Cornel West's Third-Party Presidential Bid in 2024 Shakes Up Race.

Cornel West, a progressive activist and philosopher, has announced his bid for the 2024 presidential election with the left-wing People's Party, citing the need for truth about issues such as Ukraine, Wall Street, the Pentagon, and Big Tech. West's campaign policies include disbanding NATO, stopping foreign military aid, bringing U.S. troops home, and investing war dollars into American communities. West has been vocal about Russia's invasion of Ukraine, calling it a "crime against humanity" and criticizing the U.S.'s lack of moral authority in foreign policy. He will need to gather enough signatures to secure a spot on the 2024 ballot.
