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's presidential nominee in 2012 and in 2016. In 2012, she received 469,627 votes. ^[1] In the 2016 election, she received 1,457,216 votes (1.07% of the popular vote). ^[2]

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. ^[3] Stein stepped down from this role and withdrew her support for West's campaign in October 2023, when West withdrew his candidacy for the Green presidential nomination and opted to instead continue his campaign as an independent. Stein then stated that she would assist the Green Party in finding a nominee elsewhere, while also hinting at a possible bid of her own. ^[4]

Campaign

Announcement

On November 9, 2023, Stein announced her third bid for president ^[5] on X (formerly Twitter), citing her main priorities as taking an anti-war stance, promoting a Green New Deal, Universal Healthcare, and ending what she characterized as "genocide in Gaza". ^{[6] [7] [8]} Stein's campaign reportedly has the potential to erode Joe Biden's core support in the general election. ^{[9] [10]}

Developments

On December 21, 2023, the Green Party secured ballot access in the swing state of Arizona. ^[11]

In January 2024, the Quinnipiac University Polling Institute showed Stein polling at 4% in the swing state of Pennsylvania, ^[12] where she received 0.37% and 0.81% of the vote during the 2012 and 2016 elections respectively.

On February 29, 2024, Stein took part in a presidential candidates debate hosted by the Free & Equal Elections Foundation , alongside Party for Socialism and Liberation nominee Claudia De la Cruz, fellow Green candidate Jasmine Sherman, and Libertarian candidates Chase Oliver and Lars Mapstead. ^{[13] [14]}

"Breaking – Stein & Baraka wish Dr. West well, affirm support for a strong Green campaign Boston – Jill Stein and Ajamu Baraka, previously advisors to the West campaign, today wished Cornel West well in his upcoming independent presidential campaign, in the following joint statement: "As colleagues who helped persuade Dr. West to pursue the Green nomination, we appreciate the good faith effort he has made over the past four months. Running solo, however, may better suit his long standing role as a fiercely independent voice of moral authority. While we share Dr. West's formidable commitment to peace and justice, we are respectfully parting ways at this juncture, as we are committed to building an independent people-powered party as an indispensable vehicle for challenging empire and oligarchy for the long haul. "In light of Dr. West's decision to run independently, we are in discussion with several former candidates about potentially entering the race to carry the Green Party's anti-war, pro-worker, climate emergency agenda into this critical election. "With the Democratic Party now leading the charge for war and censorship, betraying workers on the rail strike and dropping the $15 dollar minimum wage, outdoing Trump in new fossil fuel projects on public lands, and voluntarily resuming crushing student debt payments when people are barely scraping by paycheck to paycheck – for all these reasons and more, we need an independent, corporate-free people's party more than ever. "In deciding to run as an independent, the West campaign leaves behind the ballot lines they would have had access to, as well as the guidance of experienced ballot access staff and Green volunteers familiar with the process in most of the 50 states. We expect this will be a formidable obstacle in the coming months. "Though Dr. West won't be running with our team, he is offering an inspired, courageous example to voters and candidates alike. We believe he is making an immeasurable contribution to the 2024 election, and for that we are deeply grateful. Given our similar visions and agendas, we will continue to look for synergy on the road ahead."" (Tweet). Retrieved March 10, 2024– via Twitter.
