Cornel West Abandons Green Party Bid, Will Now Run for President as an Independent

Cornel West initially sought the nomination of the People's Party before switching to the Green Party.
West has now decided to run as an independent candidate, citing a desire to focus on the people rather than internal party dynamics.
As an independent, West will have to work to get his name on ballots across the country without the Green Party's support.
Some Democrats worry third-party candidates like West could draw votes away from President Biden in the 2024 election.
West's decision comes amid criticism of the two-party system and a desire for more choices on the ballot.
