Cornel West Moves to Green Party in 2024 Presidential Run
---------------------------------------------------------

Cornel West has switched party affiliation and is now running to be the
Green Party's 2024 presidential nominee. The author, civil rights
activist and professor of philosophy announced earlier this month he
would run as a candidate with the People's Party. West confirmed the
news on "The Katie Halper Show."

Cornel West: "Which means when it comes to infrastructure and
institution, it's much broader and deeper, access to the ballot much
broader. But in the end, as you know, any candidacy to run the empire in
order to dismantle the empire has to be part of a movement."
