Green Party candidate Jill Stein has warned that Kamala Harris cannot win the White House and her followers have Democrats in swing state Wisconsin terrified.
Green Party candidate Jill Stein has warned that Kamala Harris cannot win the White House and her followers have Democrats in swing state Wisconsin terrified.
The far-left Stein is often considered a spoiler candidate who swung votes away from Hillary Clinton 2016. She is back on the ballot in 2024 and determined to make a statement.
Stein believes that anti-Israel sentiment - along with rhetoric about the Jewish state committing genocide - from Muslims and Arab Americans in swing states like Michigan will ultimately deny Harris the presidency this November.
However, its in Wisconsin where Steins Green Party seems to be causing liberals the most anxiety, after Joe Biden won the state by just 21,000 votes in 2020.
Stein is expected to be on the ballot in 2024 after the partys 2020 candidate Howie Hawkins was left off on a technicality and Democrats are sweating out every vote.

Pete Karas, the Green Party leader in Wisconsin, is glad to cause them consternation.
We need to teach Democrats a lesson. Theyre trying to mess with us and mess with democracy, and they have a couple of choices, he told Politico.
They can continue to do that and suffer the consequences, or they can pass ranked choice voting so that we actually do have fair elections.
Caroline Bechen, a Democrat activist and elected official in a suburb of state capital Madison, is certainly uncomfortable.
Of course I have concerns. Id be a fool if I didnt have concerns. I am almost afraid to be optimistic, she said.
Stein has already spoken about what she believes is a betrayal of Muslims in the midwest.
The Democrats cannot win without the support of the Muslim American community, she said.
And that community has left the station and is not coming back unless the Democrats decide that its more important to them to win the election than it is to conduct the genocide.

Anti-Israel protesters like the CODEPINK group have hijacked Harris rallies in the state in recent week
Anti-Israel protesters from the group CODEPINK hijacked a Harris rally in the state, chanting: Kamala, Kamala, you cant hide. We charge you with genocide.
Democrats in the state dont believe the threat is serious because the party has no real power or presence to speak of.
Only one Green Party member serves on one of Wisconsins 72 county boards of supervisor and only one 82-year-old candidate from the Greens is running for Congress.
Even though Stein herself hasnt even been to Wisconsin in seven months, Democrats believe anti-Israel sentiment could find their way to either voting Green or not at all on November 5.
Ive been talking to people who dont want to vote, or want to vote Green Party. Most of those [conversations] are about the war in Gaza, said at-large Wisconsin delegate Evelyn Comer.
Stein sees a Democrat Party worried about her potential influence and unwilling to win over her voters.
The [Democrats] appear to be quite afraid of facing the music here … they want to wipe out their competition so they dont have to face a challenge, she said.
Shes even accused the Democratic National Committee of deeply underhanded tactics.

They wanted people to infiltrate and spy on our campaign. It smells like a rat.
Stein is referring to a DNC job posting that was posted and quickly taken down in May titled Independent & Third Party Project Manager.
Their responsibilities included Following RFK Jr., Cornel West, Jill Stein candidate events in the region and sharing intel in real time.
The DNC has not commented on the job posting.
Stein - currently polling in single digits but the most ardently anti-Israel candidate on the ballot - spelled out what the Democrats need to do to sway her voters.
So they have to do a 180 on the genocide and they dont appear willing to do that. They could win those votes back, but it doesnt look like thats on the cards. So it looks like they are sacrificing several swing states, she said.
She says that Harris will lose enough of Muslim and Arab voters to swing the election to Trump. Most polls show her within the margin of error, tied or losing to Trump in places like Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania.
Instead, Stein claims those voters are choosing to embrace her candidacy.

Polling by the Council on American Islamic Relations has shown Stein leading Harris and even Trump among Muslim voters in states like Wisconsin and Michigan.
Were doing outreach all the time to a lot of different groups but its really been the Muslim Americans and Arab Americans who have really taken this campaign on like its theirs—like they have enormous ownership over this, she said.
Trump will be headed to Wisconsin for a rally on Saturday as he continues to gain ground on Harris in the swing states.
As of Saturday morning, RealClearPolitics has Harris with just under a point lead on Trump in their aggregate, while FiveThirtyEight has the vice president up by 1.6 points.
DailyMail.coms election model has the state as a tossup, with the arrow pointing ever slightly toward Harris for now.
