Jill Stein, 2016 Green Candidate, Now Running Cornel West's Bid.

(Bloomberg) -- Cornel West, the Ivy League academic and progressive activist mounting a third-party campaign for president, has chosen former Green Party candidate Jill Stein to help him challenge to President Joe Biden from the left. Stein's role will likely rekindle the debate in liberal circles over whether third-party campaigns like West's could divide the Democratic vote and make more likely the election of former President Donald Trump in 2024, assuming that he becomes the Republican nominee. Stein said Wednesday that she's serving as the "interim coordinator" for the West campaign, a catch-all role that encompasses fundraising, communications and campaign management until West can build a more traditional campaign.
