West was unable to collect 132,781 signatures by Wednesday (15 July) to be eligible to run in Florida.
Kramer added that, "I have nothing good or bad to say about Kanye... Any candidate running for president for the first time goes through these hiccups."
The reports of his withdrawal comes right after recent polls suggested that he was polling at only 2%.
After his 4th of July announcement, West attempted to get himself on the ballot as a third party candidate.
Steve Kramer however, did not specify the reasons of withdrawal. As per Kramer's statements, an announcement cancelling the presidential bid is expected soon.
