Oct 11, 2024, 02:34 PM

Democrats have launched a series of attacks against Green Party presidential nominee Jill Stein amid fears she could act as a spoiler in the 2024 election. Stein is polling at around 1 percent in most surveys, but advisers to Vice President Kamala Harris are concerned that even this small margin could sway the race in favor of Donald Trump. The Democratic National Committee (DNC) has released its first-ever ad focused on third-party candidates, directly comparing Stein to Trump and warning that her candidacy could benefit him in key swing states. According to WaPo, the race may be polling within that margin.
