The longshot 2024 independent presidential candidacy of left-wing scholar and activist Cornel West took a hit Friday when Peter Daou announced he is stepping down as West's campaign manager.
Daou, a former adviser to the Democrat presidential campaigns of John Kerry in 2004 and Hillary Clinton in 2016, had been on the job for a little more than a month. He previously worked on author and spiritual activist Marianne Williamson's 2024 Democratic presidential campaign.
"Yes, I burnt out and need rest from the extreme stress of two campaigns in one cycle. All while dealing with family health challenges and PTSD from my childhood in a war zone. But my mission of challenging the duopoly continues. Democrats are worried the candidacies of Kennedy and West will peel votes from Biden and ensure a Trump victory. West's platform courts the party's most liberal voters, calling for, among other things, the abolition of poverty and homelessness, a national $27 minimum wage, a constitutional right to clean air and water, reparations for Black citizens, canceling all student debt, and free tuition for all state and community colleges.
In another post on X, Daou indicated Israel's aerial bombardment of Gaza in response to Hamas' terrorist attack on Oct. 7 has affected him physically.
