Jill Stein steps up with 2024 presidential run to face Donald Trump again: "We do have the power"

Boston, Massachusetts – Dr. Jill Stein, who also ran in the 2012 and 2016 presidential races, announced Thursday she is again stepping up to run for president in 2024.

Stein will head into the ring and seek election as a Green Party candidate.

"I'm running for president to offer that choice for the people outside of the failed two-party system," she said in a campaign announcement video posted on X on Thursday.

"The political system is broken," the 73-year-old wrote. "Over 60% of us now say the two-party establishment has failed us and we need a party that serves the people."

Stein is a Harvard-educated physician and activist originally from Chicago, Illinois, and ran for governor of Massachusetts as the Green-Rainbow Party's candidate in 2002 and 2010.

Stein reportedly gained 1.4 million votes in the 2016 presidential general election as the Green Party nominee, which some say led to Clinton losing to Trump.

Her run this time around could funnel votes from the likely Democratic and Republican nominees President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump, and make an impact once again.

Jill Stein's slogan for 2024, according to her official campaign website, is "People. Planet. Peace." Her platforms include support for an Economic Bill of Rights, a Green New Deal, abolishing student debt and medical debt, and "crushing inequality, endless war and climate collapse."

"We'll put a pro-worker, anti-war, climate emergency agenda front and center in this election and on the ballot in November," she said of her 2024 campaign.

Other candidates outside the main two parties include Independents Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Cornel West and socialist Claudia De la Cruz.

"We do have the power," Stein said. "And we can use it in this election to start building an America and a world that works for all of us."
