Jill Stein, a physician from Massachusetts, announced her entry into the 2024 United States presidential election on November 9, 2023. Stein had been the Green Party nominee in 2012 and 2016. In 2012, she received 470,000 votes.[2] In the 2016 election, she received 1.46 million votes (~1% of the popular vote).[3]

Stein is polling at 0.8% nationally as of August 21, 2024.[4] An August poll showed that Stein is polling at 29% among Muslim-Americans.[5]

Background

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.[6] 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 of 2023.[7]

Platform

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.[8]

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."[9]

Jill Stein's campaign platform advocates for a comprehensive approach to addressing social and economic inequality through the establishment of an Economic Bill of Rights. This includes the rights to a living wage, housing, healthcare, childcare, education, retirement, healthy food, and clean water.[10]

Her platform emphasizes democratic reforms such as automatic voter registration and enhanced voter access, as well as support for proportional representation and ranked-choice voting. Stein also calls for judicial reforms aimed at reducing the influence of lobbying and corporate funding in politics, alongside proposed measures for prison reform, which include banning private prisons and addressing police brutality.[11]

Stein is a proponent of social justice initiatives, advocating for reparations for the Black community, the recognition of Indigenous American sovereignty, and the protection of immigrant human rights.[12]

The campaign's vision for the Green New Deal is described as an "ecosocialist Real Green New Deal." Stein distinguishes this plan from recently proposed resolutions which her campaign describes as "nonbinding" and inadequate to address the climate crisis.[13]

In terms of foreign policy, Stein prioritizes demilitarization, a significant reduction in military spending (by 50-75%) and the allocation of those resources to create jobs within the Green New Deal framework. Her approach to international relations emphasizes adherence to international law, the promotion of human rights, and the use of diplomacy to resolve conflicts.[14]

Polling

Stein is polling at 0.8% nationally as of August 21, 2024.[4]

An August 2024 survey published by the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) found that 29% of Muslim voters planned to vote for Stein.[15]

Campaign

Announcement

On November 9, 2023, Stein announced her third bid for president.[16]

Developments

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.[17][18]

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.[19] Stein criticized the university's handling of the protest, accusing the administration of violating their freedom of speech.[20]

The campaign announced on May 26 that it had accrued enough delegates to secure the nomination.[21]

Vice presidential selection

Stein reportedly considered offering the nomination to Dearborn, Michigan mayor Abdullah Hammoud, although he would be too young to be inaugurated as vice president.[22] On August 16, she announced Rudolph "Butch" Ware as her running mate.[23]

Ballot access

Stein ballot access for the 2024 presidential election, as of September 2024:
  Certified for ballot (38 states, 437 electors)[i]
  Registered write-in (Two states, 22 electors)[ii]
  Automatic write-in (Three states, 12 electors)[iii]

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.[40]

Stein's campaign is being 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 spoiler concerns.[41]
