'Part of a movement': Jill Stein to help Cornel West build 'people-powered' presidential campaign [View all]

Former Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein has signed on to support Dr. Cornel West's 2024 campaign, CNN reports.

The former Harvard professor and long time civil rights activist announced his Third-Party White House bid earlier this month, in which he noted he will run for the People's Party.

However, according to the report, West "quickly broke off from that group, which has limited campaign infrastructure amid concerns about ballot access, to join the Greens and seek their nomination."

The 2024 hopeful noted, "Any candidacy to run the empire, in order to dismantle the empire, has to be part of a movement."
