Is Kim Kardashian running for president?
While some social media posts claim Kim Kardashian is running for office this year, it is a hoax as the reality TV star has no intention of taking part in the 2024 presidential election race.
However, Kim has been part of the conversations around the presidential race in the past - and even hinted she might one day run for the office.
In 2020, the star appeared to support ex-husband Kanye West in his race to the Oval Office.
Ye announced on the Fourth of July that he was planning to run against Donald Trump and Joe Biden for President.
