Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein has responded to criticism from Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who called Stein’s campaign “predatory” for attacking Joe Biden and Kamala Harris for not being far left enough. AOC questioned Stein’s seriousness and leadership, blaming her for the small number of Green Party candidates elected to office. Stein defended the Green Party’s track record of winning over 1400 elections and criticized the Democratic Party for trying to keep third-party candidates off ballots. Stein, a former physician and Harvard professor, is known for her environmental activism and criticism of American support for Israel. As Stein fights for ballot access in all 50 states and territories, her impact on the 2024 general election remains to be seen, but she has drawn backlash from Democrats in the past for allegedly drawing votes away from Hillary Clinton in key swing states.
