NEW YORK – A 15-year-old boy has entered the US presidential race.

According to the New York Post, Brady "Deez Nuts" Olson from Wallingford, Iowa, is running as an independent, and is already the choice of 9 percent of those surveyed in North Carolina when pitted against Hillary Rodham Clinton and Donald Trump.

In Iowa, 8 percent of those surveyed said they would vote for him and in Minnesota, 7 percent supported him.

When Brady filed papers with the US Federal Election Commission, The Daily Beast reported, he was not asked for his age.
