Prof. Cornel West for Pres? (Green Party)

Here’s why Cornel West switched to Green Party in presidential campaign

(The Jimmy Dore Show) June 15, 2023. #TheJimmyDoreShow American progressive activist and academic Cornel West grabbed headlines recently when he announced he would be running for president under the People’s Party banner.

Now West has had a change of heart -- after talking to Chris Hedges -- and will instead be running for the nomination of the Green Party. And, as if on cue, he is already being roundly excoriated by Democrats as a secret "right-winger" who will throw the election to Don Trump.

Jimmy Dore and Americans’ comedian Kurt Metzger speak with journalist and author Chris Hedges, who helped persuade Prof. West to make the switch, about what a Cornel West presidential campaign could accomplish.
