Democrats Target Jill Stein Over Potential Spoiler Role in 2024 Election
Concerns grow as Stein's Green Party candidacy could influence outcomes in key battleground states.
- The Democratic National Committee has launched ads portraying Jill Stein as a spoiler, reminiscent of her 2016 role that allegedly aided Trump's victory.
- Stein is polling at about 1% in northern swing states, but her campaign is seen as potentially pivotal in a close race.
- Stein's strategy includes appealing to voters unhappy with the Biden-Harris administration's Middle East policy, particularly Muslim communities in Michigan, Arizona, and Wisconsin.
- Other third-party candidates like Libertarian Chase Oliver and independent Cornel West are also in the race, but Stein's impact is viewed as more significant for Democrats.
- Despite concerns, recent polls suggest the third-party vote may be less influential than in previous elections, with many minor-party supporters showing low motivation to vote.
