He is a member of the Socialist Equality Party of the United States, and was a member of its predecessor the Workers League, joining the movement in 1979.[1] White was the SEP's nominee for the United States presidential elections four times, running in 1996, 2008, 2012 and 2016.[2][3]
In February 2024, SEP National Chairman David North announced White would run in the 2024 US election as the party's candidate for Vice President of the United States. His running mate on the ticket is Joseph Kishore.[4]
