Stein is polling between 0.9%[4] and 1.2%[5] nationally as of November 3, 2024. An August poll of 1,159 Muslims by the Council on American–Islamic Relations indicated that 29% planned to vote for Stein.[6][7]

Background

edit

In June 2023, Stein took on the role of campaign manager for the 2024 presidential campaign of activist and scholar Cornel West, who was then seeking the nomination of the Green Party.[8] After West withdrew from the Green Party to continue his campaign as an independent, Stein launched her campaign for the Green Party's 2024 presidential nomination in November 2023.[9]

Platform

edit

When announcing her candidacy, Stein described the two-party political system as "broken." She called for prioritizing a "pro-worker, anti-war, climate emergency agenda" in the upcoming election, aiming to bring these issues to the forefront of national discourse.[10]

Stein has also been an outspoken critic of U.S. foreign policy, particularly regarding the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Following the October 2023 Hamas attack, she condemned Israel's military actions in the Gaza Strip and criticized President Joe Biden for what she described as a failure to intervene against what she termed Israel's "genocidal rampage."[10]

Polling

Stein is polling between 0.9%[4] and 1.2%[5] nationally as of November 3, 2024.

An August 2024 survey published by the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) found that 29% of Muslim voters planned to vote for Stein.[11] In Michigan, 40 percent of Muslim voters supported Stein, 18% supported Trump and 12% supported Harris.[12] CAIR's final election poll, published on November 1, showed that nationwide among Muslims, 42.3% planned to vote for Stein, 41% for Harris, and 9.8% for Trump.[13]

Campaign

edit

Announcement

edit

On November 9, 2023, Stein announced her third bid for president.[14]

Developments

edit

Stein took part in a presidential debate hosted by the Free & Equal Elections Foundation on February 29, 2024, alongside Party for Socialism and Liberation nominee Claudia De la Cruz, fellow Green candidate Jasmine Sherman, and Libertarian candidates Chase Oliver and Lars Mapstead.[15][16]

Stein and two campaign staff members were among more than 80 individuals arrested by local police on April 27 at Washington University in St. Louis while protesting the Israeli invasion of the Gaza Strip as a part of the nationwide protests on university campuses. According to Stein on Twitter, she and the other protestors were held at the St. Louis County Jail until 2 a.m. the next day.[17] Stein criticized the university's handling of the protest, accusing the administration of violating their freedom of speech.[18]

The campaign announced on May 26 that it had accrued enough delegates to secure the Green Party nomination.[19]

Some Republicans have been boosting Stein's candidacy in the hopes that she attracts voters away from Kamala Harris.[20] Stein's campaign paid over $100,000 to Accelevate, a Republican-connected signature gathering enterprise operated by Trent Pool and Pool's brother, to assist with ballot access for Stein's 2024 campaign.[21] That firm had also been paid over $10 million for assistance with qualifying Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s presidential campaign for help with ballot access in the same election.[22][23]

On October 24, Stein once again participated in a debate hosted by the Free and Equal Elections Foundation, alongside Chase Oliver and Constitution Party nominee Randall Terry.[24]

Vice presidential selection

edit

Stein reportedly considered offering the nomination to Dearborn, Michigan mayor Abdullah Hammoud, although he would be too young to be inaugurated as vice president.[25] On August 16, she announced Rudolph "Butch" Ware as her running mate.[26]

Calls by European Green parties to drop out

edit

On November 1, the European Greens released a statement, signed by representatives from 16 European countries, asking Stein to drop out of the presidential election and endorse Kamala Harris, arguing that "Harris is the only candidate who can block Donald Trump and his anti-democratic, authoritarian policies."[41][42] Stein's team said it was disappointed that "one group of Greens [would] tell another to stop participating in democracy" and that it "would never betray our legion of supporters – and the many supporters who have already cast votes – by abandoning our mission now".[41]

Ballot access

edit
 
Stein ballot access for the 2024 presidential election, as of September 2024:
  Certified for ballot (37 states, 420 electors)[i]
  Registered write-in (Four states, 56 electors)[ii]
  Automatic write-in (Three states, 12 electors)[iii]
  On ballot, votes will not count (One state, 17 electors)[iv]
  Not on ballot

The Democratic Party has fought to exclude Stein from the ballot in a number of states.[21] The Wisconsin Supreme Court decided against hearing the lawsuit brought forward by the Democratic National Committee against Stein. The lawsuit was described as an attempt to remove her from the Wisconsin ballot. As of August 2024 she will remain on the ballot in Wisconsin.[45]

Stein's campaign was represented at the Supreme Court by Jay Sekulow, a former lawyer to Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, to get on the Nevada ballot, while Democrats have fought to keep Stein off due to their belief that she would be a spoiler candidate. The Supreme Court rejected Stein's application in a one-sentence order without comment or dissent.[46] The Associated Press has reported on the Republican efforts to help Jill Stein get on the ballot and has compared it to Republican attempts to place Cornel West and his campaign on the ballot of swing states in the belief that West will act as a spoiler candidate.[47]

Results

edit

The ticket garnered 716,369 votes, the second highest of her three campaigns, beating her 2012 run but falling short of her 2016 bid.[51][52] This was the first election since 2000 where the Green Party placed third place in the popular vote. Jill Stein also won 22% of Dearborn, Michigan, coming in third place behind Harris, who won 28%, and Trump, who won 47%.[53] In all swing states, Trump's margin of victory exceeded the combined totals of Harris's and Stein's votes, and Stein's candidacy had no impact on her electoral performance.[54][55]
