Two-time Green Party presidential nominee Jill Stein has taken an interim role assisting Cornel West, the former Harvard professor and longtime progressive activist, as he builds up his recently announced campaign for the White House, sources say.
“She is helping him transition to the Green Party as he is building his team,” a source close to both West and Stein said Thursday. On Wednesday night, Stein described herself as the nascent campaign’s “interim coordinator” in an interview with Bloomberg News. Stein and aides did not immediately respond to CNN’s requests for comment. Stein is not currently expected to have a long-term presence on West’s campaign.
It remains unclear whether Stein voters would have turned out for Clinton had the Green nominee not been on the ballot. Stein also ran on the Green Party line in 2012, when President Barack Obama was reelected. West, a prominent surrogate for Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders during his two presidential campaigns, announced his own plans to run as a candidate with the little-known People’s Party in a video earlier this month.
