Donald Trump, Bernie Sanders and Hilary Clinton are just a few presidential candidates. Another applicant is a more unusual candidate who is running under the name of Deez Nuts.

Many Americans were confused when they turned on the news to see polls and saw Donald Trump with 40 percent of the votes, Hillary Clinton with 38 percent, and Deez Nuts with 9 percent in the North Carolina polls. The person behind this pseudonym is a 15 year old named, Brady Olsen.

Olsen first got only a small amount of attention but quickly earned popularity from his home state of Iowa, North Carolina, and Minnesota. He has many supporters and has become an internet phenomenon.

Olsen isn’t the only one who is running under a fake name. There is also Buddy the Elf, Limberbutt McCubbins, and Mickey Mouse. All of these candidates are gaining support. These people were figured out and are no longer in the race.

Mr. Deez Nuts, or Brady Olsen, was filed as an independent, and was very upset with the front runners. He has stated that he doesn’t agree with the government’s two-party system, and this is part of the reason he decided to run.

Olsen has gotten a lot of attention this past month. At 15 he is able to say that he ran for president and got quite a few votes along the way.                                                                                  18agonzalez@usd489.com
