Just when it seemed the 2016 presidential race couldn’t get any more crowded, or colorful, another oddball candidate has put in a bid for the White House — under the name Deez Nuts.
Mr. Nuts is running as an independent from Iowa and filed his candidacy Sunday with the Federal Election Committee.
Over 500 people have filed their 2016 candidacy with the FEC so far. Among the candidates, 80 are Democrats, 127 are Republicans, 135 independents and 12 libertarians. Fifteen candidates have not declared a party affiliation, while numerous others chose to write in their own.
