In his quest to mount the white house and fulfill his presidential ambition, American rapper Kanye West has now named Michelle Tidball as his running mate.
According to TMZ, Kanye filed the documents to be placed on the ballot in Arkansas, confirming vice presidential running mate Michelle Tidball to the petition. This is coming one month after the rapper mentioned that she would be his running mate.
Mitchelle Tidball is a 57-year-old white woman Kanye met in Cody, Wyoming, who runs an online Bible study and works in a dental office. She describes herself as “biblical life coach,” and charges $65 for a 50 minute one-on-one session.
In an interview with The New Yorker, Tidball’s former colleague, Mary L. Keller, said that Tidball sees herself an “online prophet”.
“We went out for drinks, and she told me about this international group of people who are in touch with the divine and discuss it with each other,” Keller said noting that Tidball predicted that Trump would win the election. “To her, his election was evidence.”
“The pair of West and Tidball may seem odd to some, but Keller believes that they are actually a match made in heaven.”
“It made sense. They both believe they have direct access to God and read the world as evidence of that access,” Keller said. “The religious imagination is about the only thing that can provide language for drought, flood, fire. … I see Kanye and Michelle as the kinds of voices that people might turn to for a meaningful story in the face of climate change.”
