Activist, theologian and renowned academic Cornel West announced he’s entering the 2024 presidential race. West said he’s running as a member of The People’s Party, a left-wing political party that dates back to the 19th century. What are your thoughts?

He’s definitely more qualified than most, I can say that for sure.

I definitely prefer West over anyone who has declared so far. He has been talking with people on the streets, in the jails, and working-class people everywhere. Having someone like Nina Turner as VP would definitely round out the ticket. Sadly, I don’t think the donors who run the country would allow such intellect and love into the White House.

Just give him a mirror and a microphone. He loves to see himself talk!

Who will his VP be? Tavis Smiley?

If Trump can, Mr. Cornel West is more than qualified!
