Join NowICYMI: Jill Stein Teams Up With Republicans in Battleground States to Throw Race to Trump
Stein is on the ballot in AZ, GA, MI, NC, PA, and WI
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, MoveOn Political Action continues to sound the alarm on Jill Stein’s campaign potentially thwarting Vice President Kamala Harris’s path to victory in key states. In 2016, Stein’s vote tally made the difference in Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin, flipping the Electoral College from Hillary Clinton to Donald Trump.
Stein has gladly partnered with Republicans in battleground states in the hope of diminishing Vice President Harris’s chances of winning and helping Trump further the Republican Project 2025 plan:
- Jill Stein and her team are openly admitting they’re only in it to help Trump defeat Democrats. At a recent Stein event, activist Kshama Sawant confessed that Stein had no chance of winning the White House but that their goal was to spoil the election by denying Harris a win in Michigan – likely handing Trump the presidency.
- MAGA activist and GOP operative Scott Presler said it was a personal goal to get Stein on the ballot in Pennsylvania. Polling shows that when Stein is included on the ballot, Vice President Harris’s lead falls.
- Stein accepted legal representation from Michael D. Dean, a Wisconsin lawyer involved in lawsuits attempting to overturn the 2020 election results on behalf of Trump. Polling here shows the margin between Vice President Harris and Trump stays the same if third-party candidates are excluded, with more Independents supporting Trump.
- Stein said she is open to pardoning individuals who attacked the Capitol on January 6 at Trump’s direction and said the attempted overthrow of the 2020 election was “blown up for political reasons.”
- Ongoing FEC complaints show detailed, alleged illegal coordination and support between Republican operatives and Stein, Cornel West, and Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s campaigns. The complaints show that Republicans illegally helped third-party candidates deceive voters to gain ballot access, helped source phony ballot electors, and broke campaign finance laws.
“Jill Stein knows she has no shot at winning and is using her candidacy to deny Vice President Kamala Harris the White House and help Trump and his dangerous Project 2025 take over to roll back our rights,” said Britt Jacovich, spokesperson for MoveOn Political Action. “From downplaying the violence of January 6 to accepting help from Trump’s election-denying legal team, she’s made it clear that she is in lockstep with Trump.”
ADDITIONAL BACKGROUND:
Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin aren’t the only states where Stein is taking help from the GOP:
- Jill Stein paid $100,000 to MAGA operative and January 6 insurrectionist Trent Pool.
- In Nevada, the Green Party is seeking reinstatement on the ballot, with representation by Jay Sekulow, an attorney who represented Trump during his impeachment trials.
- Trump has previously praised third-party candidates for taking from Democratic votes: “Cornel West—he’s one of my favorite candidates. I like her also—Jill Stein. You know why? She takes 100% from them. He takes 100%. Kennedy—probably 50-50.”
- Even Stein acknowledged that Trump needs a spoiler candidate: “Trump wants a 2016 rerun.”
