With the election just four months away, there are many important states where West cannot get his name onto the ballot and thus, it will be impossible for him to win.
Seemingly inspired by West's decision to run, however, another celebrity decided to join the fray: Paris Hilton!

Twitter, of course, made some jokes about what America would be like under a President Hilton.

Some even admitted they would prefer Paris Hilton to Kanye West or Donald Trump.

Many, however, were deadly serious about NOT voting for Hilton or West, even for the laughs.

Americans' lives are at risk during this election.
Don't let Kanye West or Paris Hilton distract you from the deadly spread of the Trump Virus. #EndTheNightmare https://t.co/qmf2mQvnX1— Chip Franklin InsideTheBeltway.com (@Chip Franklin InsideTheBeltway.com) 1593967974.0

This is not Hilton's first time throwing her hat into the ring. During the 2008 presidential campaign, GOP candidate John McCain made a reference to Hilton.
She responded with this video from Funny or Die.

Only time will tell who the next last-minute addition to the Presidential election might be.
Looking forward to Pauly Shore's 2020 campaign, which will begin two weeks before the election.
