trump out’ but in this hypothetical scenario where you’re replacing Trump, can someone explain why Joe Biden would be better??”

He also wrote that he was starting to see why people wanted Biden for president, but then explained he just doesn’t “feel the same way.”
I finally got the answer now. I understand. Yall trust Biden more than yall trust Ye. I think I understand why, I just don’t feel the same way.

“I finally got the answer now,” Bennett tweeted. “I understand. Y’all trust Biden more than y’all trust Ye. I think I understand why, I just don’t feel the same way.”
The comments came after West announced July 4 that he was running for president in 2020.
