Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein has announced Rudolph “Butch” Ware as her vice presidential selection at the party’s convention on Friday. Stein, who is the presumptive Green Party nominee, made the announcement during the party’s virtual convention, a day before she is set to formally accept the party’s nomination for president.
Stein explained that she chose Ware, an activist and professor at the University of California-Santa Barbara specializing in African and Muslim diaspora, because she wanted someone who could support her criticisms of Israel’s war in Gaza. She emphasized the importance of having a leading voice directly connected with the issue of genocide.
