Democrats are taking the prospect of a Kanye West presidential bid seriously.

West made his intention known during the 2015 MTV Video Music Awards Sunday.

The Associated Press reports from Air Force One the White House has announced it is anticipating the rapper's bid for president.

Josh Earnest, Obama's press secretary, said he looks "forward to seeing what slogan he chooses to embroider on his campaign hat."

The Hill went so far as to suggest the candidacy of Donald Trump has opened the door for a West presidential bid.
