He was nominated by the Greenback party, (third party) running against the Democrat and Republican nominees. He had less than 1% chance to win according to his wiki. I’d say that no matter how fuzzy the definition of major party is, the Greenbacks weren’t that.
He sounds like he was an intelligent person who was concerned with social justice, especially for the native tribes.
I really like him, but I think she’d do much better naming a younger VP. He is exceptionally qualified, but he’s probably going to quell some of the enthusiasm young voters are showing for Harris.
