During a church service on Sunday, West presented a video announcing his 2022 bid.<\/p>\n<p>West went on to argue he could no longer sit on the sidelines and watch what has been happening in the U.S. The former GOP chairman had been hinting at his run for governor, with another candidate being former Texas Sen. Don Huffines (R).<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Thank you all so very much for your overwhelming support!
