Amid poll numbers showing President Biden is tied or losing to former President Donald Trump, it may not take much to pull away enough voters in November to cost Democrats the election.
Mr. West, a university professor and longtime socialist activist, announced his presidential bid in July and is now running under the Green Party banner, which aims to secure a place on the November 2024 ballot in nearly every state.
Mr. Trump and Mr. Biden both had 45% support while 10% remained undecided in an Emerson College national poll conducted last week. When Mr. West was added to the mix, he captured 4% of the vote with Mr. Biden dropping to 42% and Mr. Trump to 43%, while 11% were undecided. Mr. West is running to the left of Mr. Biden, attracting voters who want more aggressive policies to end U.S. involvement in overseas wars, eliminate the use of fossil fuels, provide universal health care and reform policing.
Mr. West has denied his campaign is aimed at siphoning Biden voters but he beat the president to the United Auto Workers picket line this week, wielding an “on strike” sign alongside UAW Local 3039 workers in Tappan, New York, on Monday. “My support for Dr. West is based on me knowing his political stances and knowing that he’s anti-war, he’s into ending mass incarceration, environmental justice. A lot of things that I’m interested in,” Mr. Black said.
The third-party threat to Mr. Biden could be offset, Mr. Faucheux said, “If there is a third-party candidate taking away votes from the right side of the spectrum.”
