CNN —Independent presidential candidate Cornel West will announce his vice presidential running mate on Tavis Smiley’s radio program Wednesday, according to his campaign. On the show, slated to air at noon ET, West will discuss why his West Coast-based vice presidential pick – who, like him, has never held elected office – best aligns with his values, according to a campaign official. They will also appear jointly at a rally in the Astoria neighborhood of Queens in New York later this month. Like fellow independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr., West needs to announce a running mate so that he can compete to get on ballots across the country in earnest. “I think it’s highly likely that we’ll come out on the ballot in New York,” a spokesperson for West said.
