Independent presidential candidate Cornel West has addressed concerns regarding his campaign's affiliations with signature-collecting firms and ballot access operatives with ties to Republicans. While acknowledging these connections, West firmly denied allegations that he is being used by Republicans to siphon votes away from Vice President Kamala Harris in crucial battleground states.
In a recent interview, West emphasized the importance of collaborating with legal and support staff, even if they have Republican associations, to expand ballot access in states. He defended his decision to work with Republican-aligned firms, stating that it is essential to present the strongest case for his candidacy.
