It appears Kourtney Kardashian is the first from the Kardashian-Jenner family to publicly endorse Kanye West for president.

On Thursday, the reality star posted a photo of her wearing a black and white hat that read “Vote for Kanye” on her Instagram Stories. She also included a link to Kanye’s presidential campaign site, where the hat can be purchased for $40.

She caught flack for promoting Kanye, particularly since his name will only appear on ballots in 12 states, and the real race is between Joe Biden and Donald Trump.

kourtney kardashian posting an insta story to her 102 MILLION followers encouraging them to vote for kanye is one of the most irresponsible, egregious and reckless uses of that family’s platform that i’ve ever seen.

@kourtneykardash you have children... You really want them growing up in a world where Kanye is president?

Don't think that's your smartest move... A vote for him is essntially like you're throwing your vote away.

it’s not ‘cool’ to say to your 102 million followers to vote for Kanye during an election you absolute tit @kourtneykardash

.@kourtneykardash you know first hand your brother-in-law isn't stable enough to be President and yet you are encouraging your millions of followers to vote for Kanye.

Shame on you! Voting is a not a game or a PR stunt. It is literally life or death. #KanyeConJob

In fact, Kim Kardashian hasn’t endorsed a candidate for the election—not even Kanye.

On Wednesday, Kim posted an IG photo where she thanked her fans for helping her reach 190 million followers and urged them to vote. “190 Million seriously I love u guys so much!!!” she wrote. “I appreciate you all more than you know! Please VOTE! You have the power to change your future!”
