美国说唱歌手“侃爷”宣布将竞选总统这些明星也跟风

在上周六（7月4日）美国独立日这天发布的推特上，43岁的韦斯特并没有说他是否会作为某个政党的候选人参选。

In any case, contesting the nomination of one major parties would be impossible at this stage, with the election only four months away.

无论如何，在目前阶段，争夺一个主要政党的提名是不可能的，因为距离选举只有四个月了。

In order to appear on the ballot as an independent candidate, West would have to gather a certain amount of signatures and register in states by a particular deadline. The deadline has already passed in some major states but the music star would still technically have time to file in many others.

为了以独立候选人的身份参选，韦斯特必须在规定的截止日期前收集一定数量的签名并在各州进行登记。在一些主要州，截止日期已经过了，但从技术上讲，这位音乐明星仍有时间在其他许多州提交申请。

This year's contest is likely to be a straight battle between Republican President Donald Trump and Democrat Joe Biden.

今年的总统竞选很可能是共和党总统唐纳德·特朗普和民主党候选人乔·拜登之间的一场激战。
