The DNC today released a television ad in battleground states across the country about Green Party candidate Jill Stein and the threat that her spoiler candidacy poses in this election. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ad, titled \u201c<\/em>Crucial<\/em><\/a>,\u201d will run in Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin and on cable across the country. It features an image of Jill Stein that morphs into an image of Donald Trump, reminding voters that a vote for Stein is a vote for Trump. In 2016, Stein handed the White House to Trump, and she has no regrets about it. In fact, she wants to do it again. It\u2019s no wonder that Trump and MAGA operatives are boosting Jill Stein. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

DNC Senior Advisor Mary Beth Cahill released the following statement: <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cJust like in 2016, Jill Stein can\u2019t win the presidency, but she will help decide who does. Donald Trump knows that she\u2019s his key to the White House \u2014 that\u2019s why he praises her spoiler candidacy and why his MAGA allies are working to prop up her campaign. The stakes of this election are too high to allow Stein to spoil it. The DNC will make sure voters know that a vote for anyone other than Kamala Harris is a vote for Donald Trump.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

TRANSCRIPT<\/strong>:<\/strong> <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jill Stein – Green Party candidate for President.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

So why are Trump\u2019s close allies helping her?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stein was key to Trump\u2019s 2016 wins in battleground states.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

She\u2019s not sorry she helped Trump win.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s why a vote for Stein\u2026 is really a vote for Trump.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

DONALD TRUMP: <\/strong>\u201cJill Stein. I like her very much, you know why? She takes 100% from them.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

KAMALA HARRIS: <\/strong>I\u2019m Kamala Harris and I approve this message.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

BACKGROUND<\/strong>: <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2016, Jill Stein helped Trump win the election. She won 132,000 votes in the decisive swing states \u2014 Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania \u2014 while Trump’s margin of victory was just 77,000 votes in those same states. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On June 22, 2024, Donald Trump held a rally in Philadelphia, PA<\/a> where he said \u201cJill Stein, I like her very much. You know why? She takes 100% from them<\/a>.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stein has no problem with playing the spoiler role and training her fire on Democrats, telling Newsweek, \u201cI will stop Kamala Harris [from] winning the White House<\/a>.\u201d Her campaign surrogates also admit she has no path to victory<\/a> and that their top priority is stopping Kamala Harris<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stein has echoed MAGA talking points on issues like January 6 and Trump\u2019s criminal trials. She admitted she is open to pardoning January 6 protesters<\/a> and thinks January 6 was \u201cblown up for political reasons.\u201d Stein has also indicated that she\u2019d consider pardoning Trump<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reporting from The Wall Street Journal<\/em><\/a> and Salon<\/em><\/a> revealed how the Stein campaign used a Republican consulting firm to help her get on the ballot, and in a recent court case in Nevada, Stein was represented by Trump\u2019s former personal attorney.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
