Major Parties' Pre-Election Plans

Dems: "Let's ramp up the attacks & smears against @DrJillStein & her supporters, so we can blame someone if Harris loses."

GOP: "Let's ramp up our anti-immigrant racism & vote-fraud lies, so we can blame someone if Trump loses."#VoteGreen2024

Stein is among the list of several women who have run for President of the United States and also one of the few who received over a million votes in the general election behind both Hillary Clinton and Jo Jorgensen.

In 2024, Stein is taking on former President Trump and Democratic candidate Vice President Kamala Harris, running on a campaign which focuses on an anti-war stance, universal healthcare, free public education, an eco-socialist “real Green New Deal”, and strong worker rights. Her vice presidential running mate is Butch Ware.

Stein is married to Richard Rohrer, who is also a physician with the couple living in Massachusetts.

The establishment parties have failed us. They work for Wall Street and the war machine, spending trillions on endless war while working people struggle and the world burns.

Enough. It's time to forget the "lesser evil" and fight for the greater good like our lives depend on it. pic.twitter.com/Fp44pfeb9R

Candidacy snag

Last week, Stein’s campaign faced a hurdle as the European Green Party called on Stein to drop out of the race for the White House and declare her support for Democratic candidate and US Vice-President Kamala Harris.

Stein has returned to the race this year amid criticism from the Democratic Party, which sees her presence as a ‘vote siphon’ that ends up favouring the Republican candidate, in this case Donald Trump.

‘It is clear to us,’ they add, ‘that Kamala Harris is the only candidate who can stop Donald Trump and his anti-democratic and authoritarian policies from reaching the White House. In view of these momentous elections, we call on Green Party candidate Jill Stein to withdraw her candidacy and declare her support for Harris’. The European Greens take the opportunity to recall that there is no link with the US Greens or with Stein, whose policies espouse ‘different values’.
