A new ad about Green Party candidate Jill Stein has been released by Vice President Kamala Harris‘ campaign and the Democratic National Committee.
The ad declares, “A vote for Stein is really a vote for Trump,” and has Stein’s image morph into former President Donald Trump. Stein helped hand Trump battleground states in 2016, and Democrats are concerned about her being on the ballot in swing states like Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin.
The ad also features a clip from a Trump rally where he said, “Jill Stein, I like her very much. You know why? She takes 100 percent from them.”
Polls show Stein is polling in about one percent in swing states. She is not the only independent left in the presidential race. Left-leaning Cornel West and Libertarian Chase Oliver both also have about one percent.
