Fox News
Cornel West launched his campaign for a party that's run by a former Bernie 2016 staffer
"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, 70, announced in a video posted to social media. "The presidency is just one vehicle to pursue the truth and justice I’ve been trying to do all my life." Elizabeth Elkind is a politics reporter for Fox News Digital.
"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 care for all, the escalating destruction of the planet, the destruction of American democracy," he added.
