Dr. Melina Abdullah, vice presidential candidate and co-founder of Black Lives Matter Grassroots, emphasized the importance of this moment. “Dr. West’s candidacy represents a powerful shift toward real justice. Voters are waking up to the fact that there’s more than just the binary choice of Democrat and Republican. We’re building a movement that stands for the people, and this poll shows that more and more voters are aligning with that vision.”
The West/Abdullah campaign has the signatures and minor party nominations it needs to get on the ballot in 18 states. This includes 7 of the battleground states: Michigan, Georgia, Minnesota, Florida, Wisconsin, Virginia and North Carolina.
