Deez Nuts Endorses Bernie Sanders And John Kasich For Presidential Nomination

He expanded Saturday that he is supporting Sanders “because he nearly completely agrees with me on social issues and even financial issues”, according to In These Times.

Since Deez Nuts entered his name on the ballot, he has surpassed Hillary Clinton on Google Trends. The teen, who recently placed above major candidates in primary polling, had previously expressed his support for the self-described Socialist, but emphasized that the endorsement was not for the general election. Bernie Sanders (I-Vermont) for the Democratic presidential nomination and Gov. John Kasich (R-Ohio) for the Republican presidential nomination. McMillan vowed to enter the race just so he could officially endorse Deez Nuts.

Could the endorsement from Deez Nuts be enough to push Sanders into the frontrunner position for the Democratic Party?

The candidate pool became more of a spectacle after a 15-year-old boy filed to run for president under the name Deez Nuts. Unfortunately for the struggling Kasich, when Olson was pressed on whether he believed his endorsements would make any difference in either the Democratic or Republican primaries, the candidate responded, “Not really“. Will history look upon the Deez Nuts intervention as the highlight of the entire 2016 presidential campaign? Anyone can file a statement of candidacy, and the information requested on the forms is not checked against public records.

With the election still a year and a half away, PPP first included Deez Nuts in a Minnesota poll, where he got 7 percent. The results made Nuts the most successful independent candidate for President in two decades.

Nuts is also known as Brady Olson, who is 15 and lives in Wallingford, Iowa.
