In a September 2015 sit-down, Ellen asked Kim about Kanye West's recent announcement that he would run for president in 2020. "That was news to me," she said, adding, "I believe he is serious and I know that if he puts his mind to something he'll do his best."

I was like, 'You're going to have to make it to a second term,' because he loves redecorating. I was like, 'You're going to want to redo the whole White House and we're not going to be able to enjoy it. So we're going to have to just go with the flow.'"
