Stein jumped into the race as a third-party candidate in late 2023 after Cornel West, who was running under the Green Party banner, opted to run as an independent (Stein had been running West’s campaign). In her announcement video, she said she was running because the two-party political system is “broken,” and she called for putting “a pro-worker, anti-war, climate emergency agenda front and center in this election and on the ballot across the country.” She has been vocal in condemning Israel’s assault on the Gaza Strip after the October 2023 Hamas attack and criticizing President Biden, saying he is failing to stop Israel’s “genocidal rampage.” Some accused Stein’s candidacy of resulting in Donald Trump’s 2016 win during her last bid for the White House because she siphoned 1.4 million votes nationally, including in key battleground states. Third-party candidates could play a significant role in the 2024 race.
