     Chelsea Clinton, the daughter of Hillary and Bill Clinton, has spoken about Kanye West's recent claims that he will run for the US Presidency in 2020.
    
     The rapper launched his alleged bid to be President during his acceptance speech at the MTV Video Music Awards last month (August 30). West said at the time, "It's not about me. It's about ideas. New ideas. People with ideas. People who believe in truth. And yes, as you probably could've guessed by this moment, I have decided in 2020 to run for President."
    
     Now, Chelsea Clinton has described the news as "awesome" in a new interview with MTV.
    
     "Who runs for office is really important,” Clinton said. "And even if [West] just saying that helps spark a little boy or a little girl who was watching the VMAs to think, ‘Oh wow, maybe I should do that,’ that’s awesome."
    
     Quizzed on whether the rapper will actually go through with his claims, Clinton replied, "You’d have to ask him". Asked whether she would vote for West, Chelsea added, "I think it depends on who he’d be running against," alluding to her mother Hillary's current campaign to be President.
