Former Harvard professor and prominent intellectual Cornel West will mount a third-party run for president, he said in a video posted on Twitter
A supporter, surrogate and confidante of Bernie Sanders during the Vermont senator’s 2016 and 2020 presidential bids, West is one of the leading democratic socialist activists of his generation. “In these bleak times, I have decided to run for truth and justice which takes the form of running for president of the United States as a candidate for the People’s Party,” West said. “I enter in the quest for truth, I enter in the quest for justice.
West entered the public sphere during the Civil Rights Movement and has emerged in the decades since as an irrepressible voice of radical political thought. “I come from a tradition where I care about you. I care about the quality of your life. I care about whether you have access to a job with a living wage, decent housing, women having control over their bodies, health for all,” West said in his video.
