Cornel West, a philosopher, academic, and political activist, announced his campaign on June 5, 2023, in the 2024 US presidential elections as a People's Party candidate via a video on Twitter where he called for "truth and justice" and pledged to use the presidency to accomplish that.[5] On June 14, 2023, West announced he would also seek the Green Party's nomination in their primaries.[6][7] On October 5, West announced he would instead be seeking to run an Independent campaign and thus dropped out of the Green party primaries, beginning the process for ballot access.[8]

Aligning with his socialist positions,[9] West's campaign centers on support for Medicare for All, public housing, action on climate change, drastically cutting the US military budget.[10]

Background

West is an American philosopher, political activist, social critic, actor, and public intellectual,[11][12] who focuses on role of race, gender, and class in American society. West has held many professorships and fellowships, and has written books on these subjects such as Race Matters, and Democracy Matters. West is a self-described "non-Marxist socialist"[13][14] and an outspoken voice in left-wing politics in the United States. West has dabbled in political activism in the past. After serving as an advisor to Bill Bradley in 2000, who failed to make it past the Democratic primaries, West became a prominent and active supporter of Green Party nominee Ralph Nader, speaking at several Nader rallies.[15] West backed Barack Obama in the 2008 Democratic primaries[16][better source needed], but criticized him heavily after he became president.[17][18][19][20] He backed Bernie Sanders in 2016,[21] and after Hillary Clinton won the nomination, he endorsed Green Party nominee Jill Stein despite being on a board of the Democratic National Committee.[22]

Campaign

Initial announcement

On June 5, 2023, West announced he was running for president on a Rumble livestream hosted by comedian and conspiracy theorist Russell Brand.[23] Later that day, West posted a video to Twitter announcing his run.[5][24] In the video, West stated that “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. I enter for the quest for truth. I enter for the quest of justice. And the presidency is just one vehicle we pursue that truth and justice.” He criticized both major political parties for failing to "tell the truth about Wall Street, about Ukraine, about the Pentagon, about Big Tech."[5]

The People's Party immediately endorsed his campaign upon launch, quote-tweeting his launch video and saying that West would "smash the war duopoly and abolish poverty".[25] In the early roll-out, West's campaign was heavily criticized by left-wing activists and streamers for his choice of party.[26][27][28] The founder of the party, Nick Brana, has been accused of sexual harassment and assault,[29][30] and the party has ballot access only in Florida, with no track record of running campaigns.[31] Ben Burgis (a columnist for Jacobin),[32] Bhaskar Sunkara (the founding editor of Jacobin) and D. D. Guttenplan, (editor of The Nation) argued that he should run for the Democratic Party nomination instead,[33] while Jeet Heer (a correspondent for The Nation) argued for the Green Party.[26]

Candidacy for the Green Party nomination

On June 14, 2023, West announced he was running for the Green Party's 2024 presidential nomination.[6][7]

On June 16, Socialist Alternative, a Trotskyist and revolutionary socialist party with chapters in several US cities, endorsed West's campaign, saying that it had "enormous potential" to change the political system.[34]

On June 21, West officially filed to run for president with the FEC.[35] He later announced that Jill Stein, the Green Party's presidential nominee in 2012 and 2016, would be chairing his campaign.[36]

On June 22, Emerson College released an general election poll showing West at 5.8% support.[37] Another poll conducted by Echoleon Insights, which was released on July 6, found West at 4% support.[38][39]

On July 14, 2023, West stated that NATO had provoked the Russian invasion of Ukraine in a Twitter post.[40] Later, West criticized Biden for authoring the 1994 crime bill, which Biden has publicly disavowed,[41] saying it contributed to crimes against humanity against black Americans.[42]

On July 15, 2023, West filed his federally mandated second quarter fundraising report. It showed that he had raised $71,398.08 in 9 days after announcing his campaign, and had spent $2,784, leaving him with $68,613.45 on hand.[43]

On July 23, 2023, West responded to claims of being a spoiler candidate via a CNN interview with Anderson Cooper, saying:

There are tons of people, every two and four years who decide not to vote at all. And we know that the so called spoilers, which is a category I don't accept at all whether it be Gary Johnson, sister Jill Stein or Ralph Nader, many of those voters say they would never vote for the two parties at all. And I can understand, those politicians become too corrupt, too conformant, what about truth? What about justice? If you are concerned about truth and justice you cannot be complacent. Look at the world at the lens through those incarcerated, in the ghettos."[44]

In July 2023, Reform and Revolution, a Marxist caucus of the Democratic Socialists of America, published opposing articles arguing for and against DSA supporting West's campaign, endorsing neither as an official caucus position.[45]

On September 11, 2023, West brought on Peter Daou as his campaign manager;[46] Daou had previously held that role for Marianne Williamson's campaign.[47] Daou left the West campaign on October 27.[2]

Switch to independent candidacy

On October 5, 2023, West announced he was withdrawing his candidacy for the Green Party nomination and would instead run as an independent, beginning the process for attaining ballot access.[48][49]

West's campaign released a statement explaining his rationale for making the switch, stating that West "believes the best way to challenge the entrenched system is by focusing 100% on the people, not on the intricacies of internal party dynamics".[48]

Political positions

Main article: Cornel West § Politics

West has described himself as a "non-Marxist socialist" (partly because he does not view Marxism and Christianity as reconcilable)[50] and previously served as honorary chairman of the Democratic Socialists of America, which he remains a member of and described as "the first multiracial, socialist organization close enough to my politics that I could join." He also described himself as a "radical democrat, suspicious of all forms of authority" in the Matrix-themed documentary The Burly Man Chronicles.[51]
