NORTH CAROLINA: Presidential Candidate Deez Nuts Revealed As 15 Year-Old Iowa Student

The Hill reports:

Bad news for nine percent of likely voters in North Carolina: Their preferred presidential candidate doesn’t exist. The candidate called Deez Nuts — who has filed with the Federal Election Commission (FEC) to run for president — is actually a 15-year-old from Iowa named Brady Olson, according to the Daily Beast. The high school sophomore said he was inspired by news that Limberbutt McCubbins — a Kentucky cat — had filed paperwork for run for president. Deez Nuts became a social media phenomenon after a Public Policy Polling poll of North Carolina released Wednesday showed that in a race with Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Clinton and Republican leader Donald Trump, Deez Nuts would garner nine percent support. The poll also found that six percent of North Carolina voters had a favorable opinion of Deez Nuts, with 13 percent unfavorable and 81 percent not sure. Olson filed the FEC paperwork in late July. Anyone can fill out a statement of candidacy, and the information included is not checked against public records, the Daily Beast reported.

Olson says he wants the cat as his running mate because Nutz/McCubbins “sounds amazing.”
