Jill Stein announces 2024 Green Party White House bid 

Doctor and activist Jill Stein is mounting yet another bid for the White House, announcing Thursday that she will seek the 2024 Green Party nomination for president. 

It will be Stein’s third presidential run after failed third-party White House bids in 2012 and 2016. 

“The political system is broken,” Stein said in an X post announcing her new campaign. “Over 60% of us now say the two-party establishment has failed us and we need a party that serves the people.”

“I’m running for President to offer a better choice for the people,” she added. 

Stein’s entrance into the presidential fray adds to the left-wing pressure President Biden will face in 2024.

Far-left activist and professor Cornel West, who had previously been vying for Green Party nomination, is now running for president as an independent. 

As is environmental lawyer and anti-vaccine advocate Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who last month dropped out of the Democratic primary. 

Biden, 80, is also facing a challenge within his own party from Rep. Dean Phillips (D-Minn.), who announced his bid to primary the incumbent last month. 

A CNN poll released earlier this week showed former President Donald Trump leading Biden by 4 percentage points in a hypothetical rematch of the 2020 election. 

The same poll showed Kennedy Jr. receiving 16% support and West garnering 4% of the vote in a four-way race.

“Both Democrats and Republicans have betrayed their promises again and again,” Stein said in a statement. 

“Political insiders always smear outsiders like us, and try to shame voters who want better choices,” she added. “But without freedom of choice in elections, there is no democracy. It’s time to offer the American people a real choice on their ballot independent of the failed establishment.”

The Harvard-trained doctor is campaigning on a platform that includes offering “living-wage jobs for all Americans,” free healthcare, housing, food and education, abolishing medical and student debt and creating a “Green New Deal.”

Stein also vowed to “end endless war and rampant militarism, and use diplomacy and international law to end violence, occupation, and apartheid.”

She received roughly 1.4 million votes, or 1.1%, during her 2016 presidential campaign, far more than the 469,501 votes, or 0.4%, she garnered in her 2012 effort.
